After the morning rush at the office, I was just catching up on some of the Arctic happenings over the weekend.

There’s a couple of interesting ones.

The Globe and Mail, a national Canadian newspaper, devoted its Saturday edition to the Canadian North. It looked at everything from politics to sports to fashion. They’ve also developed an extensive online component with videos and photos.

You can browse it all here.

And from the North American North to the European Arctic… Norway’s Arctic Frontiers conference got underway this Sunday and lasts until Friday, January 24th.

There’s some great converstaions on Twitter about the conference (#ArcticFrontiers) so it’s well worth keeping an eye on.

The conference is also making much of their content available on their website.

And there’s much that you can watch online.

Also, keep an eye out for tweets (@iceblogger) and posts from Deutsche Welle’s Iceblogger Irene Quaile, also one of Eye on Arctic’s partners and our eyes and ears and the conference.
