Some 3,000 miles north of Charleston, melting ice in Greenland is having a profound effect on Charleston's coastline. 

This week, we're revisiting an episode that took us behind the scenes of a special report that showed us how Greenland and Charleston are connected. We’ll hear from reporter Tony Bartelme and photographer Lauren Petracca about their trip to Greenland. You’ll learn what they saw out on Greenland's ice sheet, what they learned from speaking with locals and how they got to fly in a plane over icebergs with NASA.

Read The Greenland Connection. 

This episode originally aired Sept. 23, 2021. 

The Greenland Connection recently gained some new accolades. It’s a finalist for the Covering Climate Now Climate Journalism Awards, a finalist for the 2022 News Leader Association Awards and a finalist for an award from the Knight Science Journalism program at MIT.
