Glacial blue ice from the Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) Ice Sheet will be transformed into a reverential sculpture, a reliquary, traveling the world as a frozen ambassador, representing the interests of the Arctic environment and the Indigenous peoples who reside there.

Karl is Greenlandic Inuit and the director of the Icefjord Centre. Photographed inside the centre main gallery space.


The icefjord is a UNESCO world heritage site. It houses samples of an actual ice core from Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) Ice Sheet that spans over 8000 feet. The ice core dates back tens of thousands of years. It shows the effects humans have had on the climate from the lead created by the Roman Empire to the massive amounts of CO₂ we have emitted in recent years. The ice core lays bare the truth of climate change. Are we ready to listen to the story the ice has to tell us?
