Dark Snow Project lands on Greenland Ice Sheet
SISIMIUT, Greenland – What started as an improbable vision months ago, struggled through a protracted and difficult fundraising process, and seemed to many a reach too far, has now touched down on the Greenland Ice sheet and begun a citizen-science effort that may help redefine how science is done and communicated to a wider public.
The Dark Snow Project team, Dr. Jason Box, Dr. Marek Stibal, Rolling Stone writer Jeff Goodall, and myself, landed on, photographed, and took samples from the Greenland Ice sheet on June 25.
