It's the cirrus cloud, named after the Latin for a lock of hair.

Ice and Glaciers

I'll just run them very quickly through.

Patterns of freeze up and breakup influence the distribution and number of seals, the polar bear's main prey.

Iceman?

Ice.

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

Let's take ice because ice is easier to move

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.

The temperature was not increasing.

The blue tray makes 8 equally sized ice cubes.

I remember March the 15th, 2000.

like Victoria, the Great Lakes, and Baikal.

Drangajökull Glacier

Well, it turns into a liquid.

So if you have a ton of and maybe the rock is a bad analogy

Emoto Masaru believes that within ice crystals you can read a message to mankind.

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

Except for the fact that there are unbalanced forces acting on them to stop them

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.

And how do icebergs get that blue color anyways?

9 million pounds of ice were harvested in 1900.

That's about a 15 foot boat.

Yes, oh, and some more ice too. Thank you. You here all alone?

It's cold. Damn cold.

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.

And even now that you know all this, we're still at the tip of the iceberg.

This is more asteroids, but these are kind of more frozen...

Now, that does make actual sence? Well sure. To go from 3 over 8, to 6 over 16, you multiply the numerator by 2 and you multiply the denominator by two.

Well sure it does, because for the pink ice tray you have 2 ice cubes for everyone that you have in the blue ice tray.

This is near the top of the icefall.

KlMBLE No broken bones.

So we stopped the ship, as you do.

I'd like a scotch, double... with ice.

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

It's composed entirely of ice crystals cascading from the upper reaches of the troposphere, and as these ice crystals fall, they pass through different layers with different winds and they speed up and slow down, giving the cloud these brush stroked appearances, these brush stroke forms known as fall streaks.

Precise measurements by GRACE, the gravity satellite, reveal that both Greenland and Antarctica are now losing mass, several hundred cubic kilometers per year.

This is when a layer is made up of very, very cold water droplets, and in one region they start to freeze, and this freezing sets off a chain reaction which spreads outwards with the ice crystals cascading and falling down below, giving the appearance of jellyfish tendrils down below.

So this is the Russians working on the ice in the peak of the Siberian winter.

It's the tip of the iceberg.
