Moulins: Down the Arctic Drain

Four scientists spend twenty-five days camped on the Greenland Ice Shelf in order to study the flow of melt water into "moulins" - cracks in the ice that send water all the way to the bottom of the glacier. Science is a detailed and demanding process, especially when equipment, temperature, and weather don't go as planned!
