The Shape I'm In: RTÉ journalist Paul Cunningham

With its Crayola-coloured houses strung out along a rocky coastline, Ilulissat, a remote town on the west coast of Greenland, looks postcard perfect. But it’s much more than that. The former trading post is a gateway to the UNESCO-protected Ilulissat Icefjord, a colossal glacier that calves the tallest icebergs in the world.

RTÉ journalist Paul Cunningham first visited Ilulissat in 2006 as environmental correspondent. His mission was to report on how the melting glaciers were changing the world’s climate. He recently returned to the area, describing it as a “ground zero for climate change”.
