An ice sheet in the southwestern region of Greenland is releasing huge amounts of mercury into nearby rivers. The discovery is worrying as the toxic metal can accumulate in the marine animals that are a key dietary component for local Indigenous communities.
Mercury is a naturally occurring metal found in some rocks. As glaciers slowly flow downhill, they grind up the underlying rocks, potentially releasing mercury into their meltwater.

To find out whether this is occurring in Greenland, Jon Hawkings at Florida State University and his colleagues analysed meltwater flowing from the southwestern margin of the Greenland ice sheet.
Apparently, these mysterious supernatural beings bear no resemblance to Santa’s helpers or Legolas from

According to
, Iceland’s Elf School, started by headmaster (and elf expert) Magnus Skarphedinsson, is dedicated to documenting elf encounters in the country, with a total of 1,400 stories and counting.

World s largest iceberg on collision course with penguin colony island By Sophie Lewis Massive Antarctica iceberg
An enormous iceberg measuring roughly the length of Delaware broke off an Antarctic ice shelf in 2017. Now, that iceberg is headed directly for South Georgia Island threatening to devastate the fragile penguin colony that calls the island home.
The European Space Agency says the iceberg, called A68a, is on course to collide with the island after years of floating towards it due to ocean currents. A68a is currently less than 100 miles off the coast of the South Atlantic island and scientists predict the collision could occur within days or weeks.
