We're now at the Columbia Glacier in Alaska.

This is pitched on a glacier at 17,500 feet.

That's the retreat of this glacier.

This glacier has doubled its flow speed in the past 15 years.

The one glacier up in Greenland that puts more ice into the global ocean than all the other glaciers in the northern hemisphere combined is the Ilulissat Glacier.

And to the right hand side of us was this great Khumbu Glacier.

And all the way along the glacier we saw these big pools of melting ice.

But this glacier caved into the water and a seal got on it.

When I meet a glacier for the very first time, what do I do?

History Lake Constance was formed by the Rhine Glacier during the ice age and is a zungenbecken lake.

Locations On Earth, the only continent where the ice cap polar climate is predominant is Antarctica.

No. It was retreating through the winter because it's an unhealthy glacier.

Okay. We had a team out watching this glacier, and we recorded the biggest calving event that's ever been put on film.

May 21, Grímsvötn, Iceland's most active volcano, erupted and caused disruption to air travel in Northwestern Europe.

Gasherbrum is a remote group of peaks located at the northeastern end of the Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram range of the Himalaya on the border of the Chinese administered Shaksgam Valley and the Gilgit Baltistan territory of Pakistan.

You see the glacier flowing in from the right, dropping off into the sea, camera shooting every hour.

The main stem, the main flow of the glacier is coming from the right and it's going very rapidly up that stem.

And once again, it's this invitation that asks people to lay down on the glacier and give it a hug.

This very basic shift in my physical orientation helped me shift my perspective in relation to the glacier.

That means that glacier's floating and it's unstable, and you're about to see the consequences of that floating.

If you look in the middle background, you can see the calving face bobbing up and down like a yo yo.

But, in any case, the deflation of this glacier since 1984 has been higher than the Eiffel Tower, higher than the Empire State Building.

They actually have these buses that drive up and over the lateral moraine and drop people off on the surface of the glacier.

And just as with the wall, how I wanted to be more wall like, with this project, I'd actually like to take more a of glacial pace.

They are mostly verdant, although one side of the highest peak, Corno Grande is partially covered by Calderone glacier, the only glacier in the Apennines.

3300 Bronze Age starts in Indus Valley (Harappa) c. 3300 BC Ötzi the Iceman dies near the present day border between Austria and Italy, only to be discovered in 1991 buried in a glacier of the Ötztal Alps.

It was first recorded near the Beardmore Glacier by Frank Wild on the Nimrod Expedition, and now low grade coal is known across many parts of the Transantarctic Mountains.

And so since we use devices to figure out how to relate to the world these days, I actually made a device called the Glacier Embracing Suit.

And so glaciers are these magnificent beings, and there's lots of reasons to be obsessed with them, but what I'm particularly interested in is in human glacier relations.

It's kind of like an Andean Woodstock 60,000 Indians on pilgrimage to the end of a dirt road that leads to the sacred valley, called the Sinakara, which is dominated by three tongues of the great glacier.

It includes features such as the Tasman Peninsula the Tasman Bridge the Tasman Highway the Tasman Sea in New Zealand the Tasman Glacier Tasman Lake the Tasman River Mount Tasman the Abel Tasman National Park Tasman Bay the Tasman DistrictAlso named after Tasman are Abel Tasman Drive, in Takaka.

These curves for global temperature, atmospheric CO2 and sea level were derived from ocean cores and Antarctic ice cores, from ocean sediments and snowflakes that piled up year after year over 800,000 years forming a two mile thick ice sheet.

Artist Kate Hartman uses wearable electronics to explore how we communicate, with ourselves and with the world. In this quirky and thought provoking talk, she shows the Talk to Yourself Hat , the Inflatable Heart , the Glacier Embracing Suit , and other unexpected devices.

Although, research in the areas are similar with research undertaken into both the dynamics of ice sheets and glaciers the former tends to be concerned with the interaction of ice sheets with the present climate and the latter with the impact of glaciers on the landscape.

And one crazy day, I got the idea that I should after that assignment was finished I got the idea that I should shoot in time lapse photography, that I should station a camera or two at a glacier and let it shoot every 15 minutes, or every hour or whatever and watch the progression of the landscape over time.

The journey from a small weather station on the north coast of Siberia up to my final starting point, the edge of the pack ice, the coast of the Arctic Ocean, took about five hours, and if anyone watched fearless Felix Baumgartner going up, rather than just coming down, you'll appreciate the sense of apprehension, as I sat in a helicopter thundering north, and the sense, I think if anything, of impending doom.
