Rubber Ducks Used In Greenland Ice Melting Experiment

Rocket scientist, Alberto Behar, recently released 90 rubber bathtub ducks into Greenland's Jakobshavn glacier in an attempt to track their movement toward Baffin Bay. Since the water that travels below the glacier acts as a lubricant to help move the ice toward the ocean, much can be learned from the rubber duck experiment that wouldn't be possible by simply studying the surface. For the time being, the researcher will sit back and wait for any email responses from anyone lucky enough to stumble upon one of the ducks. Learn more by reading the article in USA Today.
