Melting ice caps, rising sea levels and extreme weather patterns aren't the only potential consequences of climate change.

It's still heavy now, and it was heavy before that, but when you flipped open a newspaper, when you turned on the TV, it was about ice caps melting, wars going on around the world, earthquakes, hurricanes and an economy that was wobbling on the brink of collapse, and then eventually did collapse, and so many of us losing our homes, or our jobs, or our retirements, or our livelihoods.

The smallest icebergs are called growlers.

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

There are six official size classifications for icebergs.

Lately I've been watching the snow clouds over those mountains.

He claims they are drowning as their icy habitat disappears.

There are all sorts of things we don't know about icebergs.

Sources differ on whether two men died on the ice floe and three in the boats, or three on the ice floe and two in the boats.

So just how big is a very large iceberg?

And how do icebergs get that blue color anyways?

There's still icebergs in the water and snow on the ground.

Oceans come and go. Mountains come and go. Glaciers come and go.

Some icebergs are so unstable that they have more dramatic ends, heaving up, collapsing, and sometimes even exploding.

And as they fall apart, many icebergs make all sorts of strange sounds.

Snow petrels nest on the icebergs and feed on the sea life nearby.

Melting glaciers in the Himalayas could potentially lead to water shortages for hundreds of millions of people.

Even in the coldest seas, icebergs are always melting, at least a little bit.

And while you're flying you get to see the Transantarctic Mountains, beautiful, beautiful glaciers.

Rising temperatures have lengthened the freeze free season in many regions, and glaciers are melting.

You know that icebergs are mostly underwater, their immense bulk hidden beneath the water.

Antarctic icebergs are mostly trapped in the Circumpolar Current, never giving them a chance to float north.

And my urging is that when we think about environmental issues that we remember that it's not just about melting glaciers and ice caps, but it's also about our children as well.

Numerous icebergs are formed in this period and are brought, together with ice, to the Atlantic Ocean near Newfoundland.

In Nepal, global warming is leading to the melting of ice caps, increasing water levels, which, in turn, is threatening the ecologies of entire communities.

Global warming could lead to an increase in freshwater in the northern oceans, by melting glaciers in Greenland and by increasing precipitation, especially through Siberian rivers.

And my urging is that when we think about environmental issues that we remember that it's not just about melting glaciers and ice caps, but it's also about our children as well.

Of rest of the municipality or 49.9 is settled (buildings or roads), or 1.3 is either rivers or lakes and or 0.9 is unproductive land.

The bay is not navigable most of the year because of the ice cover and high density of floating ice and icebergs in the open areas.

You need a melt probe.

Ice and Glaciers

Avalanche? Avalanche, Boris. Avalanche.

The northern region of the country consists of an arc of Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows reaching up to glaciated mountain peaks with an extremely cold climate at the highest elevations.

Even if the Arctic Ocean becomes ice free in the summer, most of the year it is not, and icebergs from melting glaciers will become more common and possibly larger.

Snowstorm rising.

Already, there was concern about the depletion of the ozone layer, while the greenhouse effect might cause temperatures throughout the world to rise, melting glaciers and putting coastal areas at risk.

These higher temperatures could cause the extinction of numerous plants and animals, melting of polar ice caps, and a greater frequency of extreme weather events, such as severe storms, floods, and droughts.

9. The most important among the global change effects in the polar regions are the ozone hole over Antarctica and the quot greenhouse effect quot , which might result in sea ice and ice sheet melting and, consequently a global sealevel rise. Ibid., p. 2.

The various rivers and streams in the area were engorged by increased precipitation and with melt water from mountain glaciers on the Henry Mountains to the east and the Aquarius Plateau to the west of the park.

We have reason to be afraid of melting ice caps.

Lewis Pugh talks about his record breaking swim across the North Pole. He braved the icy waters to highlight the melting icecap. Watch for astonishing footage and some blunt commentary on the realities of supercold water swims.

The more recent report of a fuel leak of some 20,000 gallons of gas oil could pose a danger to Antarctica apos s animal life and to the food chain if the oil slick from that leak drains into the sea when the meltdown of ice mass occurs in the warmer months.

Recurrent ice ages during the Pleistocene have changed sea levels within a vertical range of some 200 meters.

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

33. Despite all available measurements of snow accumulation, ice velocities, basal melting and iceberg discharge, the report of SCAR indicates that it is still not known for certain whether the ice sheet is growing or shrinking, although the best estimates suggest a slow growth.
