TASKS ABOUT RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

This is a picture of a campsite on the ice sheet. Many are doing ice research and the ice has a lot to tell about the past.

Without ice research we would not know as much about the climate as we do.

  • Who was Hinrich Rink?

  • In the 1830s an important invention was made – what was that and what was it used for?

  • What can research in ice cores contribute with?

When archeologists began to examine the permafrosted ground they found many remains from past cultures.

In the 1980s, the discovery of DNA material in hair found in the permafrost made it possible to recreate almost complete information from the genome.

  • What does it mean that the ground is permafrosted?
  • What is Sermermiut and Qajaa?
  • What was found at Sermermiut and Qajaa?
