and that is the greenland ice cap. and we're here because the arctic is changing and this year is changing faster than ever. events never seen before made headlines across the world. the ice cap melted at a record rate. the water a created in 24 hours enough to entirely cover an area. the size of florida in 5 centimeters of water. great chunks of the ice sheet collapsed and drifted off into the open ocean and has been so warm. it has been rain, not snow on the summit for the 1st time on record. but what does it mean and why does it matter? and what is what happens on the ice sheet had global implications, where the ice capsule part of the plan is natural system and that system has been breaking down. we use this iceberg as a kind of canvas and put a map of europe on top of it and then superimpose greenland. and you can see what a colossal land mass it is. and then if we put the ice cap on top of that will as vast, it's more than a 1000 kilometers from east to west and more than 2000 kilometers from north to south. it i

s. military installations in greenland. and now there are even plans to turn this rusting legacy of the pass into a tourist attraction, a contrast to the regular guide, but greenland, to say the least. so we've come here to the south to find out more about the science behind the arctic. mal, profess, we're heading for iglesia, and andrea here is ask every she knows these roses very well. where are we heading and what are we hoping to see? where to rental collateral iglesia, an essay. we adeline that right? the she egg, calvin, a new ice van. but this is really active this year, so on the way we can already see here at the end of some of the sea ice, the winter sea ice beginning to form a thin layer on the surface, the fuel. but it shouldn't stop us today. it, we went to play to the movie in between the eyes. it'll only be all tick is booming, twice as fast as the rest of the planet, which means the c doesn't freeze as much as it used to, unless the ice means more sunlight is absorbed into the ocean. warmer ocean melt, the g

but many greenland is not happy. ah, a statue of leaf ericsson, the viking, who said to discovered america 400 years before columbus gazes out overseen. that might surprise you when you think agreement, this is probably not what comes to mind. but the end of summer and the sheep have been rounded up for mocking. farming is part of the way of life in the south, almost as much as hunting is elsewhere. but these lands also hold new possibilities . i headed up a mountain valley near the town of nasa. the rocks here hold some of the world's richest deposits of rare f minerals. this is the sides of an old uranium mine. it's long been decommissioned. but now international mining companies want to dig deep again. the rock we see all around the same was for 3 or 4 kilometers beneath the earth's crust. and then about a 1000000000 years ago, these mountains just rid up. and they reckoned that within this area alone, there are one and a half 1000000 tons of rare with minerals, with another $26000000.00 tons at a site nearby. and

greenlanders. they have to have still true for independence by for example exploiting rare earths. issues the whole debate on the arctic goes about. because that was interest clearly is the chinese people have been in greenland was also attractive to use president donald trump you remember who wanted to buy greenland because of her errors and because it was due to strategic importance of greenland clearly there are very many aspects. one really interesting thing about this story about the future of thinking is that it brings together military issues geopolitical issues. economic issues environmental issues i know you're a person of ideas can you somehow weave that all together to sort of explain how there was the independence of those factors well this is a tough question but i would say what's going on now with the race for resources in the arctic and economic benefits is very much a kind of 20th century thing and we're now in the 21st century we're in a climate crisis which threatens civilization

the south shore of greenland the south and southwestern shore of greenland. these vikings settlements. are going to be in greenland. for almost 500 years. think about that for a minute. wait, what year? around 900 to 1,000. okay. so we're talking about a very long period of time they are here in greenland 500 years before. before columbus before they're here 500 years before columbus. it's really a remarkable story. yeah. well, that's a great question what happened? because we know they weren't there by by the time 1500. they're abouts we know that there are no vikings settlements in greenland. again, the evidence is on certain it would seem that a couple things happen madeline one is perhaps the climate change it got colder. we know that from from evidence from climate evidence from climate history that in they have the little ice age as it's called so it probably did get colder in greenland which of course would impact a domestic animals agriculture etc. they may have been marauded attacked by pirates and others there are lots of people who begin in the 14

this is greenland's ice sheet. it makes up something like 85% of the whole of greenland. where we're standing, the ice is something like 60 meters thick. in some places it's as thick as two miles. our destination, the russell glacier. one of the most studied places on the planet when it comes to climate change. these stunning lakes, a harbinger of the retreating ice sheet. this green scientist is my guide for the expedition. why is greenland so important when it comes to understanding climate change, and why does it affect people at home? >> now, half of the rate of the sea level rise comes from the melting to have greenland ice sheet. it is an average of one kilometer thick of ice. and that is melting at a very rapid rate. just in one year, the amount of fresh water released by the greenland ice sheet is enough to cover the whole of england with two meters of water. >> or florida. >> or florida, absolutely. >> reporter: if greenland continues to melt at this pace, scientists expect tens of millions of people around the world to face more frequent flooding and displacemen

so why greenland? well blue jays own studies show the central west region of greenland is reportedly similar to russia's north oscar region. a large producer of nickel and palladium cobalt says it will spend $15000000.00 to help lou j locate natural resources. the 1st phase of the so called disco project named after the region in greenland, they'll be searching to hunt down and dig up world class battery metal deposits according to the companies. clearly it's a business venture for the billionaire boys club and an opportunity for the u. s u k. through this wealthy mining and exploration adventure to put some pressure on china and its massive mining and raw materials market. greenland has been the subject of discussion among america's political and financial lead in the past. in 2019. then president trump even floated the idea of the u. s. buying greenland because of its abundant natural resources and idea that ultimately floated away and sunk like a glacier. whether or not this brilliant r blitz turns

that begins a viking nitration -- migration to greenland. they established communities along the south shore agreement, the south and southwestern shore of greenland. these settlements are going to be in greenland for almost 500 years. think about that for a minute. around 900 to 1000, we are talking about a very long. of time. they are here in greenland 500 years before columbus. they are here 500 years before columbus. it is a remarkable story. that's a great question, what happened. by the time 50 and hundred thereabouts, -- by the time 1500, thereabouts, we know there are no more viking settlements in greenland. it would seem a couple things happen. one is perhaps the climate change. it got colder, we know that from evidence from climate history. they have the little ice age, as it is called. so probably got colder in greenland, which of course impacted domestic animals, agriculture, etc. they may have been rotted, attacked by pirates and others. there are lots of vessels sailing through there, they might've sacked some of these towns. t

the us sat around 15, military bases in greenland. many, many were left to decay and rust polluting the fragile environment. one named camp century was even built under the ice before being abandoned. but as the eye i smells, there are the fears that toxins and radioactive coolants, which were meant to stay buried forever. sh, could soon be exposed. mcclark reports now from a catholic, hidden away up a remote fjord, amid the wonder of the arctic. there's a jaw dropping sight. the remains of an old army base called blue east to that's been slowly rusting away for decades. during the cold war, american commanders ordered that military bases should be built across greenland. in fact, more than 50 were built. now any one remains in the rest, like this one was simply abandoned. amongst it all more than $200000.00 fuel drums, many were full when they were left, leaching out their toxic contents. the base was actually constructed in the 2nd world war. we continued operation into a time when the soviet union and the united states were standin

mining project that's the one you mentioned in southern greenland the greenlandic name but it's quite a suit and as you mentioned holes in men's elements but also and what is more controversial in greenland is that it also holds uranium so if you don't want to mine for elements at bideford out it's uranium and that's the country isn't controversial thing because as you know we all know what generally radium can be used for both good and bad but also that there is pressure the air and local concern is how much will include what effects will they have on their butts the local and national environment so the greenlandic morris has given a very clear answer regarding this particular project and really and have. a look at engine mining projects we don't have no large scale mines that only small scale mines. response times but they're all in minnesota national. so they're expensive regarding this one where it came out in favor of the ok. well the one of the election closes the door to this particular project it may have been the us because the same with these rare earth minerals i mean they
