the steps and use all around us, but to stay with us for off night stop. the phone takes us to 3 minutes to engineering fishes such as well. thank you so much for being with us. the . the goldsmith. i'm not seeing in the late seventy's shlomo smiles. now mexico stuff bought the man who had to maintain him to use like to voc, no was date. was it suicide? the evidence raised has done what really happened? starts january 27th on dw, the

gremlins ice sheet hobbles, a secret, giving us a look into all future the, the pump to that secret runs through these rivers of mount water, which form every summer and disappear every winter, the drain into holes, gold moving around or this one is believe to continue hundreds of meters down into

the ice. and that's where on going the south. you can hear the water. it's lowered, right? so that's what's fun about it. the, the ice is melting. sea levels are rising. we will know event, but no one knows just how fast that is happening, even though that may be the most dudgeon question to answer right now the,

i want to go down that home together with some scientists to learn about the future . yes, but you will quickly become part of the past. if you're not careful, the looks of them be okay. following, i don't really have much experience with climbing on ice as a filmmaker, i know more about cameras, white balance, and depth of field as a child, i had a place where i could be all by myself. the world of my own, the bulk behind a home where i lived a when every day. oh yeah. one expeditions deep into unknown territory. the in one day

they started building town houses that was outraged when they started cutting down trees. they continued building, even though i took the key to the trailer and threw it in the lake to sabotage. they walk my well disappeared. it may be that so say what's happening now only now it's not just my little well that's banishing the from the port the number is

8.8 meters. now this looks more beautiful price jason box door today and jensen and alan habit. i'll be joining these 3 extraordinary professors and explore as on their expeditions, documenting what they find by the way it season. is it safe to walk just just, just you got to think about there, but in other words, the next one is you see the silver. it's here it's, it's not sick. nope. and you stand on that you're just gonna fall in and you can easily 50 meters or no, no, no, no, no. somebody puts us. no bridge. well,

what you were standing on that was the say, you know the, these, these take lives. the most scientists study the ice mount from un office using data from satellites radar and computer models. but there's a lot we cannot determine that way. door to jason, and i'm believe it's necessary to study the process through the rank jumps of asian and field studies. they call it ground truth full for 2 or soon document factors. the fact the employees, the neutral 20 years ago, you could go directly onto the ice from here. now you have to vote quite fall to reach it or no. my god please. when you will, can i see will to climb its history. see the dog. i say for that that slice from

the ice age, which is more than 11000 years old. i'm gonna keep her own top is lice a color dice younger than 11000 years from the intake glacial periods. welcome. or the east for for many reasons. but then you can stand with one, like in the, i say jesus, i'm with the other, like in the integration period like this. i'm standing here. it's a very dramatic moment in climate history. or this is just one instrument of many. here we've been studying this place here over a decade now. so we have a pretty good idea of a higher display, see, it behaves. i think it's important to come here and make the measurements and just not sit behind the desk and download your data rocks on the satellite the any real way to know what's going on

a device you use to access it. you've got to drill holes. you've got to put sensors there and then you have to go down there and find that the, the, the home of weld also means a more humid weld with more precipitation. how will this affect the ice? how does most snow and rain affect the melting process?

it sure to have a huge impacts on the future climate, but we don't have much data on it. the one of the few scientists who study the relationship between increased rain and snowfall is professor jason box. well, this is getting really big. the way that we can check the fly is this idea of pouring water over a water? oh yeah. well the flood the parchment. yeah. not too much water, but we want to check if uh, if this repair job has worked slow and he is like rain

comes through from the top or yeah, the top does come through so far, so good. can you get your spray bottle just where, where my hand is from the outside. jason, who's been on i have a 30 expeditions researching the climate on the ice sheet. there's data. well, there's some that's coming through dammit. this is professor conrad stuff and jason's mental, early in his career a pioneer in climate research. jason was one of the office of the you and climate change report that was awarded the nobel peace prize in 2007. we really don't know a lot about just how much rain falls, how much snow is there. rain can damage the snow. it can accelerate the melting process. and the so you see right now,

this is bare ice back here. it's dark, it absorbs a lot of sunlight. if you have a 6 know cover, and we think that climate warming is bringing more snow. so that actually has a protective effect on the ice. but at the same time, there's more rain. so we have to also record how much rain is falling into make sense about the competition between these 2 forms of h 2? 0 it's. it's kind of an untold story. i think it'll become a hot topic for other scientists. during the winter, precipitation falls as snow layer upon land settling as a thick cover on top of the ice, essentially protects the ice from the heat of the sun, the

the, the time of my 1st expedition. the objective is to see how much snow is falling during winter. this place is devoid of life the we will be staying here for 12 days. moving towards the coast on skis in slants along the way. we'll stop many times a day to drill into the ice. accompanying

us is jason's friend and research connie massaging the wall. no. i've marked in my book these 2 areas that are risky. so there's one kilometer which crosses where we go over this rich. as i clearly remember the crevasses jason had shown me, they don't visible now the in order to find out how fix the cover of snow is the scientist must drill through the snow until they strike ice. the

we had to dig this little bit because we got more snow here that we were expected. we, we didn't bring enough drill equipment to go that just extra read or $330.00 . it's a total that yeah. the they need to do numerous know, drilling is a day to obtain a reliable scientific result. do we get agreement between the 2 course? not a good 30 minutes. ok, let's take one more. pretty impressive cantavon collective knowledge about the state of the ice sheet. stems from data gathered using a primitive drill,

a plastic bag and the kitchen scale. we set up camp here, sleeping 100 kilometers out on the ice sheet on top of a mattress of frozen water, one kilometer think the, the gc, the video, and so forth. yeah, definitely people to make good japanese down there. yeah. i hope the

it shouldn't be this warm here today. it's like summer conditions in the middle of april. think about all of this landscape absorbing all of this extra heat. hard not to feel that something really is happening here. it's like a kind of like a disaster in slow motion. it's

i call it the burden of awareness. it's the opposite of ignorance is bliss. when you become aware of what's happening with climate change, you don't sleep good at night. whoa . if you stay here long enough, something interesting stops to happen. you begin to see the nuances. you notice that the ice rate actually sloan so bad, that it isn't one giant find plant to that it actually pillows up and down. you can see that the wind has shaped the surface of the ice like waves,

frozen in time. it looks like a photograph of an ocean, an ocean that might soon be back in motion. the frozen still gas in here. so i'm just warming up the we have to take this route to avoid these really bad crew boxes here and here. here,

there jason and a massage these measurements will be compared to measurements gathered by a nasa airplane of the hands on research is meant to amend these laser measurements . it's, it's a very small piece of, of, of the puzzle. but i think that image that's forming is coherent. i've been working on that image for 2 decades now and it's, it's a, it's an image of a changing environment. the

i do everything that i can to inform, the climate change issue. and that's for the sake of my daughter and all the other kids in nature that surrounds the jason's gps unit indicates one of his weather station sharpie. right here, right here somewhere. the baby over here. the

the, this is what this thing is. 3 meters fall. standing on the ice. i just now need to dig down meter and a half or so to get the memory, it's hard. the, you know, it makes you able to do the best. it's either speed metal or of those to somehow but you know, it gives you the power to sticks. no not if you really want to measure a small change is happening on the ice. you must do your observations at the same hour every day, all year round. this measuring station measures the level of snow every 4

hours. if it's working properly, it won't get jason honey accurate snowfall data. it's a new technology. measures neutrons reading down on the planet from space and the snow in between it blocks some of the neutrons. expensive information here. i don't yet know if this equipment is working. it's really important because the models and the satellite measurements, they cannot capture this kind of thin layer of snow to understand how quickly the green that i see, there's no thing we have to do this. oh, let's see many files here that's good. and the dates

are starting when i remember this is 30th of august last year. when we started it is it stopped measuring on new years. it didn't record continuously. but these files are larger because if it's uh, it did measure continuously. it's just recording the data in verse. so yeah, i think it's working. that's great. so you have a yeah. yeah, i'm really happy that i put so much effort in to this work and you know, the

a lot of times it feels like it's just pure effort in your you're wasting your time but seems to be working. so makes you feel kind of emotional after all that, all that preparation for this, this trip. tears of joy. with all of that information, we can learn a lot about a process, ease of melt, how much damage that can do to the snow in the ice. we didn't know that before the, the thing about ices, you have to listen and, and it will reveal its secrets. and the way that we listen is with these recording devices. and then it tells us the story,

the some high clouds to see that maybe that's the weather the we've been told about the hello is this the match office? hi. um, i oppose the nice, you know, get a little disk. uh, this is uh uh e denmark. uh and uh,

we are on the inland dice request uh whether prognosis of the 10 meters per 2nd in the morning and 18 meters per 2nd in the afternoon. which means it's better for us right now when the wind is only lighting, much lighter to build a wall to take the force of the wind. cause 18 meters per 2nd is i think a little bit more than these 10 are really made for that's why we, we make the wall so will be ok. really. the go down because this layers are difficult so far,

the icon help that's think about what would happen if i'm 10. so ripped apart relying here in the middle of the ice sheet is nothing but honest sleeping bags. okay . 25 knots in the morning. and gusty,

the of the word to be stronger. building to about 40 knots. i have no idea how strong faulty nonsense i'm given a situation. i'm not about to ask the the do you want more coffee?

looks like we're getting through all you can really do is sit inside the tent the after 2 days. the storm suddenly stops the zip some on. flick the switch. jason, i'm associate can finish that final snow drawings. and i notice that we can see walter for the 1st time to the end of greenland ice sheet. we made it to the final destination, the

safely made it safely. oh, it's my family saying that they miss me. it's my 7 year old. i love you, dad. what are you do a type of fly? i am waiting for helicopter, the jason's measurement show as increased snowfall here. we can see that there is a gradual increase in snowfall, like 20 percent more snow fall since $1840.00. the snow helps protect the ice, but at the same time this increased rain phone to which destroys the protective layer of snow. the rain is winning the competition. jason talked about

so far uh, scientific calculations on how fast the ice is mounting and how quickly the sea levels will rise. that's not accounted for this effect of increased snow and rain for the the more c o 2 emissions reductions. now we have it, it buys us time, delaying the time that hundreds of coastal cities become flooded because the ice seats are melting, irreversibly. we're buying time and saving lives. the for the last 5 years, jason has been planting a forest in greenland. he wants to offset the c o 2 footprint of his research on

the ice. while the mature tree will have a 100 p lowes of carpet in it, which is about half of the bio mass is carbon. so in this a heck there, there is going to be 100 tons of hard to the it's going to change the pricing in the wind really makes this thing personal company footprints. and what we did, you know, i think most people are very eager to just give a hand to do something. we have to do a lot of small steps in on directions. yeah . you know,

this is something that we can do to take yeah, i mean, we're not gonna drop down all of our carbon, but this is something that we can do. and we all need to start doing something and not just talking about it. it seems like it fits well. hopefully i hope to come again. see if it has grown into a big tree ice and ice coal research have taken up professor daughter daniel jensen's entire research life. oh, as jason puts it toward it, she's very much about science with a capital s. big science. for the last 20 years, daughter has been leading one of the world's most ambitious scientific projects. far out on the ice. together with

a group of 50 danish and international scientists, she is drilling about 2500 meters down into the ice to gain an understanding of what happens inside the ice as well. 8. so now you'll see the ice coincide. and now they're going to pull out the, in a call with the we, we have more than a tons of ice and 20 kilometers the vice course here to provide you some insight working through a history book. i can tell you a story about as low as snow falls, that upon layer of snow is press downward kilometer by kilometer the pressure 10 snow into weiss, we which encapsulates the into tiny bubbles thereby possessing it from the time

when the snow fell thousands of years ago the basically when you look at the snow from the last 5000 to use the sea when humans began influence the same, the climate. so we can see more and more met cheery in the ice. there are many ways you can measure the impact of human activity. the it is a big difference between the ice here, which is almost without crevices on the front to die so that the ice over here is moving most likely than the ice back. that

the ice is in constant motion gliding, flowing and stretching downhill towards the coast. line only now do i begin to realize that you can see where it flows the fastest? by looking at the surface, there are a current flowing through gremlins frozen sea. similar to the ones found in the wilds, ocean's ice floes. when the ice reaches the coast, it breaks off into the see the, there's much we don't yet know about the streams of ice,

but we do know they are responsible for huff at the well to last device. tough. what you're seeing here is the quickest. i slow on the planets. this place here once traveled. that's 7 kilometers. yeah. that's no longer the case. now the speed is about 12 kilometers. yeah. so that's about 40 meters a day. if you stand out the, you can actually see the ice flowing. it's unique probably the only place in the wells way you can see this the nobody can put landscaping here. so it is like

a lunar landscapes here because the ice has withdrawn and the speed of the ice flow has increased hot. and what do we have that life know when the ice recedes, life appears on the 1st knife to appear in this desolate and byron place, and the recently fried from the ice every only slow behaves differently. that much door to knows. this one had initially double the speed. oh, need to slow down again. we don't know why it's doing that. you take the, the surprised us because the temperatures on green end rising steadily my much so that's why it's so difficult to understand the ice floes is this, the sample flows coverage model is predict the sea levels will rise 60 centimeters in copenhagen, denmark, assuming that they include

a margin of era of 60 cents and meters. this 5 foxes to this means the city sea levels could change anywhere from 0 to 1.2 meters of home. that's the amount of variation poses a serious problem of a city demo. and warning you call that balance of the mounting in greenland takes place on the coast, the other hoss through ice streams, baton talked to cut, the largest ice mass on us is so cold that nothing mounts on the surface of the last in ice mass on, on talked to is that foreclosed only by ice floes. everything we learn on queens and can be applied to and talked to the 40 percent of the world population lives by an ocean. and 230000000 people live less than one meter above sea level. we have no idea how high dams will need to be to protect these populations. what i

show lines will need to look like a web people or should live scientists believe it's the water underneath the ice that affects the speed with which the ice is moving. for my next expedition of join professor island hubbard, as he explores these very phenomena, the, [000:00:00;00]
