This vast 800-mile (1,300 km) stretch of the northernmost part of the continent is now increasingly vulnerable to invasive species as a result of these environmental changes.

Using satellite data, researchers from the universities of Exeter and Hertfordshire, along with the British Antarctic Survey, examined how much “greening” has occurred in response to rising temperatures....<<<Read More>>>...
