Changing Glaciers of Iceland | Explorers in the Field

[@NatGeo]

National Geographic Explorer M Jackson leads local students through ever-shifting ice tunnels in Iceland to see their country's largest and most endangered glacier. Have you ever seen a glacier in person before?

[@vicdude7900]

Been to the D.M.Z off South Korea 10 degrees

[@brianisme6498]

Saw the one melting in Yellowstone. It’s a bit sad that it’s melting but I can’t do anything about it.

[@meshuggagah4118]

I've been on and under this very glacier. Such a shame that it melts so fast like so many others.

[@SrimaniChakraborty]

Such a beautiful island. The mind is happy to see this panoramic view.😀

Wow , lucky you!! Had to make an emergency landing during a blizzard there on route from Paris 12 years ago- was put up by the airline for two days- my friend and I looked at each other ,pooled our $ , hired a driver and off we went!!made it to Blue Lagoon- WOW!! Before it was the huge tourist place it is now. Ate , walked, shopped, what a fabulous and friendly place!!!

Great video. This is the type of quality content I like to see on this channel.

[@Divedown_25]

You are bringing up an interesting fact about sea level rise that is the land that will raise when the glacier melts so the level of sea level rise consists out of 1: added water to the oceans due land glacier melting 2: warmer ocean water carries a larger volume than cold water and 3: land mass rise in Greenland, Antarctica, Iceland etc Question is how much each one of these three components adds to the sea level rise

[@tan8576]

You have so interesting and exciting profession. Good luck to you.

That wouldn’t be fun. If all the worlds ice were to melt. It would raise Seas by 130m and flood major cities. Humans can’t afford to live in hot house Earth. We need to stop climate change. We can’t risk extinction

[@arunkottolli]

@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI That's why I want a human free world! The life on the planet will thrive without humans. We are just one species that is causing all the extinctions, sea level rise, ozone hole etc..

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Arun Kottolli yes but humans are both the worst and best thing to ever happen to Earth. We should just use renewable energy sources and protect Earth. Instead of killing life on Earth in a hot house, let’s curve climate change and explore the universe. Humans have potential. Not hard to stop Global Warming. The hardest part however is global cooperation.

Certainly more sanitary than drinking water from your tap or a plastic bottle. I drank water flooding on a glacier and in numerous icelandic rivers. I'm still alive and healthy.

Drinking snow is usually unsafe unless you boil it first, but drinking glacier ice is usually okay.

what your not telling is we are in the latter part of the North Atlantic Multi Decadal Oscillation witch raised north Atlantic sea temps by + 3/5.c that's one of the main region your ice there is melting

[@Esbbbb]

Why does the ice seem really "dirty" there? Guess it affects the albedo as well?

[@brianisme6498]

That’s how ice looks when it’s melting have you never been in the snow?

[@Esbbbb]

@@brianisme6498 Well yeah, I live in Finland but I've never paid so much attention to it. I would assume it looks "dirty" from further away due to gravel spread on ice.

[@brianisme6498]

Esbbbb I grew up in Canada and it would also become dirty and then become slush.

[@anthonyboyce5387]

Cool 🔥💯🔥

[@Noukz37]

I wonder are the glaciers there black because of the volcanic soils of Iceland or because of the airborne carbon being deposited.

[@keith6032]

the volcanic soils get mixed in with the ice as it rolls downhill.

These people make are hilariouse and theyre politicle agenda is always the same. They simply have no respect for the earths constant state of change. The only constant is change. Humans have lived and expanded through the greatest period of calm on the planet and we are seeing the opposite coming. We are but ants along for the journey.

[@bendoy4555]

Sure, random person on the internet, you're the expert here. Bet you've got all the facts disproving the heaps of evidence we have.

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

It’s not a political agenda. It’s fact. Humans are causing global warming. All evidence proves it.

[@luise.zambranoc.5182]

It's not only that humans are the cause... It's the thing that "the earth constant state of change" that you said, it happens but it takes millions of years, and the global warning that we are living started like 200 years ago.

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Luis E. Zambrano C. Just to put in perspective. Earth warmed 5°C during the post glacial warming over 10,000 years starting 20,000 years ago. That’s a warming of 0.0005°C per year. Earth has warmed 1°C in the past 50 years. That’s a warming rate of 0.02°C per year. The current warming is occurring, I do the math correctly, 5x faster than a typical ice age recovery. And we’re expecting another 3°C to 4°C warming by 2100 on top of what we have had already.

[@luise.zambranoc.5182]

We can turn this around, we just have to move in that direction. Glaciologist maybe, Climatolgist not. This is an incredibly arrogant view. As if humans are are important in the bigger scheme of things. Saving glaciers? The planet, its rotation, the sun, its irradiance. All these things are what has control over our climate not humans......only conceited humans think this. Ask a glaciologist this question: Are we in a carbon drought currently on earth?
