As adventures go, it doesn't get any better than this. A week-long trek to the top of the world, into the icy frontier of Alaska. An epic landscape that defies description. And that's just the beginning. We went to the very heart of Alaska's glacier country, where the giant icebergs begin. And we can tell you, it's no place for the faint-hearted.
For Michael Usher, ice used to be a very foreign concept indeed. Not any more. Michael has walked across it, climbed it, paddled through it and simply marvelled at its majestic beauty. He's also learned a thing or two about how much it all means to us and the planet.

Fantastic reporting as always. Thank you

BIG DONATION FROM SOROS.
👍👍Jane
The planet will survive, we won't
It's not too late for us yet. But we do need to make significant changes. We've known we need to get away from fossil fuels for decades. We need to do it.
Ice has no agenda it just melts
Don't worry... It will all ice over again after WE are gone lol
the iceberg are not disappearing
Correct Steven all to scare people for more Control No Global Boiling Bunkum
THEN where are they,there are hubdred years of measurements from all over the world where there is ice burgs, it is simple math you would learn in grade two, it is called minus, So if they are not shrinking where are they
dont be brainwashed they are not shrinking theres no climate change and theres no proof
@@sheilacoulton775 Have you ever heard of Ice Age?
@@beardedlonewolf7695 Yes i have,i live in cold climate country six months out of a year, when temps are recorded that has it -10 to -15 degrees colder tells us something is wrong,When water levels have risen to 6 feet by end of april and takes 3 months to slowly drain something is wrong, There are too many countries having floods they have never seen or recorded before tells them something is wrong,The Ice Age has nothing to do with it, the melting of the iceburgs is happening the recording of this for the last 30 years says the earth is warming up not going into an ice age.Stop spreading misinformation and violating youtubes guidelines or be reported and removed. do not reply to me any more as it will show harrassment on your part. Have a great day
Love 60 minutes Australia
It happens. It’s part of life’s cycle but man has hurried it along with all their interferences
Yeppers 👍😛
the earth axle is changing too
Wish they would just leave Mother Nature alone … it’s a place of natural beauty leave it alone why does man have to ruin everything
Mother Earth has reached her tipping point… As long as humans walk the earth she will never heal…
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. Reminds me of the people who when I was a kid were telling us that we should not reproduce at all, because by the year 2000, the world would be a total desert and we would be able to grow any food if people in my generation had children. People are always lying about 'the planet' and 'man is the enemy of nature.' Sorry, man is PART of nature, and that INCLUDES man's ability to manipulate nature. We are as much a part of the ecosystem as any other species on the planet. The earth can cope with us or we would not be here. Does that mean we can't abuse our environment? No. But it DOES mean that if someone DOES abuse the planet, we can fix that. Humans are the solution to human problems. That's how humans fit into the ecosystem: we are the only animals that can work against nature (including refusing to reproduce and killing our young and old), and we are the only ones who have the ingenuity to fix things when people choose to mess things up. One thing we need to stop doing is killing the incipient humans who might grow up to innovate solutions to the problems of the previous generation. The biggest mistake humans are making is not polluting the earth - we've turned that around DRAMATICALLY in so many ways since the 1960s. The biggest mistake is wiping out the next generation of problem-solvers because we are too selfish to let them see the light of day and maybe fix the mess we've made. Have kids, teach them to love their planet, and encourage them to learn science. They will fix it. Just don't make them want to kill themselves with your gloom and doom about humanity.
At least we won't run out of water
always peak reporting from down under🌏
The lastest event in Juneau is perfect example of what will happen.
Even California is already seeing signs.
I'm from California. The people there are always 'seeing signs.'
@@FigaroHeyright!
I don’t think people are freaking out enough about climate change - I think the eco system is going to die first. For example the sea ice melt, old news- how about fresh water glaciers screwing up the salinity and watersheds. Does that help the people trying to shut down mining and logging in the Amazon? I think indigenous people are the only ones that would make it.
Geo engineering .. the gov have a huge part to play here.
The 24 hour sun period will tell whether or not earth will have any ice left on the North pole in the next few years.
Antarctica is gonna get dumped with snow with the ocean lapping up to it now cu, I aing seeing sea level rise so. . .
It's a tip of the iceberg, but not lettuce 😊
🙏🙏🙏
Who's Julian Assange??
Laughable
It's really sad we destroy our planet where we life, I have done my part have you.???
What kind of cowards turn off comments on some of their videos they post? Yeah I’m asking you 60 minutes. Australia!
WHY should any channel tolerate B.S, they do not have too, that is a result of adults not knowing how to listen and behave without the anger and nastiness.Any channel owner has the right,UA-cam puts the restrictions on the comments,you would know that if you were not to laid back to research.
@@sheilacoulton775 No they put restrictions because they see most people don't believe their propaganda anymore, even dumb people are waking up.
The oceans are heating, the coral reefs are dead. The ice caps are melting cities are drowning. Yet we continue to consume AND pollute...
Globalists should hire you as their spokesperson……
😢so sad
@@bernardofitzpatrick5403 so sad that political parasites maniiipulate the populace so badly…..
@@bernardofitzpatrick5403 true, so sad that these parasites that people keep going to the polling booths to put into power manipulate the populace so so badly! They don’t give a shiiiiite about the environment or about YOU
Thank the chinese
The climate change is distressing
Again?
Could ice climbing and “spying” on the ice contribute to the natural destruction? Do the helicopter journeys leave any fuel droplets that contribute to disrupting the ice? Honest questions.
Pretty dirty
False news, nothing is melting.
OMG Greta HELP US
Call on Jesus! Ask Jesus 🙏 if He is real to SHOW YOU! 🤍 ASK Jesus to show you HIS GLORY and he will... Praise God! Amen✝️ Jesus Loves you SO MUCH 😭 Just ASK HIM
I have a very difficult time attempting to figure out how anyone who lacks the intelligence to comprehend that it is an absurd assertion to suggest that we live on the surface of a ball covered by mostly water expects they have the insight to know the first thing about the environment of the realm we dwell in. Please just stop it with all this plane(t) nonsense! You fail a basic litmus test every time you use the term globe or planet.
Allah (S.W.T.) has made this world as a globe. You can deny it all you want, but you will see it on the Day of Judgement the reality.
Arguing about the shape of the earth isn’t the reason why Allah (S.W.T.) has sent you to this world. You were created for a purpose, and your primary purpose is to submit and worship your Creator alone, Allah. He is the Lord of all that exists.
Ask your Creator for guidance. He will guide you to your purpose in life if you ask sincerely.
Don’t waste time with anything else, until you know your purpose in life. Turn to your Lord and ask for guidance.
May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
@@NazmusLabs You are utterly, completely, totally, helplessly brainwashed and delusional with no comprehension of how your Allah given senses even relate to the natural world we live in. I am sorry for how this has all turned out for you. Bless your heart. Be well.
Another word salad with no evidence to back it up, Environments around the globe have been studied since the seventies, the least you could do is go read some of these studies and then comment with some knowledge that one-day species on this planet will never be seen by anyone and you come here to spout bull,you should have joined Bouzy,s spoutable instead of UA-cam,anymore of this wrong info,you will be banned.Freedom of speech does not protect you or anyone else from telling lies,spreading rumors and gossip.
