Episode description

What is the oldest *major* slice of rock, one that's relatively well-preserved, one that's fueled a half-century of research?

The episode's name kinda gives it away, but stay tuned as we meet the last location of Season 2: a series of rocks near Greenland's capital. Along the way, we'll meet the different groups of people who have settled on this remote island, and a geologist from the other side of the world. I'll also take a brief detour into why I unfortunately can't talk about every single ancient rock out there.

Extra Credit: Find a choir to sing in, or play some ping-pong.
