Subscribe to Big Think Edge for insights into critical global issues. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world, causing Greenland's ice to melt. This exposes dark ocean, which absorbs more solar energy, creating a feedback loop that accelerates further ice melt.

Journalist and historian Jon Gertner, a feature writer for the New York Times Magazine, explores this phenomenon in his latest book, "The Ice at the End of the World: An Epic Journey into Greenland's Buried Past and Our Perilous Future." Find his book here.

Greenland's vast ice sheet, covering 80% of the island and two miles thick, serves as the world's largest natural laboratory. By studying minerals and gases trapped in ice cores, glaciologists unravel ancient mysteries—like past temperatures or the disappearance of the Norse—and gain critical insights into the future of climate change.

Journalist Jon Gertner explores this topic in his book, "The Ice at the End of the World." Purchase it here: https://amzn.to/2RtLtwY

"Two American Families: 1991-2024" is a FRONTLINE documentary chronicling the economic struggles of two Milwaukee families—one Black, one white—over 34 years. It intimately follows the Stanleys and Neumanns as they battle to avoid poverty amidst the changing American economy, from the rise of lower-wage work to current inflation. Despite continuous challenges across six presidential administrations, both families and their now-grown children demonstrate remarkable resilience.
