I'd have thought she'd have some sort of rope on just to walk across the glacier, but she seemed to know what she's doing. As to dropping down inside, wow! Going to the bottom of a moving ice pile is NOT my idea of safe! I've gone cave diving, but this seems like tempting fate! "This cave wasn't here last year, and it probably won't be here next year." If it's that dynamic, I wouldn't want to be in the cave when it changes. When it toggles, occupants become pancake shaped.
All the questions I had about my newfound, middle of the night and procrastination-inspired fascination with glaciers have now been answered. Great vid and shout out to r/TIL for sparking my caffeine-infused interest and letting me avoid studying a little longer
You can watch ice movements in ditches after a heavy snow then a slight warming. The packed snow turns more into ice as it slides down the sides. Then as it slides down the slanted property into the neighbors property it shrinks as it melts, refreezes, and serves as a slide for kids.
Do you think they told this woman about how glacial crevasses frequently break and cave in and how many Sherpas lose their lives every year to these catastrophes on Mount Everest? I'm pretty sure she'd have been asking for an increase in pay if she knew how frequently this kind of thing happens and how fatal it can be.
Not really, she only talked about how a glacier slides if it's in a warm summer environment. But what she doesn't mention is how glaciers move in their natural sub zero environments, because they move all year round. In addiction to melt-water sliding, glaciers will travel at temps below zero degrees Celsius due to pressure melting at the bottom of the glacier because the melting point of ice lowers under extreme pressure. Also if the glacier is greater than 120 ft thick and has no water for lubrication, then the upper mass of the glacier will move by a mechanism called deformation, which is where the bottom portion of the glacier stays stationary due to friction, but the upper portion deforms and continues to travel down elevation. Vast regions of Antarctic Ice never melts, but the glaciers will still travel great distances because of pressure melting and deformation.
Hello to you, thank you for your additional information. I looked at the film again and yes, you were right. She only talks about his moving during summer time. I already know the fact, that glacier slides also in winter or at the other times, because I live in the mountains here in Bavaria. But during the summertime, they move quite faster than when it's winter. It has also to do with the weight of the glaciers, if it's a light one, it would be moving quite slower than a big one, also it has something to do with the inclinationangle of the mountain and a few other parameters. But anyway, for peoples who want to know the basics, the film is still OK, I think. But you can correct me if I'm wrong. cheerio Toni
The information was appreciable but safely always comes first! Why she’s not wearing helmet? & she was walking on the glacier without rope up? I was wondering who was the technical team behind the scene?
You know they had an expert go in first, though, and a cameraman was also at the bottom as she abseiled down. Still terrifying, but the BBC doesn't take risks.
'meltwwater can gather in it, and start hollowing its way down towards the bedrock'. Did anyone else with a geeky brain think 'MINECRAFT!' at that moment? Or is it just me? like if it was you as well! VVV
@@StevoSwiss I made a Planetary Air Conditioner with as much cooling as would save 300 tons of ice from melting per year. It uses no electricity, so that's nice. The down side is the cooling it provides is dumped into the atmosphere in general, and not at the site of the glacier.
This is probably one of the most insane tasks done on TV.
No kidding, and it didn't even seem to phase her.
Hell no!! I'd feel like I was descending into my grave. Brave woman!
Curiosity has driven her to the state of fearlessness.
Amazingly beautiful work!
I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Okay I'm suffocating just by seeing her descending down through the crevices.
I don’t know if seeing glaciers myself makes me more terrified or less but I’m with you buddy
Same. It's so interesting to see, but it is triggering my claustrophobia!
Anyone else seen videos of people stuck in those and she just goes straight in with a huge smile on her face?!

That's ironic, because I'm here as a part of my studies - it was assigned by one of my professors!

Earth is amazing.
This was so fascinating. The time lapse brought me to awe.
Why isn't she wearing a helmet??
Look at what the captions say at 1:03 😂
oh my
LOL I knew it!
Picked the wrong week to comment this 😅
Niggas brain surface ice?! Wtf
It was removed from the captions but I can hear it! 😂
She's a braver man than me. I wouldn't go down on a glacier. lol
WELL ... cemetery is full of brave people
It's because she is married to a drunk.
@@nationalcitysycho Every body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person.
My cousin used to do glacier tours in Alaska. They would land helicopters on glaciers all the time.
@@nationalcitysycho fr bro, imma use that phrase
2:33 *I thought there was a corpse in the corner, scared the hell out of me*
Me too
I think its a corpse 🤔
It IS a corpse.
Where?
👀
Nice. That's the most interesting Earth Lab video I've seen so far.
FUN FACT : 2:30 i see a face in that rock😵😵😵 anyone else?
Surprised to see her abseiling without a helmet!
If I went into that crevice, I would’ve developed instant claustrophobia.
2:16 👀how was that amazing.more like an ice grave to me.whewwwww she is very brave.
brave or stupid...
Fascinating- Mother Nature as ever truly awesome!
I wouldn’t be caught dead in there.
Oh, contrare! If you were caught in there, you WOULD be dead!
What you mean is you wouldn't go in there. (Me neither!)
It is amazing to be under a glacier and hear the creaking noises. Also, fascinating is the blue of the ice with the light refracting through it.
Yep...she fearless!!
This made me thirsty! The melt water looks refreshing!

No kidding my god
You learn something new everyday
She seemed so stoked to be there. Really cool to see.
Who's here because of online school?
me
Me
Me
Me 😂😂😂
me
The way she says crevases or however you spell it
the ice at the lower end of the glacier has a lower melting point
It's very good explained. Thank you. cheerio Toni

Amazing! And please remember, folks: Always carry a piolet when using crampons. They go together as essentials one to the other.
Please credits the people who took the time lapse pictures, meaning the university of Oslo and partners.
contact me please.
This woman has my dream job.
I think it's a 500 m tick not 500 m deep! Get a grip it's slippery it's ice!
Thank you bbc BBC
Yes a mighty brave woman...
The information was appreciable but safely always comes first!
Why she’s not wearing helmet?
& she was walking on the glacier without rope up?
I was wondering who was the technical team behind the scene?
She's under a glacier, soaked with melt water. That says there's at least a team near by with dry clothes and warm towels.
BBC...where is the helmet on that woman abseiling into a glacier.
I've always dreamed to b someone like her
I hope you achieve your goals. All the best!!
@@carcinogenicthalidomide3057 ur wish means a lot. thanks
Great, always good to know a bit of geography especially as I am studying it for GCSEs
I bet one cup of that crispy water will rejuvenate every sell of my body!
maxxing my anxiety out
crazy women waking past all those barely visible cracks in the ice as if its nothing special.. xD respect
ATRIVM I couldn’t hear a word she said over the clanging of those massive balls.
ATRIVM it looks loke a dry glacier, so there should not be any hidden crevases
Interesting! I was here to watch by bare eyes how a glacier moves.
Nice and knowledgeable video
2:32 Am I the only one who can see a face on that rock?
I can see it too, Ur on about the grey one with frost on it right?
It's just like water, they even have little river of snow that enter in the main river.
Hi, is there any studies done on movement of water in glaciers in different mountains types??
No.
2:12 didnt know that you can find ravines in ice biomed
Maybe a mod?
The lady is brave. Wow
This is a brave woman !!!
I stood below a glacier in Chamonix. It was a beautiful experience but I quickly became nervous that it could swallow me whole.
I highly doubt I could go down those glaciers for a million pounds 😵
Good beautiful greetings globe glaciers
She is VERY brave!
That’s a dumb risk.
This is an amazing video!!! Thank you!
that's so cool
Brave or crazy. Wow.
beautiful!
breathtaking reporting 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great work
Best and bravest video I have ever watched
In the end looks like she heard something. Started running for her life.
To understand that at any second the crevices could shift and close scares me into never going there. Its beautiful and all but no thanks!
wow.... it’s amazing
GIRL! you are so brave
Superb video! Beautiful!
What is the name of the Glacier?
Wally. But his friends call him Slick.
Nigardsbreen in Norway
2:52 in the video
@Poop Fingers
Thank you. It sounded like she was saying "Niggard's Brain" and I was confused.
Appreciate your work 🙏
Beautiful video
It may be soooo cold...omg
So friggin cool
Don't you get scared like if it falls on you
That would be flat-out terrifying.
Not smart going down in those cracks...
You know they had an expert go in first, though, and a cameraman was also at the bottom as she abseiled down.
Still terrifying, but the BBC doesn't take risks.
Go to Khumbu Ice fall nd show it there
spooky
1:02 *AYOOO!*
Looks a lil' chilly Lol
Mr cartlidge is a ledgend
'meltwwater can gather in it, and start hollowing its way down towards the bedrock'.

like if it was you as well!
VVV
you didn't mention where the glacier is situated
very interesting
Amazing....
Good greetings for all holy greatest glory glaciers naturally good views
Wow
The place points out like bottom of the glacier is definitely not the bottom !!!! It's just a bit of sediment deposed in small crevasse!!!
cool
A machine that produces ice can save the glaciers from melting.
Now we just need 300 million of them to run 24/7, and make sure they don't run on fossil fuels.

Ice age baby
My favourite.
Nice explanations, but the TIMELAPSE was only 1/6 of the whole thing.
One of the pictures shows dark rocks which should be whitewashed to help slow glacier melting.
2:30 does anyone else see a stone face with mustaches 😁
Why is it glitching?
After watching all those glacier-calving videos.. NOPE
Oh wow man.😃
Tom Scott explained this: the front falls off.
We are a bunch of sailors who took some nice glaciers footages up in the Arctic!

OK number one ...put on a hat of some sort.
No helmet?

She has some brass.
