A Glimpse into the Arctic's Grim Future | Digital Extra

The Stauning Alps, at the very edge of Greenland's ice sheet, are home to countless glaciers. It’s the frontline of a global catastrophe. Fifty years ago, much of this valley was covered by a glacier, but it’s receding rapidly. Steve and the Expedition crew see first-hand climate change's massive impact on Greenland's glaciers.
