Greenland

By Nicolas Billon

"Maybe the one thing we have in common is that we've no idea what the other one does for a living.”

Receding ice levels off the coast of Greenland have revealed that an area thought to be part of the mainland is actually a separate island. This discovery mirrors a growing rift between the island’s discoverer and his increasingly distant family, set adrift after a catastrophic loss.
