Warning for other Arctic communities as residents told not to use water in Longyearbyen in Svalbard, one of the fastest-warming places in the world Residents of a remote town in Norway that is in one of the fastest-warming places in the world have been told they must no longer drink tap water due to heavy metal contamination that scientists have linked to the thawing permafrost.

位于斯瓦尔巴群岛群岛的朗伊尔城,其主要饮用水源来自一个名为伊斯达门(Isdammen,意为“冰池”)的长达1.5英里(2.5公里)筑坝湖。气候危机导致的更高温度融化了永久冻土,导致新暴露的基岩将金属浸入池中。
Longyearbyen, in the archipelago of Svalbard, gets its main drinking water supply from a 1.5 mile-long (2.5km) dammed lake called Isdammen, or “ice pond”. Higher temperatures as a result of the climate crisis have thawed permafrost, leading to newly exposed bedrock leaching metals into the pond.
