Greenland Hunters - B-Roll
Over the last five years Iceland has experienced its warmest weather in over a millennium. Scientists are warning that the island's glaciers are retreating faster than ever before with potentially devastating consequences as the regions volcanoes are uncovered. Many Greenlanders depend upon polar bears, walrus, and seals for food and other traditional uses. As the ice pack recedes from shore, hunters are forced to travel longer distances on ice that is thinning and unstable, making a difficult job even more dangerous. Sea ice also suppresses wave action during a storm, so a reduction in sea ice could mean that stormy seas result in more violent and dangerous conditions for hunters navigating their boats.

Greenland Climate Change Tour
Greenpeace ship MV Arctic Sunrise (MVAS) tour to the Kangerdlussuaq Fjord in Greenland that until a few years ago was filled with a massive glacier that has retreated 5 km in the last few years due to global warming. Greenpeace, with scientists from the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine, USA are documenting evidence of climate change. Preliminary findings indicate Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier on Greenland's east coast could be one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world with a speed of almost 14 kilometres per year. Outlet glaciers like Kangerdlugssuaq transport ice from the heart of the Greenland Ice Sheet to the ocean and discharge icebergs which contribute to sea level rise.
