Ice and Glaciers

Avalanche? Avalanche, Boris. Avalanche.

Snowstorm rising.

The smallest icebergs are called growlers.

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.

ISRERS 1 is an international cooperation programme of glaciologists, who plan a wide range of studies of the marginal ice sheet and surface temperatures.

This is an area of classical glaciokarstic landscape, with numerous glacial trough valleys and cirques, with ridges and peaks between them.

Ice streams are a type of glacier.

There are six official size classifications for icebergs.

It's just white and glaciers. Take photographs.

One of my favorite glaciers, the Sólheimajökull.

Most importantly, these cylinders and this snow trap air.

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

She's often at the ice skating rink.

Numerous glaciers are found in Norway.

The Northern Hemisphere had massive growing ice sheets.

We carried on sailing through the ice packs towards the North Pole.

Some very unusual weather conditions, very difficult ice conditions.

We're now at the Columbia Glacier in Alaska.

These great ice islands break off and now watch this.

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

And just like the polar bears, these animals depend on an icy environment.

So they're with us all around.

The smaller the ice mass, the faster it responds to climate.

Never known pack ice come that far south before, sir.

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.

(b) To determine the values of the mass balance components, calculate the net mass balance of the ice sheet and determine how that net balance is distributed between the grounded and floating portions of the ice sheet

But they're forcing themselves to come up in these tiny little ice holes where they can breathe, catch a breath, because right under that ice are all the swarms of cod.

And so glaciers are these magnificent beings, and there's lots of reasons to be obsessed with them, but what I'm particularly interested in is in human glacier relations.

The project's floe edge information service provides information to northern communities about the location and limits of land fast ice or floe edges.

They became marine. We now know them today from the ice caps.

Here are some thing you might not know about the icy islands.

So just how big is a very large iceberg?

And how do icebergs get that blue color anyways?

And what they found, by doing research into the permafrost, was this bacteria.

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

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

This is pitched on a glacier at 17,500 feet.

And just like that, the iceberg shows you a different side of its personality.

These could provide a better explanation of the ice ages than the Milankovitch cycles.
