(chuckles) ... let’s not — let’s not jump the gun, this is a secure facility. Can I have the documentation they gave you when you left? (she hands him an envelope) Thank you. You haven’t opened this? MARIANNE No. Why am I carrying papers around? U.S. OFFICER It’s just procedure. We can’t rely on electronic data here. There’s too much scope for... well, you know how it is.

RORY Petra, hi. I know I said I’d get back to you about the settlement, but — PETRA It’s not about that. Is this line secure? RORY (thrown) What? PETRA Your phone, Rory. Is it secure? Could anyone have cloned it, be monitoring you? RORY (still thrown) Like who? PETRA I don’t know, Homeland Security’s real-life version of Carrie fucking Matheson maybe — whoever’s interested in whatever you’re up to. Still up to, I should say. RORY I don’t know what you’re talking — PETRA No, listen. Listen. Regarding 702. I’ve come across some info that might be of interest to you. RORY Hang on — what happened to, “Back off, Rory, or we’ll destroy your career?” PETRA Call it my contingency plan. If you are onto something and it gets out, you’d better remember who helped you out on this. Deal? Rory SIGHS. RORY Deal. PASSENGER LIST 2.07 7. PETRA Good. Now run some water or put some music on to mask what I’m saying, just in case you’re being monitored. RORY Does — does that actually work? PETRA Just do it.

But I — there’s something you need to know. (beat) Since we parted company, I’ve been thinking about Marianne and the recording she sent you, and digging around a bit on my own. And... Greenland, I think the plane’s in Greenland. Kaitlin grabs the phone. KAITLIN Rory? RORY Hi, Kaitlin. How have you been? KAITLIN They’ve been saying the wreckage is off the coast of Greenland for weeks. What makes this different? RORY Look, um, one of my contacts — um, someone from — well, never mind, it’s — it’s not important. (MORE) PASSENGER LIST 2.07 8. RORY (CONT'D) They heard about a lawsuit over in Greenland that’s being handled by a colleague of ours. The day 702 went missing, someone was hit by a piece of flying debris. This person said they saw an airplane flying low — too low. KAITLIN A passenger plane? RORY Yes. And then a piece of metal shattered their windshield. (beat) They think it crashed, Kaitlin. They heard an explosion — what they think was an explosion — a loud boom. KAITLIN OK, I need a location. Greenland’s a big country. RORY That’s all they had, I’m afraid. KAITLIN OK, thanks. RORY Look, Kaitlin. Can we...? KAITLIN No. RORY OK, I get that. You don’t trust me. I get it. But I’m reaching out an olive branch. (beat) You should call Jim Dennison. I got him out.

Please try again later. BEEP. Kaitlin presses numbers on the keypad of her phone. We hear a sound — something like a satellite phone trying to make a connection with an old modem. KAITLIN Thomas, it’s me. I know that you’re still hiding, but you need to call me back. Everything’s starting to click together and I need — Conor needs your help. I have to get to Greenland, but Homeland Security is still looking for me. Hell, everyone is looking for me and I — (beat) I’m going. I want you to come with me, but with your help or not... I’m finding a way. She hangs up. 7.6 INT. CAFE 7.6 AUDIO SOURCE: Kaitlin’s phone. A cozy cafe in New York. JIM DENNISON, weary and rattled, is tucked into a corner table.

  • Greenland 2019 West Greenland
    Greenland 2019 West Greenland Hunting in Greenland is the world’s largest island. Having a surface of 2.18 million, km² and only Greenland about 59,000 inhabitants it is one of the least densely populated regions in the world. The capital city is Nuuk, which has not more than 12,000 inhabitants. A large part of the country is always covered with ice, which can reach a thickness of 3,500m. About one sixth of the island is ice-free. Away from the coasts, the inland is dominated by inhospitable ice and cold deserts. Arctic climate prevails with maximum temperatures from 20 °C in the south to -5 °C in the north. In winter, lowest temperatures are around -50 °C. Hunting We are hunting in different areas winter and autumn, and in two different areas in autumn. areas: In winter, we hunt in a big area outside the concessions, its south of Kangerlussuaq, and is about 350.000 acres. Transport is easy with snowmobiles, so we can easily get around in the area. In autumn we have two concession areas (other outfitters cannot hunt there, but local hunters can go meat hunt in the areas). Both areas is unique, since area 9 is partially in the Inuit hunting World Heritage Site, and all of area 11 is in the World Heritage Site. Only our company and one other outfitter can offer hunts in this unique area where the Inuit started hunting 4000 thousand years ago, and where their old settlements and stone installation for driven hunts is still there.

  • OMG GLISTIN-A 2019 Campaign Field Report
    Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) GLISTIN-A 2019 Campaign Field Report Global sea level rise will be one of the major environmental challenges of the 21st Century. Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) will pave the way for improved estimates of sea level rise by addressing the question: To what extent are the oceans melting Greenland’s ice from below? Over a five-year campaign, OMG will observe changing water temperatures on the continental shelf surrounding Greenland, and how marine glaciers react to the presence of warm, salty Atlantic Water. The complicated geometry of the sea floor steers currents on the shelf and often determines whether Atlantic Water can reach into the long narrow fjords and interact with the coastal glaciers. Because knowledge of these pathways is a critical component of modeling the interaction between the oceans and ice sheet, OMG will facilitate improved measurements of the shape and depth of the sea floor in key regions as well. The surveys of Greenland’s ice sheet were conducted with the GLacier and Ice Surface Topography INterferometer (GLISTIN-A), which aims to produce high spatial resolution (25 m), high-precision (< 50 cm) height maps of Greenland’s coastal glaciers, at 10 to12-km wide swaths using Ka-Band (8.4 mm wavelength) single-pass interferometry. By measuring ice surface elevation changes over several years, volume changes of marine terminating glaciers can be inferred. The GLISTIN-A radar is mounted in a pod under a Gulfstream III airplane. Operating at Ka-Band enhances interferometric accuracy, reduces penetration into the top layers of snow and firn and limits signal attenuation in the atmosphere.

At the local level the lives of ingenious people, who have inhabited the Arctic of thousands of years are experiencing increasing opportunities for unlocking the vast economic po- tential through natural resources, shipping and tourism but at the same time face major challenges to their traditional livelihoods and cultures. At the regional level, the Arctic states and other international actors are increasingly engaging in the region making it both a venue for cooperation and competition over economic and security interests. The dynamics at both of these levels are unfolding at the backdrop of major global devel- opments, where climate change is having a particularly strong impact on the vulnerable region. While the global temperature increase is allowing the Arctic new economic op- portunities through new Sea ways, tourism and access to resources, climate changes are both impacting the melting of permafrost and ice caps as well as being increased through feedback loops in the Arctic.

A list of past focus regions published in recent years can be downloaded from the Bonus section in the subscriber pages of our website. Focus Region: North Atlantic GREENLAND (Denmark) The Finance Committee of the Danish parliament has approved a deal under which the Danish State will buy shares for DKK 700 million in Kalaallit Airports International A/S, the local airport operator, for the construction of two new international airports in Nuuk and Ilulissat, and a regional airport in Qaqortoq on the southern tip of the island. The existing runways in the west of Greenland will be extended from 950 m to 2,220 m in Nuuk and from 845 m to 2,200 m in Ilulissat. The extension means that the airports will be able to take larger aircraft such as the Airbus A330 with up to 300 passengers. At all three airports, it will be necessary to blast away rocks to make space for the construction work. The rubble will be re-used as filler and surfacing material for the runways.
