In June 2022, a gold miner in the Canadian Yukon made a remarkable discovery. While working on the traditional lands of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation, he uncovered the exceptionally well-preserved, frozen remains of a wooly mammoth calf that died 30,000 years ago. And this find isn't the only of its kind. Brendan Rogers and Jessica Howard uncover secrets buried in the Arctic permafrost.

Brendan Rogers and Jessica Howard: What happens when the Arctic permafrost melts?

What happens when the Arctic permafrost melts?

Arctic permafrost preserves ancient life, offering a window to the past with intact remains like a 30,000-year-old mammoth calf.

Permafrost thaw, accelerated by climate change, risks unleashing 1.6 trillion tons of carbon, doubling current atmospheric levels.

Rapid permafrost melt endangers 3.6 million people by 2050, challenging Indigenous communities to preserve traditions amid change.
