The @WhiteHouse has released a new Maritime Action Plan - and it states that US will modernize aging infrastructure in #Greenland. Will be interesting to follow where and what.

The shores of the Arctic ocean are thrumming with ever more activity. Expect more in spring 2026, when the ice breaks up. The region is becoming less remote and forbidding https://t.co/D9EeveEViD

Just got my copy of this beautiful book in which I had the honour to contribute. Great job @madsfred @ArcticEcom! 👍

When we present #icebreaker statistics, we strive to make any comparison "apples to apples".

For example, if China is claimed to have six icebreakers, then using the same criteria the United States would certainly have more than three.

STM Mette Frederiksen:
”Sammen styrker vi velfærden og økonomien i Grønland 🇬🇱🇩🇰. Glad for at underskrive aftale med Jens-Frederik Nielsen om nye investeringer i bl.a. en ny landingsbane & dybvandshavn og nyt samarbejde på sundhedsområdet. Så vi i fællesskab styrker Grønland."

@AkerArctic If you add me then I will just write a PM - maybe I can help out :)

@AkerArctic We are currently trying to make a poster as well....I was trying to be inspired by @AkerArctic's but I can't find it anywhere - did it ever go on the website?

❄️A wise observation from @madsfred on what the #EUArcticForum is about

We need everyone around the table when taking decisions about the Arctic

[Mads Qvist Frederiksen @madsfred]

@PVuorimaki I love that setup though !

A stunning scene in Tromsø yesterday!
Locals and runners from around the world ran under the midnight sun.

A race beyond borders, lit by Arctic light. 🕊️✨
