Melt down into the ice. this is a historic moment. the first time anyone has tried to drill down through this glacier. beneath the 600 metres of ice below me is the most important point of all, the point at which the ice meets the ocean water. for the first time ever, scientists could take measurements under the ice, to the surprise of some local creatures. they sent down ice fin, a remotely operated robot submarine, packed with scientific instruments. oh—ho—ho! yes! what we could see is that instead of this kind of flat ice that we had all pictured, there were all kinds of staircases and ...

Level going to be like in ten years, this glacier is the place to be. boilers turned snow into water. hot water was used to melt down into the ice. for the first time ever, scientists could take measurements under the ice, to the surprise of some local creatures. they sent down ice fin, a remotely operated robot submarine, packed with scientific instruments. oh—ho—ho! yes! what we can see is instead of this flat ice that we all pictured, there were all kinds of staircases and cracks in the ice that weren't really expected. a team from the british antarctic survey using different instrument...

That we all pictured, there were all kinds of staircases and cracks in the ice that weren't really expected. a team from the british antarctic survey using different instruments also found that the overall melt rate was lower than expected. it showed how sensitive the glacier is to even small changes in sea water temperature. what the results show us is you don't increase the rate that much to drive a very fast retreat. so has the glacier passed a tipping point where collapse becomes inevitable? our observations don't necessarily tell us that, but what it does tell us is how the ice shelf is c...

By by taking ice for an under the ice we can actually go right up in marriage are exactly for the melting is going on. but we can see is instead of this flat eyes that we all pictured, they are all kinds of staircases and cracks in the ice that weren't really expected. a team from the british antarctic survey using different instruments also found that the overall melt rate was lower than expected. it showed how sensitive the glacier is to even small changes in sea water temperature. we know from satellite to retreating very quickly. but the results show us is _ very quickly. but the results s...
