The video documents a flight over Greenland's glaciers as part of Operation Icebridge, a mission to study polar ice. Teachers from Greenland, Denmark, and the US participated, gaining firsthand experience to enhance their teaching. They observed the Arctic's vast, barren landscape and the challenges of flying in such conditions. The professionalism of the pilots and scientists was highlighted, and the teachers explored the Russell Glacier. The experience enriched their understanding of glaciation, which they plan to incorporate into their teaching.
