Greenland is, unfortunately, an excellent place to show the impact of climate change. Temperatures are increasing relatively rapidly, and the consequences are visible all around the ice sheet as outlet glaciers accelerate, thin and retreat. Entire ecosystems change, forcing the local community to change traditions and customs – for instance in fishing and hunting. Greenland is only the proverbial tip of the iceberg, as nature is in flux around the planet.
Last year Greenland Guidance supported a film crew shooting footage for a Netflix documentary. Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet came out recently and features very impressive footage of the Greenland ice sheet (and elsewhere), narrated by David Attenborough. Go see it if you haven’t already!
