"Greenland - A Journey Into The Land of Ice" Presented by Barry Pell

Greenland is the world's largest island and least densely populated place on earth. With over three-quarters of the land covered by ice, the population is limited to a handful of habitable places along the coast. Barry Pell recently visited this Danish colony.  Traveling by boat, plane and helicopter (there are no roads), he photographed the stunning beauty of the ice floes, glaciers and icebergs.  In this program, he will discuss the island's history and culture, as well as how global warming is changing the landscape and affecting the lives of its people who depend on fishing and hunting for their survival.
