Treading gently: The scientists who leave little trace at the world's northernmost lab
Scientists in the high Arctic are lifting their labs into the air to avoid damage from melting permafrost.
"In daily life I meet people who ask me if the Arctic is actually changing," says Iain Rudkin, Arctic Operations Manager for the British Antarctic Survey.
"I wish they could see how much it's lost so quickly."

The idea of renaming "Greenland" to "Red, White and Blueland" must have come from our 2020 Science paper where we (Ben Smith and 14 others) used NASA's ICESat and ICESat-2 laser altimetry to show how much the ice sheet surface went up or down in 16 years.
