Greenland - a remote arctic island and a place of history - climate and  military. With historic and modern footage it sets the stage and illustrates some of the themes in When The Ice is Gone (WW Norton, 2024).

Plant parts, insect eyes, and soil fungi found under two miles of ice in the center of Greenland are unequivocal evidence that Greenland's ice sheet vanished within the last million years.

Long-lost Camp Century ice core provides direct evidence that giant ice sheet melted off within the last million years and is highly vulnerable to a warming climate, PNAS study shows.

UVM scientists and their colleagues examined a long-lost core drilled from the Greenland ice sheet in the 1960s. In the 12-foot soil sample at the bottom of the core they've found evidence that large parts of Greenland were ice-free about 400,000 years ago -- far more recently than previously thought.

Sediment collected in 1966 from beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that a mile of ice vanished from northwest Greenland 400,000 years ago.
