Rare Earths Update: Greenland Mines says Greenland has formally approved the indirect transfer of the Sarfartoq rare-earth exploration licence, clearing a key step toward its Sarfartoq project deal and future development planning. Ice & Research: The RRS Sir David Attenborough is docked in Reykjavík as part of the GIANT project, studying how Greenland meltwater affects North Atlantic currents and climate impacts.
