As a norwegian, what is almost as impressive as your cinematography and narrative skills are what looks like a complete absence of tourists in your shots.

Haha I was surprised by the low traffic on the trails- probably helps that most of this was shot quite late at night or early in the morning. Midday seemed pretty slammed :)

As a Norwegian geography student, what I remember the best from when we studied glaciology was that as late as the 1800s, Norwegians believed erratics (those out-of-place boulders they couldn't explain) must have been placed there by trolls. They were _that_ inexplicable.

This is really solid pop science and storytelling! Kudos. I have only one suggestion (for a post-script). The calculations of Milancowich were solid more than a hundred years ago, but it took more than 50 years to demonstrate their impact on the natural variability of the global climate. Most of us will say that the theory was settled in 1976, by empirical data presented by Hays, Imbrie and Shackleton (1976). "Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages". Science. 194. This is a tale we often see in science but it is rarely commented upon. Science is a very slow and very elaborate human cooperation. Generations of small incremental advances are needed: Learning how to core the deep ocean, how plankton fractionate Oxygen isotopes and how global ice volume alters the ratio of O16 and O18 in the global ocean water. Learning how to clean and measure the ocean samples. Learning how to date the sediment cores .... this list of needed scientific quickly becomes long. We have seen the same with the Higgs Boson. It was theoretically outlined in the early 1960s, but we had to wait half a century before one could confirm it by measurements in 2012. Einstein implicitly showed that gravity waves were a thing in General Relativity. That one took a century to confirm by observations... News is filled with "scientists have discovered" headlines - as if something completely new just dropped out of the sky while in reality, pretty much every single little observation made is sitting on the tail end of a long and deep collaborative history of science itself. (An extra PS: It took until 1993 before science really got a hold of well-known (and non-orbital) glacial changes (such as the well-described "Younger Dryas" described already around 1900 as a sudden cold reversal at the end of the last glacial). To truly start to get a handle on these rapid events, known to exist for almost a century, the ice-coring communities and the ocean-coring communities had to work for decades on how to get enough temporal resolution out of the data so that one could have multiple independent data-points to describe violent and rapid events with statistical significance. Others had been developing "tephra-chronologies" that allowed for much better "cross data-set" timing control than radiometric methods can allow. Others had turned the effing magnetic field of our planet into global chronological points of reference for the same reason. I am not a storyteller, but you are. I think your sensibilities and communication skills can make even these side stories into something interesting for a wider audience since I believe all these stories from the tiny (the standard theory) to the large (general relativity) to the planet we walk on individually illustrate how time itself is necessary for advances of our collective understanding. To quote my favourite science communicator of all time, Carl Sagan (and his wife and co-author Ann Druyan): 'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe". This is the humble pie every publishing scientist is bowing to in the reference list at the end of papers (cut very short, since no one can not reference the entire works of Maxwell and Fourier (or Pythagoras) and what followed every time details are shared). I thoroughly enjoyed this "essay". Thank you.

Here in the state of Ohio the north part of the state is entirely composed of ancient glacial landscapes, there is massive moraines in western Ohio, huge glacial-carved valleys like the Cuyahoga Valley, and massive amounts of boulders were the ice sheet stopped during the last Glacial Maximum.

Brilliant video that clearly shows how powerful Ice truly is. As a Dane I want to add to this by saying that our entire country is made of glacial deposits by the very same massive ice ages that once covered northern Europe. All the granite rocks on Danish beaches can be matched to Swedish and Norwegian mountain ranges. So can the sand, dirt, clay and even the plants and animal species. The rolling hills of Denmark are a direct result of massive glaciers carving them out and all the abnormally large stones found around Denmark, are all placed here by the very same glaciers. Scandinavia is a beautiful, living example of how powerful water and especially ice can be.

That was interesting! I love glaciers and have read a lot about Louis Agassiz, Jean de Charpentier and others pioneers of glacier study, but I don't remember ever hearing of Jens Esmark. Well, being Swiss I am biased in remembering Swiss people. Giving credit to the right person is often difficult, as new theories and discoveries always almost come gradually, with contributions from many people. Crediting the right people is complicated even more by by there having always been people claiming any possible theory, and often it is only possible to see much later if a theory was correct and based on solid observations and not just. It is often easiest to credit the people who popularized something, rather than those who initially came up with it. Who to credit is complicated even further by ideology. Louis Agassiz was born in Switzerland, where he did great work on geology. His main field of study was ichthyology, but as he worked with fossils and was a good geologist he also worked on other fields related to geology, like glaciers. He later moved to the USA, where unfortunately his focus gradually moved away from geology to "human studies", where he tried to prove the superiority of certain human races over others. This very racist side of Louis Agassiz has long been completely blended out in Switzerland, but has come back in the last two decades, leading to increasing pressure to renames places and mountains named after him, and even to just completely remove him from history. It is tricky to tell history in a good way.
