every year hundreds of delegates from dozens of countries gather in reykjavik for the annual arctic circle assembly. the participants include politicians scientists business exact. it's representatives of a digitas peoples and others who are interested in the future of the arctic region and how it will be affected by climate change. the organization's chairman is former iceland president for a dream so on he says it's important to bring together as many international representatives as possible to discuss policy. the problem for the arctic is mild in the arctic and it should be heavily industrialized countries in the world and without putting a lot in perspective we want a comprehensive understanding of the future of. the arctic ice has been rapidly melting now for 2 decades the process has even affected glaciers in greenland that are 100000 years old. scientists estimate that 10000 tons of arctic ice are lost every 2nd due to global warming but some say that this may turn out to be a positive development. summers are. getting longer they're led to change and. i believe. you know there are

they were saying seven minors at a tiny remote island near the arctic circle. it was a coincidence. she learned that was an area of permafrost. they have gotten sick with the flu on this. they died practically as soon as they arrived. they were buried and marked graves. she got permission and they were trying to get the minors bodies. she have to raise money. and she was raising money from the government and private industry. >> she put together an international team. and she was looking for money. one of her team members was an american. he was sort of like the lead person wanting to ask for money. >> , 20 did she need. she got several million dollars. she got money from merck, and the british. she got a bunch of money. i doesn't hurt to have some more samples. they had three samples. in his samples did it count. that's what they needed for the frozen samples. they don't quite understand what they were trying to tell her. she wanted to go ahead anyway. >> i'm not sure the timing on this. johan holton went back to alaska. he did dig into that grave again. he did get a sample. he put

she found what she thought was the body of seven minors on a tiny remote island near the arctic circle. host: how did she find them? guest: she had-- it was sort of coincidence. she learned it was an area of permafrost and she started to investigate to see if there may be bodies and she found these seven minors that journeyed off from norway to work in the winter in mind on this little island and they got sick with the flu on the boat on the way over and died almost as soon as they arrived and that they were buried in marked grades and she learned and got permission to d8 from the norwegian government to dig and try to get the minors bodies so she had to raise money and she was raising money. host: this mean-- wise.
