BBC Four - Into the Ice

Three scientists go on an expedition to Greenland to find out how fast the ice is melting.

Three scientists go onto and into the Greenland ice sheet – further than anyone has travelled before – to find out how fast the ice is melting and gather the data that will help predict our future.

An intrepid expedition onto and into the Greenland ice sheet with three of the world’s leading experts as they try to answer the urgent question, how fast is the ice melting? Greenland’s inland ice is hostile, wild and unpredictable, but making observations and taking detailed measurements on the ground is essential to fully understanding what is happening there. 

Director Lars Henrik Ostenfeld travels to Greenland with the scientists as they brave storms and climb deeper into the constantly shifting glaciers than anyone before them to gather the precious data that will help predict the future.
