Subscribe to Big Think Edge for insights into critical global issues. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world, causing Greenland's ice to melt. This exposes dark ocean, which absorbs more solar energy, creating a feedback loop that accelerates further ice melt.

Journalist and historian Jon Gertner, a feature writer for the New York Times Magazine, explores this phenomenon in his latest book, "The Ice at the End of the World: An Epic Journey into Greenland's Buried Past and Our Perilous Future." Find his book here.

By studying minerals and gases trapped in ice cores, glaciologists unravel ancient mysteries—like past temperatures or the disappearance of the Norse—and gain critical insights into the future of climate change.

This film delves into themes of inclusion, identity, and hand-drawn heroes, centered on mountain biker, skier, and artist Brooklyn Bell. Unable to find a hero, Bell created Ruby J, a comic character who became her powerful role model.
