Greenland is about three-times the size of Texas and almost completely covered in ice.
Every summer the Greenland ice sheet melts, and loses about 286 gigatonnes of ice per year. A gigatonne is a billion tonnes of water, which is enough to fill about 400,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. In the chart below, you can see the dip in ice mass in the record year 2012. Between January 2012 and January 2013, Greenland lost about 450 billion tonnes of ice.
Scientists recently found that methane is being released from below the Greenland ice sheet — from inorganic and ancient organic carbon buried beneath the ice — during the melt season. This source of methane emissions is not properly accounted for in global carbon budgets, according to the researchers, and the gas is 28 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.
Melting ice on land from glaciers or ice sheets is one of the two major forces driving sea level rise. (The other is thermal expansion, because water expands as it gets warmer.) Researchers estimate that melting land ice in the Arctic accounted for 35% of sea level rise in recent years.
A faster melting Arctic means faster sea level rise. The Greenland ice sheet alone could contribute between 5 to 33 centimeters (2 and 13 inches) of sea level rise by the end of the century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that 2 degrees C of warming could mean about 36 centimeters (1.2 feet) to 87 centimeters (2.9 feet) of sea level rise by 2100.
Which means most of the countries near sea area are at risk of being underwater with 0.5 meters of sea level rise.

Greenland - Since 8 years I'm traveling to this magical country. Today quiet and untouched places are becoming more and more rare. On my first visit to Greenland, I was fascinated by the incredible power of nature that can be felt everywhere. But during the last years things have changed. The amount of icebergs is increasing savagely. Glaciers I'm visiting every year are retreating not meters but kilometers a year and the unending amount of ice seems to be endless. There is nothing more beautiful than an iceberg - everyone is unique and the light reflecting from its surface is magical. It's sad how close beauty and decay can be seen in an iceberg. This movie is is an appreciation to the ice - for me the most amazing aggregate state of water.
Behind the scenes
For this short film I travelled to Greenland with my drones several times. Always with the target of a certain region in a certain light situation. The shots from the calving glacier took me 4 days at the Eqi Glacier and over 70 battery charges for only 4 usable shots of a few seconds. It's a very hard intention to film the very right moment on a glacier front of about 6km wide - especially close up. But the hardest thing of flying in Greenland is the fact, that every 2-3 minutes the difference between the magnetic north and the geographic north (which are not the same place - especially so far north) causing a fatal p-gps flight error and the drone is flying away (also the camera's horizon). But at the end every single flight was worth it - filming Icebergs from above is one of the most beautiful things I've ever done. Additionally I used the drone to scout the landing spot and look for polar bears. The best thing for bears and humans is to not meet each other on shore.

Incredible GLACIER CALVING & TSUNAMI WAVE Caught On Camera! | Glacier Wall Collapse (Greenland)
Huge Icebergs collapsing and breaking from the Ilulissat Glacier are often up to 3,000 feet in height (1,000 meter) and are broken up by the force of the glacier and icebergs further up the fjord. Subscribe for more ►
Greenland is home to the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica. The sheet covers 3/4 of Greenland's land mass. The Ilulissat Icefjord drains 6.5% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs. Some 35 billion tonnes of icebergs calve off and pass out of the fjord every year (Find out more here: In the last 25 years, the Greenland Ice Sheet is rapidly melting, having lost 3.8 trillion tons of ice between 1992 and 2018, a new study from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) finds. The melting ice has added 0.4 inches (11 millimeters) to sea level rise. Its cumulative 3.8 trillion tons of melted ice is equivalent to adding the water from 120 million Olympic-size swimming pools to the ocean every year (Find out more here:
Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. The waves formed in locations like Johns Hopkins Glacier can be so large that boats cannot approach closer than 3 kilometres. These events have become major tourist attractions. Many glaciers terminate at oceans or freshwater lakes which results naturally with the calving of large numbers of icebergs. Calving of Greenland's glaciers produce 12,000 to 15,000 icebergs each year alone (Find out more here:
About this video: Incredible glacier calving & tsunami wave caught on camera (Bo B.)
This video is showing huge icebergs flipping over and subsequently a series of multiple iceberg and glacier wall collapses. Due to the enormous amount of ice falling into the water, the glacier calving event even triggered a series of mini-tsunami waves up to 16 feet in height (5 m) breaking on the shore.

The real secret hidden in Antarctica....!!!!
Welcome to your channel CRAZY INFO.
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent.Antarctica, on average, is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents. It governed by parties to the Antarctic Treaty System that have consulting status.Richard E. Byrd led several voyages to the Antarctic by plane in the 1930s and 1940s. He is credited with implementing mechanised land transport on the continent and conducting extensive geological and biological research.

The Greenland Ice Sheet
The Greenland ice sheet is one of only two polar ice caps and covers around 80% of Greenland.
Historically, the ice sheet was rather deserted as Greenlanders preferred to stay on sea ice with access to fertile waters below. Now, thanks to aircraft, boats, and most importantly, wanderlust, the Greenland Ice Sheet has since become a popular spot for travelers in search of unmistakable Arctic adventure.
You can see the Greenland ice sheet from almost all towns across Greenland. If you would like to experience it up close though, the only road that leads to the Greenland ice sheet is located in Kangerlussuaq. Although a bit bumpy it delivers you directly to the edge of the ice sheet and offers views that are unique only to Greenland.

Remains of Greenland
Climate change is leading to an accelerated destruction of archaeological sites in the Arctic. In this video researchers go to Greenland to learn more about what is happening to the frozen past.
Remains of Greenland is a co-operation between The National Museum of Denmark, The Greenland National Museum and Archives and Center for Permafrost (CENPERM) at University of Copenhagen and is built on the experiences of several previous collaborative projects.
The project group consists of a team of experienced researchers, young researchers and students. The project focuses on the Nuuk region in South West Greenland, which is the part of Greenland with the highest density and variety of archaeological sites and where the effects of climatic change are already visible.

Greenland in 1 minute - expedition cruises to Greenland
There’s an old maxim that Iceland is green and Greenland is ice. While this for the most part may be true about Greenland, it’s only half the story. Greenland is an adventurer's paradise. From the polar desert in the north to glacial-carved fjords in the south, the country hosts more than its share of exciting destinations that explorers can take full advantage of.
The Greenlandic Ice Sheet covers 80 percent of the country, dating back up to 10,000 years. In some areas, you can walk on this permanent remnant from the last ice age where you'll see snowy mountains, frozen freshwater and an array of fauna. As a little-known fact, the ice sheet’s total area of 695,000 square miles equals 14 times the size of England, and the ice contains 10 percent of the world's reserves of fresh water.
For more interesting facts and figures about Greenland, watch our recap to get a sense of this northerly Arctic realm. Or join our expedition cruises to Greenland to see it all for yourself:

State of Ice in Greenland Spring 2019
2019 has seen record warmth and unprecedented ice melt in Greenlandand the Arctic. While there in April and May 2019 with the access to places most people would never see, I was witness firsthand to these changes as well at the majestic beauty of what is at stake. With the views of stunning tidal glaciers, melting ice permafrost and peat, the awesome display of icebergs of Disko bay to the Ice Cap covering most of Greenland. There is so much at stake.
We all must take responsibility for our own CO2 footprint and reduce the loss of this incredible ecosystem. We cannot wait for Governments of the world to act. Time is no longer on our side.
South Greenland - Beyond the Ice
Southern Greenland is much more than a pretty flyby - this video gives you a taste of what is on offer on the ground, from scenic mountains and icebergs to the wonderful colours of summer in South Greenland's main town, Qaqortoq.
Best when viewed in HD.
Filmed in and around the town of Qaqortoq, July 2010. This video first aired on Greenlandic national tv (KNR.gl) on Dec 2nd, 2010.
Thank you to everyone who helped during filming. Thanks for the inspiration; O'Hara & Silis.
Filmed in 1080i on Sony equipment, uploaded as 720p. Sound recorded and mixed in stereo.
