		<description><![CDATA[We are finally back from Greenland, bringing to a close the data collection piece of the spring 2010 Ice Bridge campaign. During my month-long piece in this campaign our time was split between two West Greenland base -camps, Kangerlussuaq and Thule (also known as Qaanaaq). Thule, at the northern end of Greenland, is the farthest [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/06/18/reflections/">...</a>]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jacobshavn Isbrae is one of the fastest moving and most productive glaciers in the world. Scientists estimate that close to the snout (front) its movement has accelerated in recent years from 20 to 40 meters a day. At the same time that the front has accelerated the glacier  has been rapidly retreating through &#8216;calving&#8217; (large sections breaking [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/05/19/the-shrinking-face-of-jacobshavn-isbrae-glacier/">...</a>]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having seen the Russell glacier from the air (May 13, 2010 blog post), several of us decided to travel the 35 miles by land from our Kangerlussuaq station with a local guide named Adam. Adam is from Southern Greenland and fills us in on local information. He notes in that area it is illegal to [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/05/17/%e2%80%9cthe-glacier-whispers-to-me%e2%80%9d/">...</a>]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nature is keeping us in check at every turn. With weather and volcanic ash clouds limiting visibility we have to regularly rearrange plans, but most days we are able to capture a fairly complete set of data. The flight over Russell Glacier in Southwest Greenland (just inland from Kanger) was a redirect from a mission [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/05/13/what-can-we-learn-from-land-terminating-glaciers/">...</a>]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s flight had to be carefully planned in order to avoid the volcanic ash plume still drifting  from  Iceland, so we flew to the east coast of Greenland to survey the Helheim glacier first. Glaciologists refer to Helheim glacier as one of ‘The big three’ in Greenland. The ‘big three’ (Helheim, Jakobshavn/Ilulissat and Kangerdlussuaq) are among [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/05/10/greenlands-big-three-glaciers/">...</a>]]]></description>
