The puck of ice hockey is not spherical.

The one glacier up in Greenland that puts more ice into the global ocean than all the other glaciers in the northern hemisphere combined is the Ilulissat Glacier.

It's actually an ice moon.

Earth sciences and glaciology and global change

That's what we like, hockey sticks.

Iceland has not participated in the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Can you make the hockey game tonight?

Glaciers are very important for the life on earth.

We set them off on this air hockey table.

Prizefights, hockey, ice carnivals and girls.

In these images we see ice from enormous glaciers, ice sheets that are hundreds of thousands of years old breaking up into chunks, and chunk by chunk by chunk, iceberg by iceberg, turning into global sea level rise.

Iceland has participated actively in the preparatory work of GMA.

I'll get some asshole at a watering hole asking what brand the ice is.

If earth will go into the Glacial period,what will you prepare.

We're working in most of the major glaciated regions of the northern hemisphere.

It's called Tilta Ball. It's made with popsicle sticks.

One percent doesn't sound like a lot, but it would cause one hell of an ice age here.

Shrinking ice sheets make the planet darker, so it absorbs more sunlight and becomes warmer.

I play squash and ice hockey, two very fast sports, and I wouldn't give them up for the world.

Ice, we'll need ice.

Sometimes hockey players get so competitive that fights break out.

So it's very much like the cycle on Earth except because it's so cold, it could not be water, you know, because water would have frozen.

Snow and ice, ice and snow.

Major processes of interaction between the atmosphere, oceans, ice and biota affect the entire global system through feedbacks, biogeochemical cycles, circulation patterns, transport of energy and pollutants, and changes in ice mass balance.

So, in the coldest place on Earth, they work inside a refrigerator.

If its ice sheet melted completely, sea levels would rise by seven meters meaning that we cannot afford to lose even a small fraction of the ice sheet. Meanwhile, satellite data show that Antarctica s ice sheet, which is ten times larger than Greenland s, is losing ice as well.

No ice. Plenty ice up there.

It doesn't look very cheerful here.

And they are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the global public health crisis facing humanity in the twenty first century.

I want to order up a mess of groceries.

And the icebox, don't forget the icebox.

This is a depiction of all of the water on Earth in relation to the volume of the Earth all the ice, all the fresh water, all the sea water and all the atmosphere that we can breathe, in relation to the volume of the Earth.

Crossing miles and miles of sastrugi frozen ice snowdrifts that could be hip deep.

No, simply by not making him suffer for hurting me.

Got any cold root beer?

The main research activities were concerned with methods and applications of Earth observation from space for hydrology and cryospheric research.

We hit the last glacial maximum around 16,000 years ago, but basically, from 70,000 years on, things were getting really tough, getting very cold. The Northern Hemisphere had massive growing ice sheets.

The B15 iceberg broke off the Ross Ice Shelf.

I don't like cold things on my skin.

And that's why we enjoy looking at glaciers and oceans, and contemplating the Earth from outside its perimeters, etc.

If you look in the middle background, you can see the calving face bobbing up and down like a yo yo.

Then 10,000 years ago, exploiting a sudden change in global climate with the end of the last ice age, humans learned to farm.

This is what our whole economy is thrusting upon us, particularly illustrated in that left hand corner hockey sticks.

You'd need a sack over your head before anyone could take you on.

We are seeing geysers of ice which are coming out of that planet, which indicate that most likely there is an ocean, you know, below the surface.
