The Icecap Climate - Secrets of World Climate #12
The coldest places on earth, where 99% of the Earth's freshwater lies, locked up in ice sheets kilometers deep. A land of ice, snow, glaciers, freezing winds, and bitter cold.
This is Greenland. This is Antarctica. This is the icecap.

The twelfth and final episode in a unique series exploring all the major climate zones of the world focuses in full high-definition video on real places in each climate zone. In this geography documentary, we show this part of the world in its full beauty, and uncover the secrets of why it is that way and show you the lands and settlements that lie within.
The distinguishing feature of the icecap climate is that temperatures remain below freezing all year round. This means no vegetation at all. It would be a totally lifeless place was it not for various species of penguins toughing it out in the most hostile climate on earth, free from any predators.
Winters here are extremely cold and lie in total darkness for months at a time. The coldest recorded temperatures on earth lie in the high icecap of East Antarctica, with temperatures below 90°C on record.
There are no human settlements here, beyond the various research stations populated by scientists from various countries, with the largest being McMurdo Station, and other notables, the Scott-Amundsen South Pole Station, and the Russian Vostok station.

Freezing temperatures and almost no moisture in the air? A perfect place for overclocking my rig!

I have heard such cold places would be suitable for some serious computing...
Today I completed this series with you and I must say I had never enjoyed a youtube documentary series this much. Your commentary on top of the beautiful coverage was so soothing, and I have learned and noted so much along the way. I will always always recommend this to anybody who ever showed interest in learning about our beloved Earth. Thank you so much for your service.

Beautiful series! Now I’ll make up climate classifications for climates on other celestials: Mercury: Xa (scorching vacuum) Venus: AAAf (scorching runaway greenhouse) Moon: Xb (vacuum) Mars: Bxc (cold low-pressure) at the equator and EBx (carbon dioxide ice cap low-pressure) at the poles AAA means over 400c with significant atmosphere, X means airless, Bx means low pressure, etc.

Another awesome episode! As beautiful as enlightening! I'm just a bit sad thinking this series is almost ending! I hope you can continue doing more. I've never have seen an explanation of climates such this in my life! And is all the work and effort in it that makes it really awesome, the well selected music for each episode, the drones views are breathtaking and the hyperlapses too and even the way you narrate it denotes a great passion. I'm so glad to have seen this series and interact with you! Thanks a lot!

Amazing! I binge watched the whole series. I had already generally mapped out climate zones for a worldbuilding project of mine, but had no way to relate what exactly all the zones meant. Thanks to your series, I was able to refine those zones and get an idea of what cultures would develop in these areas. Thank you so much for these beautiful videos!
THIS is why I find Antarctica to be the most intriguing place on the planet.
9:00 “only the north is accessible” If it’s the South Pole then all sides are northern
brilliant job done by this series! very enlightening and knowledgeable episodes, beautifully created. sad thats it ending, hoping some new learning experience to come! great job!! 😀
Thank you for such a satisfying, perfectly made series! This was so informative and beautiful. Greetings from Jerusalem
In the timelapse of the summer ice sheets in Antarctica, at around 9:00, is it just me or does it look like the ice is slowly rotating clockwise? Would that be a result of the circum-polar current or am I seeing things?
It’s been a great journey, thank you very much! It was very hard to make myself watch these 12 episodes in three consecutive days and not as one binge-watch; I don’t think I ever enjoyed anything more than this on youtube; it was a very thoughtful, stylish, and informative series on climate, a perfect introduction/summary to the topic, if I may say. Please keep up producing great educational videos! Your fan)
Just finished the whole series This series by far the most satisfying and superior than any other😍😍🇮🇳

Another interesting video! Thank you for posting these they are very interesting I look forward to seeing more ^-^
Wow this was fantastic! I I have been so interesting in geography and climates recently and these videos have been so inspiring and knowledgeable! I found the intro video and ended up watching all the episodes in one sitting. The music the editing the narration the beautiful sights from all around earth are just all amazing! Very well done! : )
Can you start a new series a little bit more in to depth of ecosystems? For example how rivers shape habitat or whatever. From this point on its just waiting till you go viral, the quality is most certainly there! I enjoy your voice very much as well! Thanks for the time and effort!

Brilliant job - great use of data, NASA imagery and statistics; Well done! It would be excellent if a video could be made explaining the changes in recent years to our climate. Has there been shifts in data? Has precipitation reduced in certain climate zones? Congratulations on presenting such a world-class documentary series.

Excellent series. Loved it.
Just to think in the winter, you'd have to travel only have the distance to reach Antarctica from Tierra Del Fuego... That's so cool!

Although that distance is deceptive, as you'd need an ice-breaking ship and then there's the issue of getting across the sea-ice, with all its boulders/ridges etc. Probably easier to fly!

Thank you. A suggestion for a video is that how the warming has made Budapest a subtropical climate, Istanbul huge varying micro climates and how the savannah is unique or the unique biome of tropical semi arid like in North East Brazil.
"what's icecap?" a song from a videogame composed by michael jackson
Not sure if it applies but does the pink algae growing on the snow be considered vegetation?

I guess it would do - is there any sign of this on the Antarctic ice cap? There are some species on the Antarctic Peninsula where there is seasonal melting of the ice, but nothing should be able to grow if it's iced all year round.
