At Kangerlussuaq Airport in Greenland, an American Air Force plane touches down after a vital resupply mission to a science base on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Skis on the plane enable it to land and take off on ice and snow. Nearby, PhD scientist Ian Bartholomew diligently works, employing dye tracing techniques to measure the Russell Glacier's speed. His study examines how increasing quantities of melt water caused by climate change are affecting this glacier's movement. Meanwhile, a satellite dish and various measuring tools, including a theodolite and GPS equipment, are employed to gather crucial data. A signpost at the airport serves as a reminder of the remote yet significant research underway in this Arctic landscape.
