Secrets of the Ice - Part 3

On top of the Greenland ice sheet a group of icecore-scientists are starting a project of drilling a 2.5 km long ice core out of the ice sheet. The ice sheet on Greenland holds a unique archive over the climatic conditions on our planet. The archive reaches back more than hundred thousand years.

We follow the scientists on their way to the drilling site for the NEEM-project. And we see how they build the camp.
