now that the ice melted, there's plenty of possible work to harvest resources

The first is because Greenland is widely believed to be hugely rich in natural resources -- including iron ore, lead, zinc, diamonds, gold, rare earth elements, uranium and oil. And much of it is currently untapped, due to the fact that, well, 80% of the country is covered by an ice sheet. But due to global warming, that ice sheet is melting rapidly -- this summer NASA scientists observed two of the largest melts in the history of Greenland -- and that erosion of the ice sheet is expected to make the mining of Greenland's natural resources more doable.
