10's of thousands of years old. What's funny is that the ice they harvest isn't necessarily that old. The top portion of the glacier is what breaks off. what survives the summer gets buried and locked away. Those ice bergs are from the Arctic's newer ice.

That's the problem the ice isn't growing it's shrinking at a alarming rate in most not all regions vitally no ice is being added too because of air temperatures which attack from both the top and the bottom accelerating the melt, flow processes

What’s not funny is the place where it broke off now warms the ocean instead of bouncing off the ice.. and the release of methane that’s left bubbling to the top

Thanks from Morocco 🇲🇦 for this great documentary ,

Out in the open sea they disintegrate rapidly but don't add to sea level rise they can be very dangerous if they get into the shipping routes?

Concidering Canada territory holds the 2nd largest share of the Artic the title makes me laugh

Why? How about a good part of Canada is in the Arctic.

Persistent westerly winds have also dragged the current in one direction for over 20 years, increasing the speed and size of the clockwise current and preventing the fresh water from leaving the Arctic Ocean. This decades long western wind is unusual for the region, where previously, the winds changed direction every five to seven year. Scientists have been keeping an eye on the Beaufort Gyre in case the wind changes direction again. If the direction were to change, the wind would reverse the current, pulling it counterclockwise and releasing the water it has accumulated all at once. "If the Beaufort Gyre were to release the excess fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean, it could potentially slow down its circulation. And that would have hemisphere wide implications for the climate, especially in Western Europe," said Tom Armitage, lead author of the study and polar scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Fresh water released from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic can change the density of surface waters. Normally, water from the Arctic loses heat and moisture to the atmosphere and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, where it drives water from the north Atlantic Ocean down to the tropics like a conveyor belt. This important current is called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and helps regulate the planet's climate by carrying heat from the tropically warmed water to northern latitudes like Europe and North America. If slowed enough, it could negatively impact marine life and the communities that depend on it. "We don't expect a shutting down of the Gulf Stream, but we do expect impacts. That's why we're monitoring the Beaufort Gyre so closely," said Alek Petty, a co-author on the paper and polar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The study also found that Beaufort Gyre is out of balance because of the added energy from the wind, the current expels that excess energy by forming small, circular eddies of water. While the increased turbulence has helped keep the system balanced, it has the potential to lead to further ice melt because it mixes layers of cold, fresh water with relatively warm, salt water below. The melting ice could, in turn, lead to changes in how nutrients and organic material in the ocean are mixed, significantly affecting the food chain and wildlife in the Arctic. The results reveal a delicate balance between wind and ocean as the sea ice pack recedes under climate change. "What this study is showing is that the loss of sea ice has really important impacts on our climate system that we're only just discovering," said Petty.

THE UN DEFINITION. - THE 22 WORDS Look at the first 11 words of the UN definition of Climate Change, (as set out here under the 'Context' heading), and then isolate it from the remaining 11 words. This gives us a perfect explanation for the nonsense that is Climate Change, which has....and is being pushed at us by politicians, pressure groups and the UN. This piece is valuable since it explains to us the work of the International Ice Patrol, which was set up in the aftermath of the sinking of the Titanic, but I am afraid it falls into the 'Climate Change' nonsensical hoax trap. The shots of glacier ice falling into the sea..........as the 'nose' of the glacier reaches the sea...........has been done to death by the Climate Change Lunatics as evidence of what they used to call Global Warming, but have taken to calling Climate Change. It is of course, nothing of the sort. The 'nose' of the glacier breaks off from the general mass of the glacier because it starts to become unsupported when it reaches the sea. It reaches this point because the general mass, (weight), of the glacier is pushing it forward. This is what glaciers do...! When the pieces that have broken off from the 'nose'...........now called Icebergs.........are taken up by the Labrador Current they start their journey southward. What then happens is that as the Icebergs travel south they are subjected to the warming effects of the edge of the Gulf Stream, as it travels north and north-eastwards. The further south they travel the more they enter the main portion of the Gulf Stream until they eventually melt. The speed at which they travel south is determined by other factors such as the wind and the flow of the current. These factors, including the rise in air temperature caused by sunlight, play a continuing part in them melting. Eventually the cycle will be repeated as the waters from the oceans are taken up to atmosphere and will fall back to earth as participation, (rain or snow)........ The beauty of what we see when the 'nose' of the glacier breaks off, is that we are looking at ice that was formed by snows that fell millions of years ago. James Hennighan Yorkshire, England

- We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago - I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010. Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us one thousand years to the past of the universe. Today, April 08, 2024, the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 82 thousand years ago. On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past. On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million in the past. On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past. On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past.
