Mining Pipeline: Energy Transition Minerals says it found 10 new rare-earth target zones at Kvanefjeld in southern Greenland, including an 1.8km trend with uranium below Greenland’s 100ppm legal threshold—potentially reopening parts of the project for magnet-critical dysprosium and terbium. Arctic Industry & Tourism: A new wind- and solar-powered polar cruise ship, Captain Arctic, is set to debut later this year as a lower-emissions model for Arctic adventure tourism. Climate & Shipping Impact: A DTU study reports Greenland glaciers are calving four times more icebergs than in 2000, with knock-on effects for deep-sea habitats and rising shipping risks.
