@eric_cheng We landed at the edge of an epic ice wall near Ilulissat, Greenland, and I had time for exactly one short drone flight before the inbound helicopter forced me to return and land. The wall towers 100 meters above the surface of the ocean but it extends underwater another 900 meters to the bottom. Footage is sped up roughly 2x, meaning that the viewpoint is moving at 100MPH during most of the flight. #Greenland May 2025

@eric_cheng Surface water on the ice sheet in Greenland. This water makes it way down to the bottom of a glacier, lubricating the interface between the glacier and rock beneath, accelerating glacial movement into the sea.

@eric_cheng With glaciologist Jason Box, standing near surface water on the ice sheet in Greenland. This water makes it way down to the bottom of a glacier, lubricating the interface between the glacier and rock beneath, accelerating glacial movement into the sea. Jason's research is about this phenomenon.
