Skiing Greenland for Science

Most parties who cross the Greenland ice sheet come for adventure. Dr. Adrian McCallum's team of five, strangers from five countries, comes for data. Hauling 220-pound sleds for a month and pitching camp every night, they drag ground-penetrating radar across nearly 370 miles and measure winter snow, tracking how quickly it compacts into ice and what that could mean for sea level rise.
