Magnificent! Nice to see this international coverage and collaboration with PBS involved. Much detail, above the old '8th Grade' level of information. Look forward to seeing this same team listed in the credits (and probably some other great minds not mentioned) pursue further work of this caliber/ calibre. It has touched on many fields of study that would inspire home learners to look more deeply via Google &/or KZbin. For example, flora & fauna associated with ice fields, old Norse words that have entered English, how melting silt creates frigid turquoise lakes and can block harbors, the Maori name for Mt. Cook and its sacred no-treading designation ... & so on. It would be fascinating to see this level of coverage on the mountainous areas of central Asia, about which we hear so little. Not easy to access, I imagine, but surely there are areas there that merit coverage & maybe UNESCO world heritage status. Many thanks for posting this presentation.

I climbed Cradle Mountain in the middle of winter. There was a lot of snow and our group of three were the only people on the mountain. It was quite tough but satisfying.

Thank you for a beautufully crafted documentary on Antarctica!

[@jeffreyhusack2400]

Sad to see glaciers that took thousands of years to form, melting from global warming.

[@chrisharper8158]

Or we’re finally at the end of the last ice age and waiting on the next

[@jrde3722]

It is not global warming. It is the natural process of warming and cooling of the earth. If not, then we should all be living ice right now.

I mean, learning about Antarctica via documentaries has made me want to save it. Going there isn't necessary. I'd argue it's better to learn about it from afar to avoid doing damage to a delicate ecosystem on the verge of collapse

[@kinte1870]

Antarctica doesn't need you to save it.

[@annapau9685]

Very good

[@GaryEllington-dy8li]

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate!!!😮.Earth is becoming a warmer place.

[@jakebrakebill]

at about the 17:10 mark, what is said is interesting, it's a multi-million-dollar industry. many fear the impact of such human presents, and to have the desire to protect it, you have to see it, smell it and taste it. isn't that the problem ? asking for a friend.

[@GaryEllington-dy8li]

Some scientists say that the 🌎 has already gone past the point of NO😢 return. The 🌎 is only going to get much warmer!😮

[@jimbaker1980]

I wonder could we not send that fresh ciean water to our Provinces before hitting the ocean for us to save for future droughts and fires

Elk and mule deer are not the same animal.

What everyone doesn’t realize is that this melting is a natural process as it is a natural process to freeze again, This happened throughout the earths life, It happens all the time in history, It’s like a revolving door. Ice ages have happened many times and it essentially melts over time and then another ice age happens and the ice takes over everything. It’s a natural process due to the seasons and constant shifting of the poles.

[@cruisepaige]

Thank god for you, the only one who knows what’s going on. 😂

[@invertevision4757]

But it has never happened this fast in the history of the planet. Yes it is a natural thing that happens, but over hundreds and thousands of years, not decades.

[@christinafidance340]

Only idiots view our climate crisis as a damn political issue. Don’t get your info from Fox News, dude! I trust the actual scientists a lot more. I understand that there is a fortune to be made in the new green energy technologies, however, that’s the case with everything. Those who lie to us have their reasons (and profits) as well.

[@mayaappel]

I know about the 1500 year cycle (I think that’s the number) but it hasn’t happened this fast. It’s the cycle but human influence too.

[@Dzokhar]

Seeing blue ice on the surface makes me sad, not amazed.

[@PP-xd9rv]

ShutUp!

[@invertevision4757]

Orca are actually dolphins...not whales. If you gonna do a documentary, at least speak facts

[@ChadMagiera]

Was this script AI generated ? Most random and useless commentary. But yes, great way to use that b-roll.
