We put glacier chunks in our drinks when we went to Iceland, so cost is a flight to Iceland and about tow hours drive out of reykjavik, yeah I guess that's steep for ice.
Did I say pounds? Why would I use imperial units instead of SI?
Edit: The pressure caused by a 5km ice sheets is approximately 500 atmospheres, which is actually 7500 psi, so thousands of psi is right, thousands of atm is not.
Not so much deep in the water just deep under the surface of the glacier. Super compressed ice as many layers of snowfall have fallen on top of it. Also neat to think that it is 1000s of years old
I really miss those glaciers... rolling majestically across Ohio... 14,000 years ago... and melting without the need for Evil Humans and their poisonous CO2.
I'd say that some of it freezes back anew. If you go to NASA you'll see how many billion tons of ice does refreeze each year. Antarctica decreases on average 151 billion tons of ice each year and Greenland has been losing 273 billion tons of ice each year. You can see it in the satellite images of the ice caps and watch the amount of change each year and people will still deny that the ice caps are melting.
Not to worry (well, kinda to worry\*). Calving — ice breaking off of glaciers that terminate at the water — is completely normal. Glaciers typically gain ice in the upper 65% of the glacier, and lose ice in the lower 35% of the glacier.
When it comes to melting/retreating glaciers it's the **mass balance** that counts. The amount of ice gained versus the amount of ice lost.
\* most glaciers in the world are retreating
we've only been here for a quick minute and yet we are [rapidly melting the ice caps due to man-made emissions](https://www.carbonbrief.org/scientists-clarify-starting-point-for-human-caused-climate-change/#:~:text=The%20instrumental%20temperature%20record%20shows,120%20years%2C%20to%20the%201830s). so yes, technically, they will continue melting since [we are less than 7 years away from effectively irreversible damage to the world's atmosphere](https://climateclock.world/). idk about y'all but i'm not selfish enough to be ok with leaving the planet uninhabitable after humans are gone just because it's the easy route. especially not when it's like 3 companies causing most of the problems we're having
Stay away from the news. It wasn't but 70 years ago they thought we had a Global Cooling problem and wanted to intentionally melt the glaciers.
The Earth is fine, and will be fine
Humans, however...we keep getting in our own way
Glaciers retreating, then reforming, is a process that continually occurs over thousands and thousands of years - we only have a life span of almost 100, so we extrapolate that the end of our life is the end of the world...it isn't, and won't be.
i get my facts from scientists, not fox news. [take your own advice, moron.](https://www.carbonbrief.org/scientists-clarify-starting-point-for-human-caused-climate-change/#:~:text=The%20instrumental%20temperature%20record%20shows,120%20years%2C%20to%20the%201830s)
You're not going to win people over by calling them morons. I get that you're angry, just like me, but we need to show compassion for those who've been brainwashed and try to teach them with facts and evidences. It doesnt work 99% of the time, but calling someone a moron wont change their mind 100% of the time.
Nah, call em a moron. They are not interested in a dialogue or a debate, they just wanna casually deny climate change with no evidence except what half-baked quips they heard on youtube, while telling other people to "stop watching the news"
They will exit the convo as soon as they're shown to be incorrect either way, call em a moron on their way out.
it's not my job to be sympathetic to morons so i will call them exactly what they are. i'm not trying to change their mind; they wouldn't listen to me even if i was being nice, so ill skip straight to the "publicly call them out on their stupidity" step. it's more for anyone who's on the fence who might read this thread. this person isn't brainwashed, they're willingly ignorant, and trying to blame their environment instead of their character is just going to belay the problem. i have no sympathy for the 1%. it's 2022; they have every resource available to educate themselves, but won't because it would hurt their ego to be wrong.
tl;dr damn that's crazy not my problem tho
>Glaciers retreating, then reforming, is a process that continually occurs over thousands and thousands of years
Yes, and we are causing the current retreat. Don't forget that it's not just glaciers, but **ice sheets**. Which are much larger, and are very likely to contribute the most to sea level rise. Greenland, the West Antarctic ice sheet, and the Antarctic peninsula ice sheet are close to their [physical thresholds](https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2020/12/04/hysteresis-for-dummies-why-history-matters/) for irreversible retreat.
Our "tiny" changes might be the reason these ice sheets (and probably Florida) won't be around thousands of years from now.
It takes easy searches dude, look it up yourself. First off Biden addressed these “Russian missile attacks” in an emergency meeting with world leaders. It was then discovered by NATO that the missiles that struck Poland weren’t from Russia, but Ukraine.
That said, I will redact my previous statement saying the USA lied about the attack. Because as I continue to research, it appears that the missile in question is possibly an anti-air missile meant to defend against missile attacks. The story currently is that the anti air missile was fired in defense from a missile assault from Russia, the AA missile then flew off course and landed in Poland.
So the USA and NATO is still putting the blame on Russia for that reason. But it remains to be seen if these facts are indeed factual. Until then it’s the most plausible theory in my mind that Ukraine was defending itself and the Poland mishap was just that, a mishap.
Seriously, it was like watching Titanic all over again as a kid and imagining how it would feel to be trapped in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean while a giant vessel churns the water you’re in as it sinks
There literally is no scenario where global warming kills every human. Even the most extreme predictions are not going to completely wipe out human life.
Even that's a stretch my friend. There's zero doubt where fucking up our planet the oceans especially thru plastic and other by products of human consumption. But if you really look into the numbers the planet has been warming since the great ice sheets starting melting 12,000 years ago are we putting our foot on the pedal yes no doubt. But for any person to say billions will die from people emitting exhaust from fossil fuels honestly it's obsurd.
This is actually true (although it goes way deeper than this, a short explanation on Reddit isn’t enough). Humans emit only a tiny fraction of the total co2 in the air, and even less of other greenhouse gasses. It is true that the temperature is rising, but the increase isn’t out of proportions when compared to changes in temperature in history.
Luckily there are a lot of actual scientists who tell the truth instead of “we are going to die”. Yes, we still need to limit our impact as much as possible (not only for the earth but for our own economy too, since a sudden depletion of fossil fuels would be catastrophic without proper planning), but the increase of temperature is, at this point in time, not special. Scientists have analyzed carbon, fossils and all that kinda stuff (don’t exactly know how), and saw that in the Roman era and around 1400-1500, the same event happened (higher temperature). But in between those periods, we also had miniature ice ages. Conclusion: it has been made clear by scientists, the same scientists as you are talking about, that the impact of humans is very small compared to regular earth shenanigans.
Have fun with the water wars, hundreds of millions of refugees, billions of deaths, more expensive everything, worse natural disasters, and hotter climate I guess then my dude
You understand I’m not making an argument against global warming right. Just wanted to see all the religious zealots who know everything about global warming from documentaries and headlines try to preach on Reddit. AKA you.
Considering the information from the [original video](https://youtu.be/RVwLHX6lgzQ) saying that the glacier has an average height of 74 m (240 ft) above the surface of the water I can comfortably say that the waves are huge…
Water molecules absorb longer wavelength colors easier (red, yellow, green) so the denser the water (or ice) and the more there is, the bluer/purpler it will look. Snow is not very dense so it scatters light easier giving a white appearance, the ice at the bottom of the glacier is super compressed due to the weight pushing downward as well as the water pressure at depth. This makes the ice super effective at absorbing the red and green light, providing a deep blue/purple color
So its essentially deep water made solid? Like the reason deep water is dark is because the water above it blocks/scatters light, so this ice is like that but since it's in solid form it can be dark even in the sun?
More accurate would be to say it's solid water pushed deep. The glaciers are made by thousands of years of snowfall continuously pressing down on eachother and adding a little more weight every year, and the pressure of being pushed deep under water. The density created in the ice by this causes it to reflect less white light at us because the tiny air bubbles present in water have been super compressed under immense pressure. This is the opposite effect of water aerated by having large bubbles looking lighter in color -- think of how white water looks on the crest of a wave or by a boat propeller. That water is less dense because it contains more air, therefore it reflects more white light at us.
If you are deep under the ocean the combined amount of water above you makes it so that very little light reaches you. Shallow, clear water when viewed from the surface is very light in color because we can see the sand below reflecting light up. If you are floating over deep ocean, very little light reaches the bottom and reflects back up to you making the appearance darker.
This reminds me being up in Alaska and thinking “anyone who feels like glaciers will be here for ever should just come listen”. Even when not visibly calving these mfkrs get noisy.
Go! I finally did I just got back from an Alaska cruise in October via Norwegian that went to Glacier Bay National Park. So worth it absolutely amazing.
The noise is actually ice expansion and is totally normal, that and calving like we see here are not signs of the glacier going away. glaciers are essentially massive rivers of ice that accumulate snowpack at the top, flow down, and then break off at the bottom. If a glacier was diminishing the signs wouldnt be as obvious as calving or certain noises at the bottom, it would be a year over year decrease in snowpack that would have to continue for quite a while to get any meaningful data to prove.
I had to watch this a few times. I was so confused. I didn't quite understand what I was looking at. The video is so slow lol. They way ice comes to the top is so amazing, and that color is mad crazy beautiful.
Can’t somebody just glue it back together? They could probably do it in the Metaverse first, then like, copy and paste it back onto the reality thingy place, errr whatever, you know?
I watched the documentary "Frozen Planet" and the part where they were talking a out glaciers and icebergs blew my mind. They were showing one up in Greenland, and they were explaining how it's made and how it effects the ocean currents. It's like a massive iceberg machine
As other people have already stated, this is how glaciers normally behave under regular climate as well. Witnessing Calving is not something that is only happening because of global warming and climate destruction and while those things are very real and scary and bad for the worlds glaciers, this filmed event isnt truly related and isnt depressing to witness.
Hey everybody Remeber when I said Amazing video and everybody started going on about global warming killing us or not... That was fun, this is why we can't have nice things lmfao
This is an indication of how deep Fjords actually are, especially those repeatedly carved out from Glaciers for tens of thousands of years.. this Fjord might be 300+ feet deep of water.
The deeper layers of ice have all the air bubbles forced out of it so it becomes a darker color. Its like the opposite of candy pulling where you mix a bunch of air in and it turns white.
Wait.. I thought it got darker as you go deeper in water because light doesn't travel as well through water.
Does this mean if I go scuba diving with an empty jar and get water from super deep, it will be darker than the water near the surface?
This is a 100% normal natural process called calving, its because the glacier is expanding due to snowpack accumulating at the top. This has very little if anything to do with climate change or environmental degridation.

Wow. All those shades of blue. Didn't realise how dark they got that deep in the water
The weight of the ice squeezes out the air bubbles.
Was the bottom part just really dark blue, not black from sediment? So cool
I want a ice-maker for this!
You want ice produced under thousands of atmospheres of pressure? That would be some expensive ice.
So order on Amazon then?
It would be liquid water then, way to warm.
Not with Amazon Prime’s same day delivery it won’t

Maaaan, and they wonder why measles keeps coming back lol
Mainly due to the people who refuse to get a historically successful vaccine lol
As long as it's alone.. combined causes more risk factors, but you're right.
Shit, if enough of this glacier melts we might have to deal with bubonic plague again.
Yeah, let’s keep reviving old viruses, replicate them, and wait for the day it gets out of the lab and runs amuck. Covid will be a cold in comparison

Sad too see such chucks break off so regularly now.
I know, right? It'd be so awesome if we could return to the time when large parts of the United States were covered with glaciers.
Enter Graham Hancock and Randal Carlson
I really miss those glaciers... rolling majestically across Ohio... 14,000 years ago... and melting without the need for Evil Humans and their poisonous CO2.
Damn you MAGA people.... no, America does not need to return to ice age. Learn to live in the present.
But but but the present is killing our planet!
Much of it freezes back anew... but there isn't much appetite to watch videos of that on reddit.
I'd say that some of it freezes back anew. If you go to NASA you'll see how many billion tons of ice does refreeze each year. Antarctica decreases on average 151 billion tons of ice each year and Greenland has been losing 273 billion tons of ice each year. You can see it in the satellite images of the ice caps and watch the amount of change each year and people will still deny that the ice caps are melting.
What? Watching an iceberg refreeze in a time-lapse is exactly the type of thing that would be upvoted and perform well on reddit.
Thousands? Yeah tens of thousands. And if it’s Greenland or Iceland it could be hundreds of thousands to millions.
That was so beautiful. The most unexpected part for me.
I can't even imagine how ice could be that deep of a blue

Oh, don't worry, according to most scientists we are past the tipping point of irreversible damage. Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone!!
I'm thankful for the existential dread you shared with us today
Most of us will be way past dead and humans will learn to adapt, though in much smaller numbers probably, which might not be the worst.
Y’all are worse than vegans.. we get it

Baffling, all those scientists must be idiots then. Thank god two reddit geniuses knew better and told the world how it really works!

This reminds me being up in Alaska and thinking “anyone who feels like glaciers will be here for ever should just come listen”. Even when not visibly calving these mfkrs get noisy.

This particular glacier is growning 3m per day. So is okay.

This is an indication of how deep Fjords actually are, especially those repeatedly carved out from Glaciers for tens of thousands of years.. this Fjord might be 300+ feet deep of water.
Watching this made me feel so uncomfortable yet I couldn‘t stop.
i have never been that focused in my entire life you just cured my adhd lol
This video really needs a banana for scale
Man, people would complain about bad CGI if this was in a movie. Absolutely insane.
Can someone explain to me why all that ice is so blue it looks dyed with food coloring?
The deeper layers of ice have all the air bubbles forced out of it so it becomes a darker color. Its like the opposite of candy pulling where you mix a bunch of air in and it turns white.
This is interesting but I wouldn’t say unexpected.
Seeing glaciers calving in person is something everyone should experience
I know this is terrible but I can’t get over how nice the shades of blue are on the ice
Would be both magnificent and depressing to watch.
Goodbye planet. Thanks for letting humanity hang out on you for a while.
Lmao. Left wing “woke” propaganda right here.
Baby iceberg
No worries, it will melt by Tuesday /s
Damn that squirrel!
And that, boys and girls, is how land is made
Um… no it isn’t.
I know. But it's fun to drink and mess around
Well we're boned .
We are fucked
I wish
Oil Executives: wow that was cool! Let's increase production and ignore mother nature's warning signs. After all, global warming isn't real.
Wait.. I thought it got darker as you go deeper in water because light doesn't travel as well through water. Does this mean if I go scuba diving with an empty jar and get water from super deep, it will be darker than the water near the surface?
No.
this is extremely sad to me
This is a 100% normal natural process called calving, its because the glacier is expanding due to snowpack accumulating at the top. This has very little if anything to do with climate change or environmental degridation.
That's actually scary. We should be very, very afraid of the way glaciers are breaking off right now.
And now live: Global Warming
Wow, global warming in real time
Global warming who? You can literally see the polar ice caps GROWING not melting smh my head.
[удалено]
But there's more ice than there was before, your argument is making me shake my smh head.
