more people have been to the moon and
some of the places that I’ve been to I’m
here to collect samples of PAL sites
that were deposited in caves over
thousands and thousands of years no one
has constructed a cave base climate
record for Greenland before and I think
that’s just because caves containing
pass sight they’re so remote three days
we’re still walking the rocks are so
loose it’s like surfing on marbles one
of the best things about fieldwork is
that there’s always surprises look right
at the back of the cave in the ice and
this is what we see in most of the caves
but this one’s got quite an interesting
behind because we found the remnants of
a dead bird the bird is not modern it’s
definitely old the different layers of
calcite are like tree rings or different
layers in ice cores and I can use the
different layers to construct a record
of climate change for this region I
really like the remoteness of caves
I like the journey that you go on and
even when you’ve been in a cave before
you still see new things every time you
go in there so we’ve got enough sample
the best part of my job is that I get to
go and see these absolutely amazing
places and produce something that is
hopefully valuable to all of us in the
future you know that maybe we should
take some more from pollen analysis
approximately 2,000 beluga whales come
here every summer to hold their skin
socialize raise their young and it’s
just a big balloon the party
