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.

Micronesia plane crash Air Niugini now says one man missing after lagoon plane crash

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.

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

The airline and the U.S. Navy both said the plane landed in the lagoon short of the runway.

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.

And I flew over a lagoon with a shark in it, and that was the day that my comic strip about a shark was born.

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.

SOPAC claims it could be driven out of business by Blue Lagoon, which has won a five year contract to supply one of France's largest supermarket chains.

I went down to a remote lagoon in Australia, hoping to see the Earth the way it was three billion years ago, back before the sky turned blue.

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

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.

Senegal intends to set up sanitation networks in all secondary towns by 2010, including wastewater recycling and lagoon stations for the re use of processed water in agriculture and construction.

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

The airline operating a flight that crashed into a Pacific lagoon in Micronesia now says one man is missing, after earlier saying all 47 passengers and crew had safely evacuated the sinking plane.

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.

SOPAC has objected to a decision by the territorial Government to grant Blue Lagoon the same tax breaks it has benefited from for 20 years on the grounds that the market is too small for two producers.

The aquaculture industry, which mainly farms shrimp for export, has been ruffled by a dispute between the two largest producers, South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), which is subsidized by the French Government and the privately owned Blue Lagoon.

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.

The French Institute for Research and Development and research institutions in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru are conducting an Andean Glacier Monitoring Program A Tool to Analyze Global Climate Change in South America .

Jordan further states that additional damage is likely to have been caused by solid wastes in plastic bags, deposited directly into the lagoon or blown by the wind from the beach, and by the trampling of the coral reef by refugees.

Cartoonist Jim Toomey created the comic strip Sherman's Lagoon, a wry look at underwater life starring Sherman the talking shark. As he sketches some of his favorite sea creatures live onstage, Toomey shares his love of the ocean and the stories it can tell.

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.

They are swimming in the last chance lagoon. But so, too, could be the organizations that have presided over a breathtaking collapse of so many fisheries and left a once bountiful marine environment and the lives and livelihoods of many fishermen damaged and degraded in their wake.

Here's a mother and her two year old cub were traveling on a ship a hundred miles offshore in the middle of nowhere, and they're riding on this big piece of glacier ice, which is great for them they're safe at this point.

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.
