In the summer months the surface of the Greenland Ice Cap melts. The water runs for miles across the ice. As these melt water streams near the edge, within 10 miles or so, they find crevasses and plunge deep under the Ice Cap. The water being slightly above freezing temperature, in motion and under pressure, hollows out huge (temporary) caves under the ice. It was our job to film the exploration of these caves for MacGillivray Freeman Films and Imax Theater Films, Journey into Amazing Caves.
