Numerous glaciers are found in Norway.

We're now at the Columbia Glacier in Alaska.

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

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

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

The impact of glaciers on people includes the fields of human geography and anthropology.

This glacier has doubled its flow speed in the past 15 years.

The glacier's gone all the way up the mountain and left in its place this big lake.

Out of the 2,100 glaciers that exist in the Caucasus today, approximately 30 are located within Georgia.

With over 100,000 glaciers, Alaska has half of all in the world.

The study will enable to assess recent changes and determine the stability of glaciers.

For thousands of years, these glaciers build layer upon layer of ice, constantly compressing, moving, adding snow, compressing, and moving again as they inch along like a frozen river.

It is popularly used for water flow, especially in rivers and streams, and fractions for HVAC values measuring air flow.

You see the glacier flowing in from the right, dropping off into the sea, camera shooting every hour.

His photographs capture the flowing rivers, lush countryside, and rural livelihood of Bangladesh from the air.

Many glaciers have disappeared during the 20th century, and others are expected to disappear in the coming decades.

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.

Anyway, last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the (Laughter) and the melting of the glaciers because of climate change.

The terrain is mostly mountainous and flat, with fast flowing rivers and few forests but with many trees.

It is the force of gravity that pulls them towards the sea, where a glacier may calve off to become an iceberg or continue to spread up as an ice shelf or an ice tongue.

Anyway, last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the and the melting of the glaciers because of climate change.

Moraine or till is the most common type of soil, covered by a thin layer of humus of biological origin.

Some of the recent rise, associated with the shrinking of glaciers, is not caused by human activities, since the glaciers have been shrinking for hundreds of years while human activities became significant only in the last century.

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

Once an iceberg breaks away from the glacier or ice shelf, it will usually live for three to six years, floating around, carried by the currents and tidal movements of the ocean.

The second issue was a blatant error concerning glaciers that appeared in a major IPCC report.

Of the rest of the land, or 45.5 is settled (buildings or roads), or 0.6 is either rivers or lakes and or 0.7 is unproductive land.

Then, if we added maps like the geology, the bedrock geology, and the surface geology, what the glaciers leave, if we make the soil map, with the 17 soil classes, that are defined by the National Conservation Service, if we make a digital elevation model of the topography that tells us how high the hills were, then we can calculate the slopes.

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.

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

The region between Kazbek and Shkhara (a distance of about along the Main Caucasus Range) is dominated by numerous glaciers.

study of ice ) is the scientific study of glaciers, or more generally ice and natural phenomena that involve ice.

Heat waves, droughts, floods, forest fires, retreating glaciers, polluted rivers, and extreme storms buffet the planet at a dramatically rising rate, owing to human activities.

Moreover, the Himalayan glaciers that feed Pakistan s rivers may melt by 2050, owing to global warming.

The Amazon basin is the largest drainage basin in the world, about , and accounts for approximately one fifth of the world's total river flow.

Snow pack in the mountains is melting earlier in the season, so that river water is less available during summer growing seasons.

Situated in a very fragile mountain ecosystem, Bhutan is prone to glacial floods and other natural disasters, including earthquakes.

The glaciers that covered the northern half of the continent began to gradually melt, exposing new land for occupation around 17,500 to 14,500 years ago.

Ice and Glaciers

Avalanche? Avalanche, Boris. Avalanche.

The first concerned the environmental devastation that he could observe including the retreat of glaciers and the loss of land cover as he flew from Bhutan to India.

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.

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.

Snowstorm rising.

The smallest icebergs are called growlers.
