Into the Ice

SYNOPSIS

The ice at the poles is melting, which will result in enormous rises in sea level and have major consequences for the world. But how fast will it really go?
In the Greenland ice sheet we can see our future. The film travels with three pioneering glaciologist on their expeditions INTO the inland ice of Greenland. Top-notch science meets breathtaking visuals when one of them descends into a 200 meter deep moulin hole to find out about the bottom of the ice sheet. What they find may sound the alarm for our planet's climate and is a clear call to act now.
