Greenland Thin Ice Clipreel #2
The MV Arctic Sunrise tours 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. Clipreel features testimonies from local people from Ittoqqortoormiit; life in Scoresbyssund village; local people invited onboard MVAS for open-boat day; icebergs and landscapes; Danish military Sirius patrol around the north east coast of Greenland; wildlife; Zackenberg research station and Musk Oxen.

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.
