## Caption

#Regram #RG reuters: Reuters photographer Lucas Jackson lucas_jackson_ was perched on a cliff above Greenland’s Helheim glacier, when an explosion broke the arctic silence. More explosions followed. He ran across a muddy tundra to a video camera on a tripod overlooking the glacier and ripped off the trash bag he had used to protect it. He hit record as fast as he could focus. The popping sounds morphed into a low rumble. Over the next half hour, the ice broke apart and a four-mile wide chunk tumbled into the sea in a process called calving - one rarely witnessed on this scale. As a photographer, Jackson has captured erupting volcanoes, the aftermath of hurricanes and tornadoes, and war, but he says he has never felt so small. It was a poignant end to a months-long project examining climate change in Greenland. For both journalists and scientists, climate change is difficult to document. It most often happens imperceptibly - a tenth of a degree increase in temperature, a few less inches of rain, a slowly melting ice sheet. That’s why it was so overwhelming to watch billions of tons of ice collapse at all once, Jackson said. Suddenly it didn’t feel like a small or distant problem.
