@@rahmspinat Yeah! why would you ever want your kids to have a schooling program suited for them instead of putting them in a nice public school where they'll be indoctrinated and bullied and probably shot by a schizo!
Fun fact, glacial carve like Deane describes is responsible for the sheer face of Half Dome in Yosemite. It was once the molten rock inside a volcano, which eroded away, leaving the cooled granite structure, which was then shorn in half by a passing glacier. The North Face clothing brand is named for the north (sheer) face of Half Dome, which is depicted in their logo mark as well.

True story, back in the 80s in High School, my Science Teacher wondered why I did so well in Science without doing much work. I credit the Curiousity Show, a good Encyclopedia and Science books at home for my good grades!
I don't know if Julius Sumner-Miller ever had a conversation with Deane Hutton, but I imagine it went like this: Julius: "Why is it so?" Deane: "Well, I'm glad you asked!"
I met Julius Sumner-Miller a couple of times and his enthusiasm for science was infectious. On one occasion, I was with a small group of science teachers, on a Saturday, helping the professor set up and test his props and demonstrations for a live science show for high school students which was to be presented that evening at the the Apollo basketball stadium in Adelaide, Australia. I took my then eight-year-old son David along to help with the set up and to meet the professor. At the end of the day, young David said to Julius Sumner-Miller, "Thank you, Professor, for letting me help setting up the experiments". "That's OK young man," said Julius, " but now let me give you some advice that will last a lifetime." David and I waited for the words of wisdom from the great man. He paused dramatically and then declared, "NEVER PUT GUM IN YOUR HAIR !!!" With that, the professor turned and walked away. "What did that mean, Dad?" asked David. "I'm not sure" was my reply. But to this day, in our family, if someone is contemplating a risky undertaking, someone will repeat the cautionary words of Sumner-Miller, "Never put gum in your hair !" Deane.
My understanding of glaciers just took a giant leap forward, very educational. Can't believe it was 9+ minutes long, i was so engaged, it felt like just a few minutes!
Memories as a kid! Love these uploads.. so much forgotten or missed as a child, watching Rob and Dean on TV after school! I still remember the matchstick foil rockets! Haha, it's weird how kids don't get to see that stuff these days! How times have changed .. less phones more experiments I say !! Haha!
I remember when ski equipment looked like that. In fact, if I looked hard enough, I'd probably be able to find boots like that in storage around here somewhere.
"If you want to see the ice that I was standing on at the top of the glacier turn back into water you'll have to come back here round about 2300 AD." Well, let's see about that :).
"If you want to see the ice that I was standing on at the top of the glacier turn back into water, you'll have to come back here round about 2300 A.D." Lol, try 2021.
I remember seeing these as a kid! It would have been early 90's, and I'm guessing it was discovery channel on sky tv. I was convinced that the curator of the museum above the old fire station in Oxford's George street was a presenter on there, never occured to me that maybe more than one bloke might look the same, and both have an interest in physics.
It is estimated that the Tasman Glacier will eventually disappear and the terminal Tasman Lake will reach a maximum size in 10 to 19 years time. -Wikipedia
No, its still there, though it has lost half of its size since 1980 www.stuff.co.nz/environment/89403443/when-the-worlds-glaciers-shrunk-new-zealands-grew-bigger

One of the longest segments I have ever seen on the curiosity show
Thanks for noticing. The Analytics tell us that most viewers stayed the distance! Deane.
no point going all the way to New Zealand for a 2 segment
I ' M G L A D Y O U A S K E D ! I love this show.
This show is fantastic. Great for homeschool videos.

Watching him walk in that crevasse had my hands sweating, he had more faith than I ever would in that snow
global warming wasn't a thing back then...

Always loved watching the curiosity show when I was growing up, every segment was interesting and well presented.

Very practical .... solved my query with a snap.... love this channel. ... never stop broadcasting
high af chillin in america watching a vintage australian public info tv show on the internet.
the future is here.
A very informative show on glaciers, top stuff ! Thanks guys !
Grew up with access to PBS, TVO and CBC in Canada. This program competes with some of the best stuff any of those educational networks had to offer!
this show is some of the best educational video ive seen in ages. RUclipsrs could learn from this guy
Decades later, you teach a German a new German word.
Longest ice cube sandblock infomercial ever.

That was the best yet
Wonderful segment and very informative
I learned heaps from this how s a kid now as an adult still learning from this show :)
Awesome segment.
My son is 6 years old and I can't wait to get him to start watching this channel soon
What an amazing piece of Nature. I wonder how big that Glacier is today.
Its has lost half its size since 1980 www.stuff.co.nz/environment/89403443/when-the-worlds-glaciers-shrunk-new-zealands-grew-bigger
What a frightening and yet good question. . .
Always a pleasure watching these
You are the greatest guys here on the planet :)
Thanks for your generous praise. But I'm not sure how many of the seven billion others would agree! Deane.
Amazing documentary, and all started with a new definition to wet sanding

"If you want to see the ice that I was standing on at the top of the glacier turn back into water you'll have to come back here round about 2300 AD."
Well, let's see about that :).
Freakin love this show man
This is like looking at the past that doesn't exist today. I mean today we can't guarantee you'll see something 30 years from now let alone 300.
The biggest and most spectacular crev-asse of all...
I know, I'm a child.
*makes a tiny glacier
*goes to a full-sized glacier
"If you want to see the ice that I was standing on at the top of the glacier turn back into water, you'll have to come back here round about 2300 A.D."

Sadly this glacier is a fraction of its size now.
Yes, half its size since 1980. www.stuff.co.nz/environment/89403443/when-the-worlds-glaciers-shrunk-new-zealands-grew-bigger
Yeah the prediction of 2300 for the ice where he was standing to have melted might need recalculating.
It's not sad, it's just the nature of things, it's ebb and flows, hot and cold, 1000 year cycles and so forth.
@@hogarthheathan Its a bit beyond that.
@@hogarthheathan and by a bit I mean a fuck tonne that is irreparable.
I read the title and HAD to watch!
I don't know, I've heard a lot of people tell me it won't take until 2300 for that glacier to melt.
Incredible video as always, I was waiting for the glaciers one to come out!
What kinds of merchandise do you guys sell?
Very informative video visualizing the process of erosion by ice. Well, now I know ice-"berg" means big ice taking from Bergschrund(Big Crevasse).
It actually translates to mountain. Berg = mountain
Can't get snow from my fridge, it's a frost free fridge. Very futuristic lol.
I got frostbite four times but my table looks gorgeous
I'm hooked on these and can't stop watching, but that high pitch feedback buzz kinda makes me want to poke holes in my ear drums.
Where can I get that snowsuit?
Excellent
great video!
Not anymore, she's melting at a huge rate.
As an American they way he is saying those words is funny. Language is so strange.
can't believe I had to watch art attack where a Northern bloke made giant art and loads of stuff out of newspaper instead of this.
This glacier has lost half of its ice since 1980 www.stuff.co.nz/environment/89403443/when-the-worlds-glaciers-shrunk-new-zealands-grew-bigger
That's so sad!
How much time to melt the glacier's?

@@surf2257 I didn't know that this area had ice until I saw this episode. It's sad to hear that they are disappearing.
My co-worker is really bad with guys so I nicknamed her sandpaper. This is hilarious
I have to wonder now if someone used dirty sheets of ice to sand wood before the invention of sandpaper
This is going to be only reference children will have of what glaciers were.
Bergschrund which in German means big crevasse. Hahaha gotta love the Germans. They got a word for everything
glacier for glaceon?
(pokemon)
Dude, play this in a church, people will freak out because it may contradicts their religion dogmas of creation. Great show!
2300 AD? wishful thinking!!!! its already melted and rained down, folded Queensland 4 times since you shoot this segment.
im sure the whole thing is melted by now
*Glaysheeya*
glaciers are just slow motion rivers. change my mind
"A glacier *was* a river of ice. This *was* the Tasman glacier. It no longer exists."
No, its still there, though it has lost half of its size since 1980 www.stuff.co.nz/environment/89403443/when-the-worlds-glaciers-shrunk-new-zealands-grew-bigger
@Rosehill CCTV How high are you right now?
You learn far more here on 40 year old TV shows than you ever do in today's public schools. Just shows quality of education has collapsed.
Gla-Cee-Uh =p
That is how we Aussies pronounce glacier as a rule.
@@jrace4179 Lighten up. I'm joking.

Do Americans really need that explanation of depth in empire state buildings?

At the end he "forgot" to take into consideration global warming. The ice he was standing at the top of the glacier has probably melted by now.
Glaciers are receiving A LOT of attention these days. This segment was likely recorded before a certain hysteria began to sweep over the world.
What a crock-
