But what's important in this picture is that you have a piece of multi year ice, that big chunk of ice up in the corner.

There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser.

We're now at the Columbia Glacier in Alaska.

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

This is not a little cliff. This is like a major office building in an urban center.

Is there any other big chunk of ice anywhere near there?

And how does that happen?

This is not on the edge of greenland, this is in the middle of the ice mass.

To give you a little bit of a sense of scale, that calving face in this picture is about 325 feet tall.

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.

Gold

Ever since 2063, we simply drop a giant ice cube into the ocean every now and then.

Ice and Glaciers

If you look in the middle background, you can see the calving face bobbing up and down like a yo yo.

Platinum, silver, and some bullion.

One of the magical things about this journey, however, is that because I'm walking over the sea, over this floating, drifting, shifting crust of ice that's floating on top of the Arctic Ocean is it's an environment that's in a constant state of flux.

For all their travelling, many people think that these slabs of ice are barren of life, but these seemingly sterile ice slabs also harbor their own complex ecosystems and they shape the ecosystems that they pass through.

Decorative Ice

Ice

It's another ball of wax.

This lump over here is Kincaid.

Or if you take an American reference, to the U.S. Capitol Building and you pack 3,000 Capitol Buildings into that block, it would be equivalent to how large that block was.

Iceman?

Ice.

Get me ice.

60,000 Indians on pilgrimage to the end of a dirt road that leads to the sacred valley, called the Sinakara, which is dominated by three tongues of the great glacier.

And what you see here is, you see a little bit of crude oil, you see some ice cubes, and you see two sandwich baggies of napalm.

Does that mean no, you don't want ice, or no, you want ice?

Hey, it's not about the gold, stella, okay?

Okay, you've got your gold.

How can so much ego be in one relationship?

We have some cameras on the south edge of the Ilulissat, watching the calving face as it goes through this dramatic retreat.

Let's take ice because ice is easier to move

it's hitokoro .

You notice that each tray holds the exact same amount of water, but has a different number of ice cubes that it makes.

But imagine we're looking at an ice skating rink from above.

Ice 2.0.

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

This is highly thrombogenic material. Thrombogenic, very fancy word.

So this gigabyte or terabyte of data, we're putting it into this block.

In fact, the greatest wealth.

You see in the upper left corner? You see a single predatory mite.

What a piece of junk!

He's a villain.

There's a lot of gold in there.
