Buried deep under the Greenland ice sheet is a unique archive of life on Earth 40,000 years ago. Scientists are using this information to try to predict future changes to the planet
The East Greenland Ice Core Project(EastGrip) is an international science camp sited on the Greenland ice sheet, about 2,700 metres above sea level. EastGrip is run by Professors Jørgen Peder Steffensen and Dorthe Dahl-Jensen. Their task is to drill, retrieve and analyse ice cores that reach down to the bedrock.
