Into the Ice

After years of research, we still do not know how fast the Greenland ice sheet is melting. Director Lars Henrik Ostenfeld goes on an expedition with three of the world’s leading glaciologists, each a distinctive personality: Alun Hubbard, Dorthe Dahl-Jensen and Jason Box are each dedicated to uncovering the scope and consequences of the climate crisis. It involves Hubbard and the film’s director descending 180 metres into one of the big meltwater holes in the ice sheet. Insights into the fundamental curiosity that drives the best scientists.
