Greenland is an island covered in a sheet of ice that is over 3km thick in places, containing 7.4 metres of average global sea level rise.

Due to climate change, it’s melting at an astonishing rate.

We meet some of the people being forced to rapidly adapt their traditional ways of life. And find out why ice loss means sea level rises for elsewhere in the world – but the opposite for the island itself

Greenland used to have people living and farming there! Things change...we entered a little ice age and they left or died there...no longer able to farm or have animals graze there.
