Something in the Water follows a daring scientific expedition deep into the heart of Greenland’s melting ice sheet. A multidisciplinary team of researchers and explorers embarks on a journey across remote and perilous terrain to study supraglacial lakes, mysterious bodies of water that form on the surface of the ice sheet and can drain in a matter of hours. As they battle extreme weather, isolation, and the clock of climate change, the team gathers rare data that may help predict the future of our planet. Combining raw human adventure with cutting-edge science, the film captures both the fragility and the resilience of our planet and the people working to understand it before it’s too late.
