Time Lapse Cameras Record Ice Breakups
Glaciologist Dr Jason Box adjusts his remote time lapse cameras high on the cliffs above Petermann Glacier. He points the camera directly at a crack which has appeared in the ice far below. The camera will automatically make images once every minute, to produce time lapse films of the ice breakup. These provide a unique and revealing insight into how glacial ice breaks and drifts to sea. The installation of several time lapse cameras on Petermann and other glaciers in north Greenland is a joint initiative between Greenpeace and Extreme Ice Survey (EIS).

Glaciology Research in Western Greenland
In summer 2009, the MY Arctic Sunrise sails to the Arctic to document the dire effects climate change has on one of the most fragile environments in the world. Independent scientists use the ship, helicopter, boats and assistance of the crew, to collect data and research the impacts of climate change. During this first section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research on Petermann and Humboldt glaciers in Western Greenland.
