๐จAlert!๐จ As anticipated last week the forecast #Greenland melt event has occurred โ just look at that spike! Unusually warm temperatures causing significant melt and #Arctic change means global risks for everyone. Find out more - arcticrisk.org/alerts#ClimateChange
WARNING. NEXT WEEK. A significant heatwave is expected throughout #Canada next week bringing temperatures 10+ยฐC above normal. This #heatwave is notable for several reasonsโnotably that it is occurring so early in the season and during a year in which we are expecting #ElNino. 1/

Professor Hubbard commented, โSurface melt, upwelling & moulins kicking off
We were very privileged to show HRH Princess Eugenie and friend of Arctic Basecamp @elliegoulding our #Greenland iceberg today at our camp at #COP26. Highlighting #ArcticMelt
Princess Eugenie has quietly spent the past three days at #COP26 meeting with activists, researchers and environmental orgs. She shared some highlights on IG, including her time with @BlueMarineF, @ArcticBasecamp (with pal @elliegoulding), @EIB and marine biologist @SylviaEarle.
Amazing youth climate delegates and volunteers who camped with us #wef2020 @kaimesilvestres @vanessa_vash @Wenying_Z Sascha Blidorf Eva Jones Max Whiteman Brix Whiteman @TheRealBerghaus@endura
Today @ArcticBasecamp@Davos our very own @PolarCaro got to witness a discussion with youth delegates fighting to make our ๐ a better place โ๐ฝ
