THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
The first part of the journey to the Arctic Sea was always the London Ship, which brought our narrator into Hudson Bay and York Factory. In the early 1840s a young and very inexperienced English man sailed for York Factory, and had a good story or two to tell. #Yukon #NWT #ThreeJourneysNorth #DehCho #Arctic #SirJohnFranklin https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/london-to-york-factory/

The search expeditions for Franklin helped a lot to map the Northern coast of today's Canada. For instance #HMSInvestigator under McClure with #Miertsching on Board.

Top Story in the Arctic this week, October 28th!

Doug Burgum, the Secretary of the US interior department, declared that the entire Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is now open for oil and gas drilling. Then, Burgum signed a series of permits to allow the construction of the Ambler Road project, a road stretching for over 200 miles, or about 340 kilometers, through Alaskan wilderness to expand mining opportunities. Finally, he signed documents to allow the King Cove road project to begin, which will build a road through a sensitive bird sanctuary to connect the town of King Cove with its nearest airport.

These projects are set to open Alaska up to industry like never before, but at real risk to the Arctic environment.

🧊🦠 Marine biologists at the University of #Copenhagen found #nitrogen-fixing #bacteria living under #Arctic sea ice, where scientists previously thought conditions were too harsh for these organisms to survive. As Arctic ice melts due to #climatechange, these microbes may proliferate and alter marine food webs and #carbon dioxide absorption, which means #climate models need updating to account for their presence.

Europe’s rights court clears Norway of climate misconduct over Arctic oil licences.

The European Court of Human Rights said Tuesday that Norway did not breach its climate obligations when it awarded Arctic oil and gas exploration licenses in 2016.

It was a setback for climate activists after a landmark ruling last year against Switzerland for failing to take sufficient action on climate change.
