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

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

That's the retreat of this glacier.

We're now at the Columbia Glacier in Alaska.

Brown Glacier, Heard Island, had retreated by 50 metres over three years, with the lower slopes of the glacier having lost as much as 11 metres in thickness, while Collins Glacier, King George Island, retreated by some 200 metres between 1987 and 2005.

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

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.

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

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

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

According to scientists, in 100 years all the mountain glacier will be gone.

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

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

Like Al Gore told you, two billion people live on the water from the glacier of Himalaya.

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

This lake has been formed in the last couple of years because of the melting of the glacier.

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

The Himalayan glaciers have not stopped losing mass, although they are losing it at a somewhat slower rate than before. Evidence collected on 466 glaciers by the Indian Space Applications Center from 1962 to 2004 shows a 21 loss of glacier area and a 30.8 of glacier volume.

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

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

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

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

And that flow, that flow of life, from the very base up to the very top, is the flow that ecologists see.

This measures dynamic blood flow and therefore energy flow within the brain.

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.

For India, the Chinese incursion also threatens its access to the 6,300 meter high Siachen Glacier, to the west of Depsang. Pakistan claims the Indian controlled glacier, which, strategically wedged between the Pakistani and Chinese held parts of Kashmir, served as the world s highest and coldest battleground (and one of the bloodiest) from the mid 1980 s until a cease fire took effect in 2003.

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.

Research networking and collaborative efforts in the areas of glacier monitoring, climate studies in Antarctica, and regional databases for monitored environmental parameters are important developments for many Parties.

I was on Bowman Lake in Glacier National Park, which is a long, skinny lake with sort of mountains upside down in it, and my partner and I have a rowing shell.

And these cameras are positioned on rocks on the sides of the glaciers, and they look in on the glacier from permanent, bedrock positions, and they watch the evolution of the landscape.
