Greenland has received international attention of late, especially in climate science circles, because it is changing rapidly. If you want to fully understand environmental change, you have to see it for yourself – and that’s what Dean Miller and Aaron Jamieson has done.

When you’re this far north, in the Arctic circle, you are sure to see aurora borealis – the northern lights.

A tent is lit up in the dark night sky, with no other light around. Embarking on an expedition to the Arctic is like heading out to sea; once you leave the safety of home, you are on your own. Greenland – technically part of Denmark – is a vast, frozen landmass. 

Travelling by snowmobile is really the only way to get around on the Greenland icecap. In just eight weeks, Dean Miller and Aaron Jamieson travelled by land, sea and air over more than 5000km of terrain.

Greenland’s highest peaks, up to 3700m, belong to the Watkins Mountains; the ice sheet here is more than 2.5km deep.

Greenland – technically part of Denmark – is a vast, frozen landmass. More than 2 million sq.km in area, it is almost as large as WA. Despite its size, only 57,000 people call it home and far fewer live on the east coast than the west. 

Polar bear inhabit the ice sheets of the Artic. Their numbers are threatened by the melting ice sped up by climate change.

Aaron Jamieson takes some footage in Greenland. Capturing video and images was a challenge, with frigid temperatures to contend with.
