It seems like Greenland has been in the news a lot

It seems like Greenland has been in the news a lot recently, so it’s a good thing that this beautiful book, The Ice At the End of the World: Am Epic Journey into Greenland’s Buried Past and our Perilous Future, is published today! 🇬🇱
.
Locked within that vast ‘white desert’ are some of our planet’s most profound secrets. As the Arctic climate warms, and Greenland’s ice melts at an accelerating rate, the island is evolving into an economic and climatological hub, on which the future of the world turns. .

Journalist and historian Jon Gertner reconstructs in vivid, thrilling detail the heroic efforts of the scientists and explorers who have visited Greenland over the past 150 years – on skis, sleds, and now with planes and satellites, utilising every tool available to uncover the pressing secrets revealed by the ice before, thanks to climate change, it’s too late. .
