Ice and Glaciers

Drangajökull Glacier

Here's a mother and her two year old cub were traveling on a ship a hundred miles offshore in the middle of nowhere, and they're riding on this big piece of glacier ice, which is great for them they're safe at this point.

And how do icebergs get that blue color anyways?

I'll shoot for that glacier.It's going to get rocky.

And to the right hand side of us was this great Khumbu Glacier.

But anyway, off to the world of ice.

And the same glacier today.

And so kind of thinking about scale, my most recent obsession is actually with glaciers of course.

And there's a difference between floating ice and Iandbased ice.

The one glacier up in Greenland that puts more ice into the global ocean than all the other glaciers in the northern hemisphere combined is the Ilulissat Glacier.

But this understates the seriousness of this particular problem because it doesn't show the thickness of the ice.

And so I actually live in Canada now, so I've been visiting one of my local glaciers.

A fish out of water.

They're going to get to land.

This lake has been formed in the last couple of years because of the melting of the glacier.

This is an aerial picture we did this year.

Late glacial period, I assume.

Here's Lonnie with a last sIiver of one of the once mighty glaciers.

This is a view of base camp.

This is what one of our cameras saw over the course of a few months.

So, here's another time lapse shot of Columbia.

At the end of the Iast ice age, as the Iast glacier was receding from North America, the ice melted and a giant pool of fresh water formed in North America.

They actually have these buses that drive up and over the lateral moraine and drop people off on the surface of the glacier.

The glacier moves but by inches.

This is Argentina 20 years ago. Same glacier today.

Icebergs are born when they calve off of glaciers or break off of ice shelves.

The glaciers are actually leaving us.

Icecaps are melting, war in the Middle East,

As you see, it expands to the dark blue that's the annual ice in winter, and it contracts in summer.

When the floating seabased ice cracked up, it no Ionger held back the ice on the land, and the Iandbased ice then started falling into the ocean.

But, in any case, the deflation of this glacier since 1984 has been higher than the Eiffel Tower, higher than the Empire State Building.

This is floating ice, and there's Iandbased ice on the down slope of those mountains.

This is what it looks like.

Unlike sea ice or pack ice, which form when the ocean freezes, glaciers are made of fresh water.

In these images we see ice from enormous glaciers, ice sheets that are hundreds of thousands of years old breaking up into chunks, and chunk by chunk by chunk, iceberg by iceberg, turning into global sea level rise.

There is a custom made computer that tells the camera when to fire.

This is the present day era, and that's the Iast ice age.

It's an escape from our own competition, and our own dramas.

Early explorers rubbed cocaine in their eyes to kill the pain of it.

Continents.
