How Do Glaciers Move? TIMELAPSE! | Earth Science

[@sreenjaysen927]

This is probably one of the most insane tasks done on TV.

[@ProdFluxoxo]

No kidding, and it didn't even seem to phase her.

[@heenanaz953]

Okay I'm suffocating just by seeing her descending down through the crevices.

[@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!

[@emoboy9048]

Hell no!! I'd feel like I was descending into my grave. Brave woman!

[@spamslurper7409]

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

[@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

[@geologuia]

We protected them kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIemkoOEjbeJiNE

[@martinreid2352]

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

[@JHA854]

Earth is amazing.

[@fahimsiddique5437]

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

[@silvermica]

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

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.

[@WonderfullyMade_Lex]

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

[@annehalecott]

Why isn't she wearing a helmet??

[@ericamcqueen5607]

2:33 *I thought there was a corpse in the corner, scared the hell out of me*

[@harshanigamage-sinhala]

Me too

[@harshanigamage-sinhala]

I think its a corpse 🤔

[@stnicholas54]

It IS a corpse.

[@schmenkspeedtyping218]

Where?

[@donaldthompson6934]

👀

[@tsuchan]

Nice. That's the most interesting Earth Lab video I've seen so far.

[@gunturjeans2695]

Look at what the captions say at 1:03 😂

[@samnorthall3394]

oh my

[@RossAllaire]

LOL I knew it!

[@snowkittten]

Picked the wrong week to comment this 😅

[@michaelselz3389]

Niggas brain surface ice?! Wtf

[@davidaugustofc2574]

It was removed from the captions but I can hear it! 😂

[@JWCreations]

Surprised to see her abseiling without a helmet!

[@Rando_Shyte]

This made me thirsty! The melt water looks refreshing!

[@sandmanjono1239]

Fascinating- Mother Nature as ever truly awesome!

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

[@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.

[@christylake2960]

Yep...she fearless!!

[@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.

[@garrenshot]

No kidding my god

[@jonathonprestonemail]

BBC...where is the helmet on that woman abseiling into a glacier.

[@quaidcarlobulloch9300]

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

[@bma1955alimarber]

Wonderful. When watching the dynamics of the ice mountain Its looks like if I am a glacier myself...!

[@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

[@pierre-marielefeuvre830]

Please credits the people who took the time lapse pictures, meaning the university of Oslo and partners. contact me please.

[@mounirab96]

I bet one cup of that crispy water will rejuvenate every sell of my body!

[@jogofi4592]

The way she says crevases or however you spell it

[@alkalinelifestyle638]

I highly doubt I could go down those glaciers for a million pounds 😵

[@tusharthakar5417]

Thank you bbc BBC

[@vaxy150701]

In the end looks like she heard something. Started running for her life.

[@sweetskeetz]

maxxing my anxiety out

[@parsasamandi569]

Interesting! I was here to watch by bare eyes how a glacier moves.

[@caseystu123]

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

[@abdullahhussain8292]

Great, always good to know a bit of geography especially as I am studying it for GCSEs

[@wishgodgirl1903]

Yes a mighty brave woman...

[@alicesacco9329]

It's just like water, they even have little river of snow that enter in the main river.

[@sashadsouza1373]

Don't you get scared like if it falls on you

[@geraldfrost4710]

That would be flat-out terrifying.

[@ofantasticlou]

wow.... it’s amazing

[@mr.elormphysicsandmaths7279]

The lady is brave. Wow

[@Zantagiro]

beautiful!

[@JadedChameleon]

Brave or crazy. Wow.

[@mannanakhtar6488]

2:32 Am I the only one who can see a face on that rock?

[@user-s3ts8my2x]

I can see it too, Ur on about the grey one with frost on it right?

[@sandysandy967]

Hi, is there any studies done on movement of water in glaciers in different mountains types??

[@brutefrog5744]

No.

[@vibhorgupta4966]

Nice and knowledgeable video

[@HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

She is VERY brave!

[@Jv2332]

Mr cartlidge is a ledgend

[@anwarfellahi3673]

you didn't mention where the glacier is situated

[@nickyr7582]

A machine that produces ice can save the glaciers from melting.

[@StevoSwiss]

Now we just need 300 million of them to run 24/7, and make sure they don't run on fossil fuels.

[@geraldfrost4710]

@@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.

[@danielcostilla7254]

This is a brave woman !!!

[@Mizamook]

Superb video! Beautiful!

[@tegnio1293]

What is the name of the Glacier?

[@ROGER2095]

Wally. But his friends call him Slick.

[@--sql]

Nigardsbreen in Norway 2:52 in the video

[@WG55]

@Poop Fingers Thank you. It sounded like she was saying "Niggard's Brain" and I was confused.

[@qwertyTRiG]

Tom Scott explained this: the front falls off.

[@ArcticYachts]

We are a bunch of sailors who took some nice glaciers footages up in the Arctic! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnmconaZipyMopY

[@williamgwyntreharne9966]

One of the pictures shows dark rocks which should be whitewashed to help slow glacier melting.

[@matttownsend7119]

Nice explanations, but the TIMELAPSE was only 1/6 of the whole thing.

[@TheraPi]

Not smart going down in those cracks...

[@micahphilson]

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.

[@saileekasbe7207]

Appreciate your work 🙏

[@sameenashaukat4186]

It may be soooo cold...omg

[@bhuppi13]

After watching all those glacier-calving videos.. NOPE

I want to drink that water

[@AbdulMajid-vt8mj]

Wow

[@abbeyhall4624]

Nice little video but why on earth isn't she wearing a helmet on the descent and why detach the safety rope all just to make a bit of footage? Seems really silly to me.

[@tusharthakar5417]

Good greetings for all holy greatest glory glaciers naturally good views

Honestly 😂

[@marek123454321]

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!!!

[@m_organs14]

2:51 Hol up what did she say???-

[@Majhoolification]

She is talking freezingly

[@chadrotater2577]

THE SOUND IS TOO LOW
