NOAA reports a five nation study links a soot haze over the Arctic to absorbed sunlight and ice-reflected light, potentially raising temperatures. A plume near Barrow, Alaska, described as equivalent to five to six large power plants, illustrates the scale. Scientists caution on exact effects and note possible pack ice reduction but lack direct ties.

Wildlife officials in HOLY ROOD Newfoundland launch a round up by helicopter to capture about 30 caribou for transport to Maine. Biologists plan tranquilizers, disease checks, and antler removal if needed before loading the 1200 mile journey in a double decker truck. The effort, partnered with Maine transplant groups, aims to reestablish Maine’s caribou herd after decades of decline.
