The ASIAA is leading an effort to deploy the 12m ALMA-NA prototype telescope to the Summit of Greenland.

We have been retrofitting this telescope for operations at polar conditions, and we will ship the telescope to Thule in Greenland in 2016. The scientific target is to image the shadow of the supermassive black hole in the nucleus of the M87 galaxy. Although at a distance of 18Mpc, the M87 SMBH is almost as large in apparent size as the SgrA* SMBH in the Milky Way. The shadow is expected to be on the order of 40 micro arsec. By using the GLT as the northern station of a VLBI experiment which will include ALMA, the SMA, and the JCMT, we aim to achieve 20 micro arsec resolution at 350GHz. The GLT will be the first astronomical observatory in the Arctic region. In this talk, we will report on the current

status of this project.
