Despite global setbacks in women's rights, inspiring resistance and progressive policies are emerging in places like Iceland and Rojava, demonstrating the resilience and potential for positive change through grassroots democracy, feminist activism, and innovative legal strategies.
Iceland recorded its hottest Christmas Eve ever at 19.8°C due to warm tropical air and high pressure systems, highlighting the impacts of global warming, which has led to record heatwaves, melting glaciers, and the appearance of mosquitoes in the country.
Melting glaciers due to climate change may increase the risk and size of volcanic eruptions, especially in ice-covered volcanoes like Iceland's Bardarbunga, potentially leading to more explosive and dangerous eruptions as the Earth's crust responds to the loss of ice weight, with global implications for other glaciated volcanoes worldwide.
Iceland has detected its first mosquitoes, with three sightings confirmed, raising concerns about the impact of climate change on the country's ecosystem.
Iceland has recorded its first-ever presence of mosquitoes, likely arriving via freight and surviving due to rising temperatures caused by climate change, marking a significant ecological shift in the Nordic country.
Mosquitoes have been spotted in Iceland for the first time, likely indicating a recent introduction possibly via ships or containers, despite the country's long-standing mosquito-free status. The discovery raises concerns about climate change and environmental adaptation, although the species found appears well-suited to colder climates. More monitoring is needed to assess their spread.
Mosquitoes have been discovered in Iceland for the first time, likely due to record-breaking heat this spring, raising concerns about climate change and ecosystem impacts.
Mosquitoes have been detected in Iceland for the first time due to rising temperatures from climate change, highlighting the expanding range of disease-carrying insects and potential public health risks. The species found is cold-tolerant and typically inhabits regions across Europe and Asia, with warming conditions enabling their migration to previously inhospitable areas like Iceland.
Mosquitoes have been found in Iceland for the first time, likely due to the country's rapid warming caused by climate change, which is making it more hospitable for insects and potentially invasive species that can spread tropical diseases.
Scientists confirmed the first outdoor discovery of mosquitoes in Iceland, with three specimens of the species Culiseta annulata found in West Iceland, raising concerns about potential establishment due to climate conditions.
Three mosquitoes of the species Culiseta annulata were discovered in Iceland by Björn Hjaltason, marking the first confirmed sighting of this species in the country, raising questions about their potential establishment and origin, possibly from nearby shipping areas.
The article highlights the five smallest countries to have ever qualified for the FIFA World Cup, including Cape Verde, Iceland, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and Northern Ireland, with details on their populations and World Cup histories.
Despite global conflicts, Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand, Austria, and Singapore remain the world's safest countries in 2025, thanks to policies promoting peace, social safety nets, and community trust, which shape daily life and foster a sense of security.
Iceland's latest volcanic eruption, the 12th since 2021, features a 2.4 km fissure spewing lava, captured dramatically by drone footage, with ongoing lava flows and minor seismic activity, posing local risks from wildfires and toxic gases.
A volcanic eruption has occurred in Iceland's Sundhúksgígar crater row, marking the ninth eruption in the area since 2021, prompting evacuations and causing gas pollution concerns, with spectacular drone footage capturing the event.
