    Hey friends! Thanks for watching this video. There are more crucial changes happening in the frozen North, most of which are thanks to climate change.... like the killer whales, which now find open doors to once closed waterways and thus access to new prey: ruclips.net/video/FsAfZxyw3r0/видео.html

      Agree, we also need to address availability and predictability of rodent population, which what snowy owl consume.

    That time lapse around 1:50 was just extraordinary! The nuance of orbital mechanics in action. Strange thing to see an owl species in an environment without trees -- nests on the ground in the wide open and all. This crew really followed the raising of these chicks for quite a length! That or owl chicks develop far faster than I had thought.

    snowy owl are very cool but it's hard to believe that they depend on such tiny rodents and it would be very sad if our descendants only saw pictures, drawings and videos of them . Anyways ice video and cinematography keep up the good work

      The planet is fine. It's actually a lot greener than it use to be thanks to mankinds contributions to atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

      @thejarjosh 3 года назад

      And there's still plenty of ice. In fact glaciers are growing again. Arctic sea ice is rebounding.
      It's what some would expect seeing as how the Modern Maximum(1914-2015ish) just ended recently.

      Dying is an exaggeration. Humans are not capable of eradicating all life on Earth. At worst, we could wipe ourselves out and most larger plants and animals. Given a few million years, new species will arise. Earth used to have no oxygen, just CO2 and when the first plants and algae starting creating oxygen, it was extremely poisonous to most life and caused the first mass extinction. Now most life on earth metabolizes oxygen. Things adapt

DYING means humanity dies and wipes out most life that exist, the sixth mass extinction. that is fucking unacceptable and down playing it like that, just casually accepting the extinction of humanity and most of the biosphere as we know it zombie level idiocracy

    Seems very good. Lots of emphasis on the importance of lemmings, which is fully believable. However, several of the snippets actually show small birds as prey of the Snowy Owl and the Arctic fox is carrying an egg. Yet throughout this the narration was only about lemmings, ignoring that clearly other prey are taken.

    • @obambagaming1467
      @obambagaming1467 2 года назад +4

      But the lemmings are their main food source and without them they can't feed their young.
      They wont necessarily starve because of less lemmings because there is other food, but they can't feed their young since they need much more prey for that.
      And as mentioned in the video: they will only nest in areas with many lemmings. If they can't find a good place, they wont produce offspring.

    Sea ice is rebounding in the Arctic. The "experts" claiming ice free summers by 2013-14 then later claiming 2016... well they were just wrong.
    Modern Maximum(1914-2015ish) ended and ice began accumulating again.
