Mysterious Signal Linked to Greenland Landslide Highlights Climate Change Impact
In September 2023, a unique global signal was traced to a massive landslide in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord. This event, caused by the thinning of glaciers due to climate change, generated a prolonged hum heard worldwide for nine days. Research highlights how climate change is exacerbating glacier instability, leading to increased risks of such cata...

Siberian Crater’s Mysterious Growth Could Be Due to Methane Gas, Scientists Find
In Siberia, a massive crater emerged explosively in the tundra, sending ice and rock hundreds of feet away and creating a large circular scar. This event marked the 17th crater discovered in the Yamal and Gyda peninsulas since 2013, attracting significant scientific interest. The craters are believed to be linked to climate change, with modern tool...

Last Woolly Mammoths Extinction Mystery: New Genetic Insights Revealed
Four thousand years ago, the last woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island, situated off the coast of present-day Siberia. Traditionally, it was believed that their remote location led to inbreeding, which was thought to be the primary cause of their extinction. However, recent research challenges this notion. A study reveals new insights into the m...
