Nereus, a remotely operated vehicle, is set to travel to some of the deepest and coldest parts of the sea to find out exactly how our aquatic environments are changing--and how to fix it.

The legendary oceanographer calls the Arctic a “hope spot.” In other words, she said, we still have a chance to get it right.

To resupply Arctic mines and oil rigs, roads are expensive (if not simply out of the question). A new company is building fast and efficient helium-fueled blimps to get the needed supplies to workers up north.

Every northern country is making territorial claims to land being exposed under melting ice, creating a truly cold new Cold War near the North Pole.

What would happen if there were an oil disaster in the Arctic? According to these leaked emails: Nothing that all the cash from Arctic drilling won't justify.

Frozen ocean, big boats, powerful engines and deliberate, full-speed collisions, icebreakers are ships we tend not to think much about, but they're worth a longer look. They don't work how you think they might.

Hanh mitakuyapi. Hello my relatives.

 I received an email recently that claims Wal-Mart senior management has been calling mandatory meetings for the company's employees in which the employees are told they "cannot" vote for the Obama-Biden ticket "or any other employee-friendly, union-friendly candidates for political office". It's not an urban legend, according to the sources I checked.

 This makes me so angry I just boil. When it comes to the Constitution, I am a rabid supporter.
