Glaciologists on Glacier in Greenland
Glaciologists Gordon Hamilton, from the University of Maine's Climate Change Institute and Leigh Stearns from the University of Kansas, work on the surface of the Kangerdlugssuaq glacier. They use the Greenpeace helicopter to drop them at this hard to reach point, where they install GPS units to monitor the glacier's dynamic movement. They are part of an independent team of scientists currently on board the Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise.

Glaciology Research in Eastern 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 second section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research in Eastern Greenland, on Helheim and Kangerdlugsuaq glaciers and their fjords. The team then transits north to work on the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorde Glacier (known as '79 Glacier.')
