Two more powerful video blogs from Eric Phillips, polar explorer and survival guide aboard the Arctic Sunrise in Northern Greenland. With years of experience exploring both polar regions, Eric describes the changes he's seeing now compared to previous trips, and outlines some of the latest findings of the research team he's providing expert support for.

In this earlier video Eric describes how the scientific team aboard the Sunrise used kayaks strung with an ice-penetrating radar system to find out how seriously the Peterman glacier is being undermined by warming ocean currents.
