Tiny algae are making Greenland's ice melt even faster by turning its bright white surface darker. Scientists say blooms of microscopic algae feed on nutrients trapped in the ice, creating brownish-gray patches that absorb more sunlight instead of reflecting it, accelerating the loss of glaciers and the ice sheet. With Greenland already losing ice around six times faster than in the 1990s, researchers believe underst…

Topic
Science — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 24 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 94% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and the other topics.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 24 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 5 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
1 reaction across 1 post, in 1 kind.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 1 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 1 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 24 June 2026 to 5 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

One of the rarest celestial events in years is about to turn daytime into twilight across parts of Europe. On August 12, a total solar eclipse will sweep over Spain, Iceland and Greenland, while millions more across Europe, North America and West Africa will witness a partial eclipse. The spectacle comes on a day already packed with skywatching highlights, including a six-planet alignment before dawn and the peak of …
Some of the biggest clues about Earth's climate are hidden beneath Greenland's glaciers. A major research mission will send a fleet of air, surface and underwater robots closer to the ice than ever before to study how warming oceans are speeding up glacier melt. The data will help scientists better predict future sea-level rise and improve climate forecasts. Sometimes the hardest places to reach hold the answers that…
An enormous iceberg dramatically flipped over off the coast of Ilulissat, Greenland, revealing its jagged underside in a rare natural spectacle. The powerful rollover took place on July 25 near the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, as waves and fog surrounded the massive block of ice. No injuries or damage were reported. Sometimes even the oldest giants can turn over and reveal a side the world has never seen.
Greenland is far more than the frozen stereotype many people imagine. A journey aboard the coastal ferry M/S Sarfaq Ittuk reveals an island where travel is measured in small villages, family traditions and lessons passed from one generation to the next-like learning to spot reindeer hidden among the rocks. As passengers move south along the rugged coastline, locals say the outside world often overlooks the culture an…
Sometimes the biggest scientific discoveries are only 10 centimetres long. Researchers have discovered an Arctic bobtail squid carrying eggs for the first time in the remote waters of Northeast Greenland National Park, providing rare evidence that the species breeds in one of the planet's harshest environments. The squid was found at a depth of 50 metres in water as cold as −1.6°C, and scientists say the finding offe…
Sometimes the toughest construction jobs happen far from any city. Engineers from the New York National Guard are partnering with Greenland Airports to replace a long-troubled roof on a hotel in Kangerlussuaq, using the project as both a practical upgrade and a chance to tackle the challenges of building in the Arctic. The new pitched roof is designed to end years of leaks, with construction expected to be completed …
Greenland is preparing to become one of the world's most exclusive front-row seats. On August 12, a total solar eclipse will cross Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain, drawing travelers willing to spend up to $225,000 for a chance to witness the rare celestial event. Greenland will offer one of the longest views of totality, while Spain promises the dramatic spectacle of an eclipsed sunset. When nature puts on a sh…

Greenland has sent one of its icy giants on a long journey south. A massive iceberg measuring nearly six kilometers long and four kilometers wide has drifted about 1,200 kilometers along the island’s eastern coast, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute. Scientists expect it to break apart as it moves into warmer waters, creating smaller icebergs along the way. Ice formations of this size appear only once e…
What happens on a remote Greenland glacier may end up shaping the weather far beyond the Arctic. An international team aboard the British research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough is heading to southeast Greenland to collect unprecedented data on how melting glaciers interact with the ocean, using autonomous vehicles, advanced sensors, and AI-powered climate models. Scientists hope the six-week mission will improve fo…
Some animals measure life in years-Greenland sharks measure it in centuries. These Arctic giants drift through icy waters at about 30 centimeters per second, grow just one centimeter a year, and don't reach sexual maturity until around 150 years old, meaning many breeding adults alive today were already swimming before the American Revolution began. Scientists estimate the species can live for roughly 400 years, maki…
Sometimes an ordinary passenger plane gets a second career. Air Greenland is upgrading two DHC-8-Q200 turboprops with PAL Aerospace so they can support maritime surveillance and defense missions under the International Maritime Organization's maritime domain awareness program. The project includes aircraft modifications, crew training, software support, maintenance, and future upgrades, while also helping build long-…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @greenland. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
