Red box indicates location of the camp. The researchers are studying the complex movements of Greenland glaciers, which are sliding faster toward the ocean, moving massive quantities of ice from the cold, high altitudes of the ice sheet’s interior to the sea. The increase in glacial meltwater is raising the global sea level and causing other environmental changes.
