Ana Botín , president of Banco Santander, will star in one of the new installments for the next season of the Planeta Calleja program in Cuatro, after accompanying Jesús Calleja on an intense adventure in southern Greenland, as Mediaset has advanced in a press release.

The president of Banco Santander and Jesús Calleja have sailed to the Qaleraliq glacier and completed a trek to one of the oldest ice masses on the planet to spot the Greenlandic polar cap and verify the effects of global warming in the area . The adventure will be seen soon in the new season of Planeta Calleja on a date that has not yet finalized the chain.

As Mediaset points out, in this crossing over the glacier, with crampons, dodging cracks over one of the oldest frozen masses on the planet, "Ana Botín and Jesús Calleja have been able to contemplate the Inlandsis or Greenlandic polar cap, which covers about 80% of its territory, and verify how it has seen its thickness reduced in recent years. "

In addition, Calleja and Botín have visited some of the most emblematic places on the island, such as Qassiarsuk, where Norwegian merchant and explorer Erik Thorvaldsson , known as Erik the Red , founded the first Viking settlement in Greenland. They have also lived together with a Greenlandic cattle family, to experience their way of life and learn about the changes that the climate has undergone in the area. To see the thaw more closely, they have traveled the fjords by kayak, drawing icebergs.

The expedition has collaborated with Greenland Tree Project , an initiative led by Jason Box, one of the most important climatologists in the world, which aims to plant trees on the island to try to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions. With him, they have talked about global warming and its possible solutions.
