The SA Agulhas II visit to Tristan may have been a short one this year, but that certainly didn’t stop a huge amount of important work from taking place during those few weeks! #TristandaCunha

In Antarctica, ice and wind erase more than 200 years of human presence. Agustina Iñiguez traces how architecture there evolved from sealers’ stone shelters to research stations like Halley VI, shaped by science, geopolitics, and rules requiring obsolete structures to be removed. signed to leave no trace?

Good news. Greenland’s parliament has voted unanimously to halt all seabed mining until 2029, when the ban can be renewed. The decision is being hailed as a slap in the face for Donald Trump

Report: Pentagon Plans to Build New Military Facilities in Greenland Next Year
The United States hopes to establish the first new military facilities in Greenland as early as next year. At the same time, the Pentagon is planning extensive upgrades to Pituffik Space Base, according to a senior defence official.
The United States expects to begin work on new military facilities in Greenland next year, while the US Department of Defense is also planning major upgrades to Pituffik Space Base.
This was reported by the conservative news outlet Washington Examiner, citing a senior Pentagon official who spoke at a meeting with defence journalists in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.
“We hope to have some initial capability in place as early as next year,” the official said, referring to President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States intends to establish two new military bases in Greenland.
The plans involve Narsarsuaq in southern Greenland and Mestersvig on the east coast. The possibility of establishing US military facilities at these two locations is included in the new defence agreement between the United States, Greenland and Denmark.
Weather Conditions Affect Construction Plans
The Pentagon has already begun planning, but weather conditions limit the possibility of starting construction this year, according to the Trump administration official.
“We are currently in the planning phase because we are almost immediately running out of the window in which the weather allows us to carry out work,” the official explained.
According to the official, southern Greenland has approximately 300 days a year when weather conditions permit construction work. At Pituffik in northern Greenland, the construction season is limited to just a few months.
Mestersvig already has a gravel runway approximately 1,830 metres long, which could be incorporated into plans for the new facilities.
Radar and Power Infrastructure to Be Upgraded
In addition to the new facilities, the United States is planning a series of investments at Pituffik Space Base, which plays a critical role in defending the United States against potential missile attacks.
The planned improvements include upgrades to radar systems, power infrastructure and aircraft hangars.
According to the official, a detailed investment plan is already in place, with work expected to begin next year when weather conditions allow.
Pituffik is a central component of the US early-warning system for detecting potential missile attacks against the American mainland.
Greenland’s geographical location makes it strategically important because missile trajectories across the Arctic could pass over Greenland.
“The importance of what Pituffik provides, both in the space domain and in strategic early warning, cannot be overstated,” the official said.

The new EU Arctic Strategy, revealed today, is bound to be attacked from all sides – especially from Russian / American disinformation farms and their useful Euro-idiots.
When you read the strategy, you'll understand why: it is stronger than ever. 😉

This is the Arctic.
Europe’s Northern Neighborhood.
Tomorrow, we’re presenting a new Strategy for our common geographical and political space.

Swiss glaciers lost 5% of their ice in 2026, accdg to GLAMOS. Their total volume has shrunk by nearly 20% in the last 5 years.
This echoes the WMO’s #StateOfWater 2025 report, which found that every glaciated region on Earth lost ice in the last 5 years.
