I almost feel privileged to watch this video. Not only because of its subject matter and the importance of it, but the level of quality and effort that was put into it from the people it covers to the film makers.
We can all pay Aidin back by making sure these messages reach as many as possible, all the time - how can we do this without the paywall? Nice and appreciated.
You can hear in Dr. Pelto’s voice and see in his face even through the sunglasses how sad he is to lose the ice. The 50% decease 2 years in a row is heartbreaking. I’ve watched all your other videos and know you’re passionate about this too. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
That is what happens as ice ages draw to an end .....the ice melts.... Soon we will pass solar max and head back towards the ice age and ice will return again as it always has done many time before in this ancient cycle ........
This is not about the end of an ice age, that ended long ago, this is about the man induced warming driving glacier retreat around the world. About half of the glaciers we work on were advancing 50 years ago.
@@AidinRobbinshow come you haven't wvwr herd of thw milankovitch cycle kid ? The ice comes and goes because of the sun cycles you Muppet........ always has and always will. Some mens narsasistic tendancies cant accep this fact 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm an Archaeologist in my second year at my local university, one day I'd love to contribute my knowledge. Just like you point out beautifully however, we don't have much time and debates about science and whether it is important have given rather troublesome results in some parts of our world. Great video, keep this up!
@@Just.A.T-Rex I have done fieldwork before, but I still have a year to go to receive my bachelor. We are archaeologists, we're just still in training.
Dr. Pelto is so passionate about his work, I just want to give him a hug and thank him for placing so much value in something so many of us ignore or disregard. Thank God he doesn't.
i love love love how they do art on top of the mountain besides doing the research and how it’s not being made fun of but honored and seen as just as important
As a glacier, I approve of this film. ☺ On a nerdy level, ice-core data are most valid from the inner plateaus of our two large ice sheets (and selected very high altitude ice-caps, not so much glaciers. There are several reasons for this: A) you do want minimum ice flow for the layers to stay intact and B) you really want to avoid any form of melting. This is because the delta of oxygen 16 over oxygen 18 of the water in the ice would percolate into the ice and wash out any signal. Secondly, if one has a melting season (normal on glaciers), the trapped gasses in the ice will be released in addition to other issues. They are still instrumental as climate archives though, giving us a detailed history of "The Holocene" in combination with all the other archives we have and are deciphering in ever finer detail. Kudos for being up to date (with Irvine's shoe) 👍 Finally, a huge kudos for this "humanistic" take on documentation and communication. We all know that science is pretty "heartless" by design with the most "artistic" output often being to summarize data in graphs. Science is hardly the only way to consider and relate to "change". As someone who has authored studies more than two decades ago concluding that Norwegian glaciers will be 99% gone (this is a technical term) by the end of this century, I wish I could grow impossibly old since I am very curious about how this will change the Norwegian national identity as well as Norway as a tourist destination. Both conjure up images of deep fjords rising up to glacier-clad mountains above as well as the barren mountain plateaus from which mountains rise up to harbour glaciers. These identity-forming imageries will be gone in 3-4 generations and I wonder what it will come to "mean" for the people. We are living in the period of "last chance to see" (by the way also the title of a fantastic book about the loss of wildlife by Douglas Adams (yes, the author of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)) that ironically supercharge global mass tourism, not exactly helping).
The Norwegian mountains will still be beautiful as the nearly glacier less Sierra Nevada are, but they lose mystique, become more approachable and less of a summer water resource.
Does the magnetic poles shifting have anything to do with why some glacier's accumulate or maintain while other's melt? It appears a lot of people remember local glacier's having melt cycle's whereas they've entered a non noticable stage whilst others were maintaining yet have started melting more noticeably.
@@sciji3118 Pole shifts generally don't affect the climate very directly. The only way I can see them influencing anything is the weakened magnetic field at the height of the shift allowing more radiation into the atmosphere. Ice sheets play a large role in reflecting the radiation that gets to the ground, so fewer glacier combined with pole shift could theoretically lead to warmer global temperatures. That being said, we honestly don't know that much detail about pole shifts other than that they happen regularly. Many of the assumptions about how it'll actually affect the planets magnetic field are just educated inferences.
this is the 4th video i think, that i’ve seen of yours. i only just found your channel yesterday when i decided to click on your video about the Appalachian rainforest, and i subscribed immediately! love your work, i’ll be watching your channel from now on🤗🤍
Your way of telling the story of whatever topic you are talking about is just incredible. I have no other words than "bravo, keep going and never change. Just evolve." The first video I've watched was the one about the Appalachian rainforest. I've been completely hooked and in awe of your channel and you as a creator ever since.
They werent really flash frozen, in most cases the animal drowned or was quickly buried in a den collapse or avalanche. In the case of the mammoth calf with preserved stomach contents, mud was found in her lungs so she probably drowned in a bog or the like. Digestion stops when you die, so the freezing didn't have to be instant. It probably took hours or days, but the calf was long dead by then.
@@evie133 really. So stomach acid stops being acidic the second one dies. And isn't able to digest delicate flower pedels. Sorry your explanation doesn't pass. Try again.

This story needs to be a segment in a national geographic magazine. It is very touching. Especially in a tough world where many things are forgotten everyday. From people to things, remembrance is the backing behind all in a way.
I think this is amazing! I’m studying earth science in college and we talk a lot about how science fails to communicate to the public. I think expressing data through art both in paintings and also in your videos are truly eye opening! Thank you aidin ❤️
This is actually incredible! Between the filmmaking, the consistency of such quality shots on the already difficulty feat of what it takes to hike and document something like this, to execute the story and all the talent of everyone involved. The tapestry art actually blew my mind. And loved the effort that went into the newspaper and photograph sequences. Most would have used after effects so to see it manually done was brilliant!
My soul feels pained knowing these are melting at such a rate…. We are so disconnected with our environment unfortunately. Thank you all for the work you’re putting in.
1799…. first five seconds of the video. Stuff was melting long before industrialization, and will freeze up again in the future. Climate cycles are not caused by humans, nor is human existence any more guaranteed than that of any of the countless species that have gone extinct on this planet. Complete hubris to think that we can change the climate or that it is meant to stay within the precise range that accommodates our existence. If it upsets you that much, throw your a lot in with Elon musk and try to get humanity off this planet as soon as possible. It is the only solution for our long-term survival.
its been happening since the beginning of planet . frozen defrost frozen defrost all over , with or without us it will still happening, we are just par of the earth, we are not as big as you thought we are . the earth will not care whether something missing from it . because all it did is spinning around .
I’m not even sure how I ran into this, but I have not seen a body of work so well done… my god please keep doing what you’re doing. It’s just fantastic. I will share this with whoever I can. I wish you well .
Your videos are such a beautiful way to share these important stories. You inspire me to go out and make my own videos to share the beauty of Nature. Thank you :D
Aidin you’ve done it again! You’ve made another amazing and very emotional video. I shared your TH-cam channel with my environmental media teacher, and she loved it and will be using it in her class next semester. Thank you so much for putting all the work into these videos for us.
Thank you for your years of dedication and documenting The Retreat of glaciers in my lifetime 60 years it's been a devastating retreat I'm sorry Mother Nature
It's so funny to see women hiking all the way up there, doing the science and topping it off with amazing art. Great to see people like this, and in videoform as amazing as they are. Love from the Norwegian arctic :)
Climate impacts scientist here... incredible piece, we are so in need of avenues beyond just science, like this amazing short film and like Jill's artwork. Thank you!
Incredible video! Thanks for your effort in creating it. The art pieces are stunning. I learned about Irvine and Mallory’s story from another great TH-cam video by EmpLemon called “The Everest Discrepancy.” It’s amazing they’ve found Irvine’s foot. Thanks for sharing this update.
I know this comment will probably be buried but I just want to say that you genuinely changed my perspective on earth. I only really saw it as a place I am, but after watching your videos Im reminded that not only is it just as temporary as us, but goes through just as many ups and downs. Earth is an ever change experience and there will always be things I haven't seen. earth isn't just the place I am. It's the place I live. Thank you for showing me that.
I’m forever grateful for this channel and these glimpses into beautiful and sometimes fleeting places and moments in time. Thank you Aidin, I really enjoy your work
I feel so horrible watching this, I wish with all my heart that more people could watch your videos and connect to this. The stories, the scale of it all. Our landscapes our dying, and our connection to it is dying with it. If I was standing where Dr. Pelto was at the end of the video, I’d have such a sense of melancholy. It’d feel fulfilled that I’d done such important work, but sad that governments around the world were still allowing this desecration to continue.
Also amazing work as usual, you are one of my favourite videographers. Thank you for continuing to educate me on so many amazing places, sharing their stories and the stories of the people trying to preserve them. I know you probably won’t see this, but sincerely, thank you.

@@colbaltkillers7337well, we're witnessing the destruction of an ancient area and culture and can't seem to stop even that 😢 I'm sad beyond measure for my grandson, I won't be here to see how we will be judged for our indifference to nature and humanity.
@@katiekane5247our indifference to humanity??? You couldn’t just stop at nature? I think you thought it would sound more intelligent by adding another word but the climate issue has nothing to do with our indifference to humanity. I would argue that our contributions to the “degradation” of our environment are primarily due to our inflated view of humanity’s importance, sacrificing everything else around us for our own comfort and convenience. The best thing we can do is realize that humans are no more important than earthworms or pigeons or any other living thing. For almost 200,000 years, Homo sapiens existed on this planet in harmony with nature.
What is happening to this planet is the normal pattern. We are currently in an ice age. We are moving into a warming event which has happened many times before before we head back into another cooling period. Nothing we do will stop that.
This was a beautiful video, pristine production quality and amazing story telling. I always look forward to you new videos and this is exactly the kind of video I could sit and watch hours of.
Beautiful filmmaking. The pacing was perfect and the way you brought out the humanity of the subjects was exceptional. And the cinematography…gorgeous. Excited to have found your channel.
This was different from many of your other videos, the inclusion of the relationship and shared experiences of the father and daughter, I relate to that in my life with my father, it was an emotional experience too. I would recommend you also watch, if you haven’t, Songs of Earth, a documentary about Norway from the experience of a family and the old man being the character who is relating it. I saw it at the cinema. Thanks Ashweena
another really great video on a topic i have already watched plenty of, and you still manage to maintain my interest with the amazing way you present information. 🐘
it makes me cry to see the sadness in his face, i have my places in the mountains where i grew up and just the fact i wont be going there as much makes me sad real bad, can’t imagine what he’s feeling watching his mountains disappear
I aspire to make documentaries like you! I really like these mysterious stories you cover and how your writing, cinematrography and color grading all sort of match the vibe. Keep up the great work 👍
Top notch as always, thank you for coming to our backyard and documenting this! Also wanted you to know I sat through that 10 minute apple ad at the beginning hoping it helps you with what little cut YT gives you haha, we need more creators like you.
Melting glaciers have exposed ancient microbes, bacteria, and viruses that have been dormant for centuries. Some of these microbes date back tens of thousands of years, potentially giving scientists insights into ancient diseases and the environmental conditions of the past. However, they also raise concerns about pathogens that modern ecosystems-and humans-have never encountered.
Stop believing the slop they feed you to live in fear and do your own research. The planet will be just fine, it's been through this many times. We're still in a ice age, something the mainstream media hate's to remind you.
Phenomenal film and I love the girls artwork! The one girls artwork was hanging by the ski pole and a rope blowing in the wind on a mountain top... Reminds me of the prayer flags hanging in the wind in the Tibetan mountains. 👍
Loved the video Aidan! I’m born and raised here and it’s really sad knowing that these glaciers are disappearing. I actually did a huge research paper in college on the retreating glaciers of the cascades and the NCGCP came in really handy for data and reports. It was cool seeing their work in action in this video. It seems like you have a big interest in glaciers and the ice age lately. If you’re interested, I think a future video you could do is on the Washington State scablands. It’s an area that you wouldn’t expect to be in the state and is a bizarre and ancient landscape.
Absolutely stunning visually,I can’t believe this on TH-cam😮Thank you so much for your fantastic channel and content,brilliant information without being condescending 😬🙏🏻
In light of the LA fires, I’ll never get to have picnics on Will Rogers State Beach like I used to ever again. The doc is right. That’s the part that hurts and will hurt the most going forward with our new reality. I hope my kids get to see some of the absolutely beautiful things I got to.
I almost feel privileged to watch this video. Not only because of its subject matter and the importance of it, but the level of quality and effort that was put into it from the people it covers to the film makers.

This was different from many of your other videos, the inclusion of the relationship and shared experiences of the father and daughter, I relate to that in my life with my father, it was an emotional experience too. I would recommend you also watch, if you haven’t, Songs of Earth, a documentary about Norway from the experience of a family and the old man being the character who is relating it. I saw it at the cinema.
Thanks

Thank you for such beautiful and important documentaries, Aidin. Really looking forward to seeing what you have in store next.
best channel on youtube.
The most beautifully nostalgic documentary I’ve ever watched 👏🏼
I love your documentaries! I wanna be a glaciologist, so i love this.
Amazing story and cinematography, thank you!
You have outdone yourself once again! The storytelling is powerful
another really great video on a topic i have already watched plenty of, and you still manage to maintain my interest with the amazing way you present information. 🐘
What a beautiful way to preserve history. Loved this video. 😊
Your videos are so visually stunning and emotionally moving, thank you to your team for all the time and energy involved!
Dude this is definitely better than television shows....great quality and effort put in, and yes the cameraman is amazing
⚘ Your caring and passion are evident with every frame of your videos. My. Goodness.
Another great piece! Thanks for telling these stories the way you do!
Addicted to your videos! Your talent and dedication is so amazing can’t wait for more!
Absolutely beautiful photography and editing. This was a great documentary.
Thank you for sharing! It's hard to believe how quickly the mountains with the glaciers are changing..
Your documentaries always make me wanna cry. Very beautifully told as always ❤️
just found your channel last night and i’m addicted, do more longer content please!
Astonishing work mate
Your storytelling is always so moving.
The quality production for this video of the frontier resesarch is just beautifully amazing. Documenting all this is something i want to strive to
it makes me cry to see the sadness in his face, i have my places in the mountains where i grew up and just the fact i wont be going there as much makes me sad real bad, can’t imagine what he’s feeling watching his mountains disappear
My My Sir Aidin! This brought my cluttered brain to standalone thoughts, the insanity of the video and the serenity is commendable!
I aspire to make documentaries like you! I really like these mysterious stories you cover and how your writing, cinematrography and color grading all sort of match the vibe. Keep up the great work 👍
Top notch as always, thank you for coming to our backyard and documenting this! Also wanted you to know I sat through that 10 minute apple ad at the beginning hoping it helps you with what little cut YT gives you haha, we need more creators like you.
These natural scientists are amazing! Thank you for all of your work!
Melting glaciers have exposed ancient microbes, bacteria, and viruses that have been dormant for centuries. Some of these microbes date back tens of thousands of years, potentially giving scientists insights into ancient diseases and the environmental conditions of the past. However, they also raise concerns about pathogens that modern ecosystems-and humans-have never encountered.
Stop believing the slop they feed you to live in fear and do your own research. The planet will be just fine, it's been through this many times. We're still in a ice age, something the mainstream media hate's to remind you.
I started watching yt 15 years ago for this type of content and I'm so glad it's making noise again ❤
Phenomenal film and I love the girls artwork! The one girls artwork was hanging by the ski pole and a rope blowing in the wind on a mountain top... Reminds me of the prayer flags hanging in the wind in the Tibetan mountains. 👍
Loved the video Aidan! I’m born and raised here and it’s really sad knowing that these glaciers are disappearing. I actually did a huge research paper in college on the retreating glaciers of the cascades and the NCGCP came in really handy for data and reports. It was cool seeing their work in action in this video. It seems like you have a big interest in glaciers and the ice age lately. If you’re interested, I think a future video you could do is on the Washington State scablands. It’s an area that you wouldn’t expect to be in the state and is a bizarre and ancient landscape.
I lost my self in this video for a good 20 minutes. Beautiful work!
Yours are by far my most anticipated videos to watch! Every one of them is incredibly interesting and captivating!
man you're just sitting right at the top! the best of best, much love and support you're such a big inspiration
This belongs on some streaming platform, genuinely hoping someone picks this up. Beautiful work!
Absolutely stunning visually,I can’t believe this on TH-cam😮Thank you so much for your fantastic channel and content,brilliant information without being condescending 😬🙏🏻
Another wonderful piece of work. Thank you.
In light of the LA fires, I’ll never get to have picnics on Will Rogers State Beach like I used to ever again. The doc is right. That’s the part that hurts and will hurt the most going forward with our new reality. I hope my kids get to see some of the absolutely beautiful things I got to.
Wow, what a great documentary.
This isnt content, this is art!
I've been following your videos for a few years now, and each one is more incredible than the last. Can't wait to see what's next man!
This channel is always amazing. Absolutely love what you’re doing here.
