Summary
In the brutal Arctic cold, a daring crew is literally refreezing the ice using a system called Real Ice — pumping water from beneath the ice to the surface where it instantly freezes, thickening the ice cover. Born in 2021 from a Dublin inventor and university grads, the project isn’t just about climate change — it’s about preserving Inuit livelihoods, blending cutting-edge tech with indigenous knowledge so communities can run the machines themselves. Foxes chew on gear? They’ve resorted to chicken wrap. Next up: underwater drones to automate ice-thickening from below. No saviors here — just hopeful innovators aiming to make a real difference, one frozen drop at a time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
