What if the Greenland ice sheet is alive? Professor in Arctic Biogeochemistry Alexandre Anesio reveals how microscopic algae darken the ice, feed on meltwater and speed up glacier melt. Through discoveries from Greenland and experiments in the Alps, he explores the hidden complexity of ice — and asks how far we are willing to go to save glaciers from disappearing
