Brown Glacier, Heard Island, had retreated by 50 metres over three years, with the lower slopes of the glacier having lost as much as 11 metres in thickness, while Collins Glacier, King George Island, retreated by some 200 metres between 1987 and 2005.

The Himalayan glaciers have not stopped losing mass, although they are losing it at a somewhat slower rate than before. Evidence collected on 466 glaciers by the Indian Space Applications Center from 1962 to 2004 shows a 21 loss of glacier area and a 30.8 of glacier volume.

The sheep in the stable, the fridge in the house.

While glaciers that cover more than five square kilometers have lost 12 of their mass, those under one square kilometer have lost 38 percent. Applying the overall ratio of mass lost to area covered, this means that the smallest (and most numerous) Himalayan glaciers lost up to 57 of their mass between 1960 and 2004.

Later in the expedition, the problem was no longer the ice.

It was during the ice age that the saber toothed tiger became extinct.

In another week, it'll be full of ice.

I even seem to remember the icehouse back against the rocks.

Each cylinder is a parfait of time.

High ice motion was correlated with the intensity of cyclonic activity, heat advection and the increase of snow accumulation on the ice sheet.

During their detention, they were held incommunicado and allegedly subjected to torture, which included beatings, lashings, hanging from the legs and hands while being doused with ice cold water, sleep deprivation, enforced standing, prolonged standing on tip toes and confinement to freezing cells.

The last ice age started roughly 120,000 years ago.

Ice, we'll need ice.

Snow and ice, ice and snow.

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

No ice. Plenty ice up there.

It doesn't look very cheerful here.

I want to order up a mess of groceries.

And the icebox, don't forget the icebox.

I spent time skiing across the sea ice for weeks at a time in the high Arctic.

It represents a colossal waste of food, but what I discovered whilst I was writing my book was that this very evident abundance of waste was actually the tip of the iceberg.

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?

In the last three decades, its volume has shrunk by roughly three quarters. As the University of Laval s Louis Fortier puts it, we are three quarters of the way to ice free summers in the Arctic Ocean.

Well, we were going into the worst part of the last ice age.

Ice in my ice chest melted within hours, and it was pretty miserable.

The B15 iceberg broke off the Ross Ice Shelf.

I don't like cold things on my skin.

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

But what happened is that the entire underside was full of these billions of amphipods and copepods moving around and feeding on the underside of the ice, giving birth and living out their entire life cycle.

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

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.
