Residents of Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Norway, have been told not to use tap water after climate-related thawing released heavy metals into local water supplies. Svalbard is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth, and observers warn the contamination is a warning for other Arctic communities facing similar permafrost thaw.
Why now: The contamination highlights how rapid Arctic warming is producing immediate, practical consequences for communities far from the public eye.
