How Do Glaciers Move? TIMELAPSE! | Earth Science

Curiosity has driven her to the state of fearlessness. Amazingly beautiful work!

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.

[@monkeyman8393]

I don’t know if seeing glaciers myself makes me more terrified or less but I’m with you buddy

[@AlisonBryen]

Same. It's so interesting to see, but it is triggering my claustrophobia!

[@spamslurper7409]

Anyone else seen videos of people stuck in those and she just goes straight in with a huge smile on her face?!

[@alan4sure]

Those are narrow crevasses they fell into by mistake. She's in a big wide one.

[@jason3tears]

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

This was so fascinating. The time lapse brought me to awe.

[@MusicEchos]

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.

[@JHA854]

Earth is amazing.

[@fredMplanenut]

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.

[@quaidcarlobulloch9300]

She seemed so stoked to be there. Really cool to see.

[@terrylap6132]

If I went into that crevice, I would’ve developed instant claustrophobia.

[@toniturnwald9890]

It's very good explained. Thank you. cheerio Toni

[@Skullking489]

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.

[@toniturnwald9890]

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

[@ritensherpa2238]

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?

[@geraldfrost4710]

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.

[@caseystu123]

I stood below a glacier in Chamonix. It was a beautiful experience but I quickly became nervous that it could swallow me whole.

[@s4leeha]

the ice at the lower end of the glacier has a lower melting point

[@cher8005]

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.

@@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.
