Some might argue that 'Arctic Dreams' is the greatest book ever written about the region. Five years after its author Barry Lopez's death, it remains a vivid guide to what 90 North Foundation is fighting to protect. #BarryLopez #ArcticDreams #Conservation

Scientists are warning that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is being fatally weakened by melting ice from the Arctic. However, a conference at Exeter next year is encouraging people to look at potentially positive as well as negative climate tipping points... . #TippingPoints #ExeterUniversity #ArcticOcean #AMOC ❄️

"While walruses are mostly found in the Arctic Circle, there have been 27 walrus sightings in UK waters over the past 130 years." It's great to see charities like Marine Conservation Society spotlighting these wonderful Arctic visitors to the UK! 🙌
This week's #SpeciesSpotlight is on the blubbery wonders of the Arctic - the magnificent walruses! Let's dive into some fun facts about these iconic marine mammals: - Both male and female walruses have long tusks that can grow up to 1m. These tusks are used for various purposes, including climbing onto the ice, defending against predators and establishing dominance during mating rituals. Interestingly, walrus tusks continue to grow throughout their lives. - Walruses are known for their long naps, sometimes sleeping for up to 20 hours a day - that's more than cats! - Females walruses give birth after about 15 months and they are known for doting on their calves, cuddling them like human mothers and caring for them for up to 5 years. - Walruses have air sacs known as “pharyngeal pouches” on their throats that can hold up to 50 litres of air and inflate like pillows. When these pouches are full, walruses can doze off vertically in the water, ensuring they stay afloat and safe from drowning. - Although they are not picky eaters, walruses are particularly partial to molluscs - adults may eat as many as 3,000 to 6,000 clams in a single feeding session! - While walruses are mostly found in the Arctic Circle, there have been 27 walrus sightings in UK waters over the past 130 years. The melting of sea ice due to climate change poses a significant threat to walrus populations, as they rely on it for resting, feeding, and breeding.
