We lost four men on the last expedition...

Guess I'll post this again:

I put this in the cross post, bit figure it belongs here, too:

While ridiculous, there's interesting context here.

• Greenland has little to no economy
• The ice is mined from ice that has already broken away from the glacier, thus not reducing any more than nature has already
• Cargo ships bringing frozen food used to leave empty, now that same fuel is used to transport ice back instead of going to waste
• The founder has always dreamed of a sustainable economy for Greenland
• He is conflicted about how his work to do this in a sustainable way is being taken

Lots of gray here.

The whole conversation, including how the ships are already there, details on economy, etc, are in this thread: https://lemmy.world/comment/6556590
