the nice thing is they'll forget there's a lot more news of background spots and business on the west side of the social media gallery officers in bill, in from me and the whole news team him by the name is the calls back. say thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. next, would it be nosy bay like good everyone to kings to check out the award winning called com. so hold back the

greenland ice sheet, hobbles, a secret, giving us a look into all future the path to that secret runs through these rivers of mount water, which form every summer and disappear every winter. the they 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 it 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'll quickly become part of the past. if you're not careful what's up and be ok 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 disappear. it may be that. so we'll say, well, it's happening now only now it's not just my little, well that's banishing the record.

8.8 meters. now this looks more beautiful price. jason box door today and jensen and alan hubbard. i'll be joining these 3 extraordinary professors and explore as on their expeditions, documenting what they find by the way to them. is it safe to walk just just, just you got to think about their weight and other with the next one this year. wow. see the snow birds here it's. it's not sick. no. and you stand on that you're just gonna fall in and you can see not easily 50 meters, although no, no, no, no, but by what snowbirds?

what, what you were standing on that wasn't say, you know, the, these, these take lives of the most scientists study the ice mount from un office using data from sensor lights, radar and computer models. but there's a lot we cannot determine that way. door to the adjacent and diamond believe it's necessary to study the process through the rank dumps, evasion, and field start is they call it ground truth full for to are soon that you can in fact is the fact the input you spent 20 years ago, you could go directly onto the ice from here. now you have to will quite fall to reach its normal golf when you, when you will, can ice, you want to climb its history. the down kind of say that, that,

that slice from the ice age, which is more than 11000 years old. and i'm gonna keep her own, tell his life to color dice younger than 11000 years from the integrated show periods. welcome or the east for for many reasons. so 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 risk lice here for over a decade now. so we have a pretty good idea about how this play c a b hayes. i think it's important to come here and make the measurements and just not sit for you on the desk and download your data or off some satellite the any real way to know

what's going on a device you should use to access it. you've got to drill holes, you're going to put sensors there in the you have to go down there and find that the a warm of wild also means a more humid weld with more precipitation. how will this affect the ice? how does most snow and rain affect the mounting process?

it show to have a huge impact 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 snow for 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 pouring 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

stuff through from the top or yeah, the top the come through. so far so good. can you get your spray bottle just where my hand is from the outside. jason, who's been on i have authority expeditions, researching the climax on the ice sheet. there's a come into. well, there's some that's coming through dammit. this is professor conrad steph. 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 honest old 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 on my 1st expedition. the objective is to see how much snow is falling during winter. this place is devoid of life. the wave 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. now. 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 not visible. now the in order to find out how big 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 that extra beat 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? 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 gcs of a, to use his show for yeah, definitely. it's 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 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 starts to happen. you begin to see the nuances. you notice that the ice rate actually sloan, submit 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 is still gas in here. so i'm just wondering, you know, the, we have to take this route to, to avoid this really bad curve. s, as in here,

here. then there jason enter. massage these measurements will be components and measurements gathered by a nasa airplane in 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 video 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 what makes you able to dig fast. it's either speed metal or of those to somehow but you know, it gives you the power to fix. know 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 that the snowing between that block. 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 in it stopped measuring on new years. it didn't record continuously, but these files are larger because if it's uh uh, it did measure continuously. it's just recording the data in bursts. so yeah, i think it's working. that's great. see. you have a yeah. yeah, i'm really happy put so much effort in to this work and you know it 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 basically feel kind of emotional after all that. all that preparation for this, this trip. tears of joy. a dollar a year, not 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 so, you know, maybe that's the weather we've been told about the hello, is this the match office? hi. um. yeah, i oppose the nice, you know, get a little disk. uh, this is 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. for 3 days. it's better for us right now when the wind is only one, 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 tense are really made for. that's why we make the wall, so we'll be okay. so the go down, because this layers are difficult so far the

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

the a little bit stronger building to about 40 knots. i have no idea how strong 40 not since 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 after 2 days, the storm suddenly stops the zip. someone flicked the switch. jason and massage. she can finish that final snowed rollings and i noticed that we can see walter for the 1st time. the end of green lens ice sheet. we made it to the final destination, the

safely. yeah. you made it safely. oh, it's my family saying that they missed me. it's my 7 year old. i love you dad. what are you do a type or a fly? i am waiting for helicopter jason's measurement show there's increased snowfall here. we can see that there is a gradual increase in uh, 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, all scientific calculations on how fast the ice is mounting and how quick 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 to come 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,

so if he's 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 hex there, there's going to be a 100 tons of hard to the is this going to change the. ready pressing in the wind, read a little bit about our personal company footprints and what we do. 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 or ice and ice coal research have taken up professor daughter daniel jensen's entire research life. oh, as jason puts it toward the seas, 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 that you can see the ice coincide. and now they're going to pull out the inner cobra. with the d, we have more than a t tons of ice and 20 kilometers device close here to provide some insight working through a history book. i could tell you a story about every folks we started. the

the, the don't to is one of the scientists who know the most about won't be ice, can tell us about climate history. the findings to this is that to the ice from the ice age, it's 11900 years old. each 9 represents the the spring of each year. the spring stores no spring dust with them and small app bubbles foam around the stuff like that. and some things they look a bit like champagne bubble in the spanish american when the snow falls to the ground and is cold between snowflakes. as low as snow falls last upon designer of snow is press downward kilometer by kilometer the pressure 10 snow into lice which encapsulates the into tiny bubbles that by

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

the ice is in constant motion gliding, flowing and stretching down hill towards the coastline. only now do i begin to realize that you can see where it flows the fastest? by looking at the surface, there are carnes flowing through gremlins frozen sea. similar to the ones found in the wilds, oceans ice flows. 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 iso 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 a year, so that's about 40 meters a day. if you stand out that you can actually see the ice flowing, it's unique probably the only place in the world's way. you can see this the nobody can put landscape of yes. so it is like

a lunar landscapes here because the ice has withdrawn and the speed of the ice flow has increased. or how does the um, what do we have the life know when the ice recedes, life appears on the 1st knife to appear in this desolate in byron place and the recently fried from the ice me every only slow behaves differently. that much door to knows this one had initially double that speed. oh, need to slow down again. we don't know why it's doing that. do 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. this is the sample photos coverage model as predict the sea levels will rise 60 centimeters in copenhagen, denmark, assuming that they include

a margin of era of 60 centimeters. this 5 foxes to this means the city sea levels could change anywhere from 0 to one point to meet his own. that's amounts of variation poses a serious problem of a student demo and warning you call that balance of the mounting in greenland takes place on the coast, the other half through ice streams baton talked to the largest ice mass on us. it's so cold that nothing mounts on the surface of the last in ice mass on on talk to is the full cost only by ice floes. everything we learn on green lens can be applied to on top to cut the 40 percent of the world population lives by an ocean and $230000000.00 people live at 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, or where people should live. scientists believe it's the water underneath the ice that affects the speed with which the ice is moving. on my next expedition of join professor island hubbard, as he explores this very phenomenon, the or the
