THE ICE SHEET'S HIDDEN STORIES
In 1979 a Danish scientist found something strange in northern Greenland. In a 100-metre deep layer of sediment he found remains of trees, insects and other life forms.
Two million years ago there grew threes. On the map you can see where conifers and hardwood grew.
Make a drawing of a coniferous tree and a hardwood tree.
In Jameson Land in East Greenland scientists found remains of a dinosaur. They named it “issi saaneq” that means cold bones in Greenlandic.
The dinosaur lived 150 million years ago. East Greenland was then a part of Norway.
Imagine that you were on a trip in East Greenland and you met an issi saaneq. Is it a kind or dangerous dinosaurs?
Write, record or draw your story.
If the ice sheet disappeared, the land under it would rise several hundred metres in the middle of the island. Greenland would look like before it was covered by ice.
What is below the ice sheet?
Make a drawing of the landscape without ice.
Would there live dinosaurs again if the ice disappeared?
