Leave the hotel. Get on the plane again. Plane gets diverted again to this place called Asiat. So we're now here at the Asiat Airport in Greenland. On our way, we're attempting again for the third time to fly to Ilulissat. We're going to see if we're going to make it.

And finally, after about two hours of sitting there and wondering what's going to happen, this announcement comes over the loudspeaker. It is in either Greenlandic or Danish languages. I do not speak. I didn't have to understand those languages to know what was happening because everybody started cheering. And we actually made it four days later.

I don't know if you can hear the crowd got pretty excited.

I mean, it's one of the most stunning places I've ever visited. It's this sort of scenic, beautiful tourist town. It's a place where lots of people go to set out and see the icebergs to take boat tours. All of the houses are super colored. There's beautiful snowscapes. And I think the thing that sticks with me is the fact that you can just hear the sled dogs howling all the time.

Like even before you see them, you can hear them. And then when you see them, they're also pretty darn cute.

So we did this story, and this is something I wouldn't have thought about before we started researching this trip, about the intersection of dog sledding and climate change. So we actually got to go out with this woman who's a dog sled musher named Stella. And when she took us out, she kind of warned us, you know, we don't have a lot of snow right now. It's actually pretty hot here.

And when we don't have as much snow, it's harder for the dogs to pull. I think we've righted things. They're picking up speed again. And we're kind of looking out in front of us and you can see some snow. But there's like also these stretches of just sort of rough terrain. There are rocks and moss. We just went across a pretty big rock. It's kind of brown looking.

So we're seeing this in real time. And that is definitely the case when we took off on this dog sled. Like it just, there wasn't enough snow in some stretches, which meant that we were getting off the dog sled at times and running alongside of it.
