7:15 pm
calls from the u. s. volt palestinian states. so it's as you also said, israel with not scaled back it's offensive and gaza until it has destroyed how much and that's it. from the evidence team for an hour. i'll have an update at the top of the alex got out of the can you see what old car has to do with the production? here's a heads up. so the real me indeed the snow on youtube, the 40 percent of the world population lives by an ocean and 230000000 people live at
7:16 pm
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 where people are, 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 that was the food up there. it looked like from india and i have some also to make sure you bring us plenty. yeah. have you paid? looked at it. yeah. i think you think there's forensic, i know the ok if you spring that's cool and that's fine because i was going to get
7:17 pm
assigned to study the ice in different ways. but those who examined it by climbing down into it can be counted on one hand. island is one of them. for the past 15 years, he has spent more than 3 months a year on the ice. and when i aust don't about him, she says, i think it's all the time you can have the cold in the calm and quiet guy. ok, so he's known for doing extreme things like working in the mood now. i need to get with them. he's fascinated by, whoops, here in tyson, and he discovers things we're going to be very big florida inside or outside we'll say the site is all a complete surprise. yeah,
7:18 pm
this is cross cones go a full my pilot of the royal danish and forced chief instructor for survive old training on the greenland ice sheet. klaus is responsible for all safety on this expedition of why should i be the final thought of mr. walk legitimate to say, oh, if you know you also know you come and it will be scared to be, they'll just approach it all with respect to you guys. you'll see we take this very seriously. we have our equipment, or we check it again. and again, if i might pester you sometimes, but everything has to be right when we go down and you'll be more on your own than in train and come with it, there is no one to come and get you. something goes wrong during their and the, your, on your own file, i mindfully the,
7:19 pm
a little fungi, the, you know, that tingling feeling you get, and you'll bailey, when you're about to do something exciting. that's what i'm feeling right now. the,
7:20 pm
the, the the, there is several big moonlight in this area. this one is the biggest, the we have 5 days to reach the bottom of that. how the plan is we make the big send up here of this leaving sam's down here and the fall, it over there. we'll climb a little deeper every day. you didn't climb down into the, on the, in one day were a bad 50 k o me and dice fain to this region of the sheet before
7:21 pm
and done some surveys of the movie land around here. and they have to participate in this region. yeah, hopefully we're not going inside today, right. we've just checking in with them. i'm a look. see what we're in for. i have a right to you. right. of the every summer snow and ice melt along the rim of the ice sheet the mount towards the foam, saw file, blue, lakes and rivers. the water flows
7:22 pm
downwards. finding small cracks and crevices. you only need a little bit of water before it will create a big hole, a move walter digs deep and wide to the water entering the ice becomes part of the in a structure of the glass. yeah. the water flows from the surface into the ice and then towards the sea, the it acts as a lubricant causing the eyes to move it as a greatest beats. imagine ice cubes on
7:23 pm
a wet table. the more water the bank today slide, the researchers of assumed meltwater on the escapes. the ice seems late to summer, leaving the bottom of the ice drained of water in the winter. without meltwater the ice slides towards the ocean more slowly and keeps more of its mass, the level of a theory of highly how she moves has been developed from small palacio is in the scandinavia, the alps. i'm rarely there comes a point where those theories no longer hold when you have big ice sheets and the very fat cause. recent measurements indicate melbourne to remains under the ice even in winter. either the channel remains
7:24 pm
empty because to hold the mountain altered drains away. well, there was a smooth surface of frozen water table. if this is the case, then there may be liquid wants at both, and as well as in the ice. and water will run off in winter to, ah, predictions of how quickly sea levels will rise. would then be too optimistic, right? careful that never poses in this when you go see the crack them down here. just in front of you guys. you have to check it before it go cross. this could be snow also. okay. you don't know how far the crack ocean. okay. that's. it's actually the nice dangers time. it used to be up here in spring . the shapes of snow that usually covers everything well, but in all time you have a little dusting of snow and it hides things. but it's not strong enough to hold you away. it's actually a hard time to be
7:25 pm
a 5th. i think i'm able to see what you can come and have a look if you like. i enjoy the new foreigners and where i am. stay behind this point, all the info. you know, the today's plan is to study only the oper meters of the how we need to get a sense of how safe it is before we start descent.
7:26 pm
the we really have very little idea of the role of this and the role of these movements and never thousands and thousands of these across the whole i shape. we have a little bit of g, a physics data, the radar and the lights that we can send beams done to figure out what's going down here. we have lots of theories of biotech, atlanta, very few of the violations of it. and there's a good reason why there's no observe ations, but cuz that's quite strange and intimidating prices to go inside every glass. they all addressed almost failed, likely all the just to verify the adventure. and this is what it suffice for me. that's the beauty of ice. in glasses and studying with the
7:27 pm
what would be not an ice group the so you uh, i think all, you know, 10 years much pretty beautiful.
7:28 pm
okay. the of the huge riley back into the i'll do it in small steps as i think we will go that far today. we have no idea how deep the hole is. all we know is that we each have full, 200 meter long roads. klaus. i'll go down here. yes.
7:29 pm
okay. the, it's scary. it is. it makes it fun. yes. injuries are there to be cross. tried to turn to the right and lead time. the try to enjoy it. i knew is not easy. i need to calm down fast. will take it in small steps the
7:30 pm
. the icicles are drifting because it's so warm today. ok. the the island says there's a positive about 60 meters down the
7:31 pm
let's go look up a lot of stuff slowing down. so
7:32 pm
it's huge. if you drop something and listen, you can tell it still a long way down the of the i still can't see the bottom. it's ball deeper than expected. i think so. this is as far as we dad to go today, the chair must be 1520 makes is across the smooth land. so we're going to
7:33 pm
lower ourselves and then have an explore, see where it goes quite in 10 minutes. i think, i think you find it a little bit exciting to new boss. yeah. it's good to be in state places with good views. it gets uh, got rid of it. the cold winds cold calls. pretty crazy. the
7:34 pm
. it's a strangely sign in to morning. we will need that extra cup of coffee, crowns and dahlan have decided i shouldn't join them. the reason is simple. it's not cold enough and the ice is too dangerous us. i would have loved to assume that this sense but to be honest, i'm also a little relieved. the primary thing is i use that polls don't on, you know i, there are huge icicle starting there will try to avoid. i'm not nervous about the roots, but all the things that you can't control they do and the thing when it comes to you. how deep are you going to say to me right now? it looks like a 118 meters and that's as far as i knew,
7:35 pm
nobody has ever gone that deep into a 118 meters. so locked with as along the south, you know, going down new. what do you film it for me? sure. so here's the camera. i don't know if there was a scale for this, but if there is a scale from one to 5, what's this going to be? yeah, tips close to a 5 if know so 5, that's why we won't teach you a long. it's too dangerous, or is it meant by provided? i need the toilet. yes. or couldn't fail myself if i saw. it's going to get ready next week. i'm getting to know islands class. this morning . he's storing the,
7:36 pm
the, the i'm not worried about me. i'm worried about those people dependent on me. i've had a good life leverage. 53 lovely kid. i've heard a lot of fun and a lot of adventure. this been part of it for sure. sometimes i think. yeah. well i grow why? well, because i can't wait to have grandkids the
7:37 pm
i'm on the wrong no, it's solid. after a 175 meters cross reaches the bottom. but the many pieces of ice tell them it's not safe to be here. the
7:38 pm
greenland inland ice is usually not flat. it's cracked, fence and broken. there's only one explanation for such a perfectly horizontal surface. state has found the frozen water table, the
7:39 pm
oh, how long does the same i've ever done? it's just how do i can dive in here as i, we're going to get all this incredible is right there. go like organ parts. it is just like nice to own cathedral samples. so massive audits and part of it was 2 months ago. and what we've landed on here is the water table shape i want to express the, the other side of the
7:40 pm
video rumbler i guess we're gonna jump it looked very on the plan was to drill through the frozen water table to see if there was liquid water below it, but due to the warm temperature, it's simply too dangerous to be down here. and it will take alan and klaus 2 hours to get back to the top. the of the we have to come back when it's colder and the ice is safer. only then will it
7:41 pm
be possible for island to carry out these measurements and test these hypothesis that there is a liquid water down down. what i find is really interesting that the water table is so high theory says if it's working properly, it should drain a lot water away. but it's not our predictions, but we'll see that we're always could be quite a bit off. that's a complete disaster for the coastal regions of the planet. ready the
7:42 pm
i receive a short text telling me to call immediately. it's from jason who is in greenland to work one of the oldest research stations in greenland called swiss. com. is that with his friend and mental professor, comrade steph. and the, the temperature still looks the range is not that tech, but that can download to data easily. but i don't know why i need to call hey lar center. i'm on my way home cuz i was ordered home by my employer family. so here on an airport,
7:43 pm
i said source and we, we lost connie. at this point, i should probably explain who professor i should have them is called a hutch deaf and connie, as jason calls him, was the person who got jason into studying greenland. gracie is a dying sheet. he's been a research of a faulty is collecting data before anyone else even thought about how the climate affects the ice. a fast. i can't wrap my head around what has happened. but connie is dead. he were working next to and he said, when we last saw him, i'm gonna go and check the data. he just pulled a memory card from weather station hours go by. we start to wonder where he is going look for him. didn't find him in his tent.
7:44 pm
we go into emergency mode, spend hours and hours like turning the camp upside down. we call to the search and rescue. the royal danish air force they fly in. they're taking and for red. and the high resolution pictures of the camp they were, they were circle, i need to cancel. i'm looking for footsteps. by the next morning we had put enough pieces of logic together to focus on one place. and we sent the ice cavers down or sure enough that there is
7:45 pm
a busted open floor to provide that is got water underneath and is clear evidence that something destroyed lice layer. and then it says water. the thing is that in the cold, fresh water, you're not gonna floats. we didn't know his location until it was far too late. but i think there's so many people love love to come on the board. so many people in here was the visionary for climate. he started his measurements before greenland was the headlines
7:46 pm
the literally st rescue workers showed their respect a contract stuff and he meant a lot to them to the the the
7:47 pm
i liked when you were saying the other day to about the difference between risk and hazard and i actually had to was actually good moving with the difference between the risk and hazard and so hazard is something that has the potential for harm. and then the risk is the probability that something actually would happen. i really know that you guys take those risk seriously and i can't imagine myself ever saying you can't go back there because yeah, let's get the data we are taking kind of a higher level of safety now that the accident yeah. has happened it's. it's
7:48 pm
a reminder, yeah, that we because has, there's exist the, the thing is i feel somehow even stronger than ever that i have to go back. that's to continue these measurements that we started. i think that my life isn't too important to not take that risk. and i, i know that, like connie, people will say that this was a place where,
7:49 pm
you know, i'm dedicating my life and, and that's what connie did, the, [000:00:00;00] the, we are back at the big moonlight and it is much cold at this time. the
7:50 pm
least time allan has brought along a friend, francesco soto, a geology professor. the question is whether we will still find a frozen water table this time around. and if we can stay long enough to drill through it to see if there was liquid water underneath, weren't exactly the same spot. so i'm gps position looks very different. but the devil is in the detail. the devil is always in the measurements, the field measurements, and every time we look at the systems are always so much more. the complex and far more interesting scientific, please. the office
7:51 pm
the, this time the moon winds its way down like a spiral staircase, with various chambers off to the side, the be ready ready?
7:52 pm
completed the task. got to be careful. wire. fast cries, ice. quite crazy. to become around the corner. we've got another end, right? so it's a total of 6 to meet of the
7:53 pm
the good. yeah, we have all the it's really warm as well. where the water it's from the summer now. i mean, randy, you wouldn't want to fall off in it, but it's not cold. the temperature, the temperature range, ac dogs don't that the, you have a wireless wired system, temperature, water pressure on me for instances and hopefully that working
7:54 pm
but your fingers might be the water table. yeah. to be, i think you're the is incredibly weak. so it's not a matter of the of the that was to the drain the way of the end of the summer. but as it contains energy over windsor releases that energy into the ice around and then lowered this interior region to continue to accelerate. not just in the summer, but also in the winter. there's no going back on very,
7:55 pm
very difficult to bicycle environment back. nothing other than an ice age is the we found mount water inside the ice, which is new and important information. it might be that the ice contains huge amounts of liquid, want to that final ice as melted the even our best model, as i predicted in the lifespan of our children, temperatures and sea levels will rise files to and foster until the world might
7:56 pm
well become unrecognizable. one seems like a doomsday scenario from a science fiction story is becoming reality. we must listen. so the scientists those who say we have no time to waste the nature is trying to tell us something the,
