Reaching a larger audience
Greenland is a country with many distinctions. It's the largest island on earth. It has the largest glacier in the northern hemisphere. Since 70 percent of Greenlanders smoke, they have the fastest growing rate of lung cancer in the world. It's home to almost mythical animals, like the single-horned narwhale, albino-like beluga whales and bedraggled musk ox. It has one of the best telecom systems on earth.
Amid all the debate over climate change, one thing is incontrovertible. The Arctic is melting.
Fast.
According to the international Panel on Climate Change, warming is occurring at the poles ten times faster than it is in temperature regions.
