Climate change has impacted virtually every part of life in Greenland. The tradition of dogsledding illustrates just one aspect of what's at risk for the island as the Earth warms.

A genomic analysis of Greenland’s Qimmeq dogs suggest they and their human partners arrived on the island centuries earlier than previously thought.
