I've always wanted to throw rocks on a lake with a thin layer of ice in it to make those crazy bullet-like noises. I have to wonder at how many different ways large masses of ice can make extremely loud, and unusual sounds. I bet there are all sorts from glaciers rubbing on glaciers, glaciers rubbing on rock, rocks being broken up on a large scale. I'm sure just the way in which a glacier causes the ground to sink would make some weird noises. They're probably mostly infrasound from the size and time scales involved.
Fun Fact, the water they tried fell as snow over 200 years ago! The only other place you could get water nearly as clean would be a spring or another glacier.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to financial compensation
It was really cool that you got to take a trip all the way up north to Alaska! Great video, loved all those chill puns! Glaciers are fascinating in how they shape the earth around them and the incredible valleys, rivers, lakes, and everything else that is effected by their power.
Yet another impeccable example of why the topic of understanding viscoelasticity can aid in understanding the planet no matter the scientific field studying it, and is always fascinating.
I heard that because ice is less dense than water (it expands when it freezes) enormous pressure can overcome this and can essentially "liquify" the surface atoms of ice into water. I've heard that as the explanation of ice skates, that you're actually sliding on a thin film of water, not the ice itself and that if it's cold enough, there won't be enough energy to force the water out of position and ice stops being slippery.
A good example of how a solid can move like a liquid is pure gold. Put a little pressure with your figures on a lump of gold and it will bend or stretch
uau I also want to be on top of that glacier. Glaciers ARE super cool. Was on top of one in Norway and it was just an overwhelming feeling. The intense blue of the ice is just incredible. Lets try and let the glaciers continuing being glaciers. Great video!
I've been in helicopter once, got a 15 min free ride! :D Broke my right clavicle and left arm from hitting the wall on bycycle...so they had to transfer me from an island that had no hospital to the "nearby" city that had one. Cant say it was worth it...buuut...yeeeah...t'was nice.
I've been to that lake. They have a pretty neat building nearby with pictures and infographics about the glacier. I can't quite recall, but I think the people running that lodge also offer those helicopter rides
My mother asked if the table was okay when i fell onto it and hit my eye. 2 years later i am blind in that eye and thats a major contributing factor to the blindness
I'm normally pretty slow to get at things (and I'm starting to like that), so I expect to miss a month-old three night special, but... Good job on advertising a three-night special two nights after it had already started.
You could have come to Glacier National park here in Montana to study glaciers, we've got lots! Or had lots..... they are kinda melting..... but we have lots of lakes made by glaciers and they are some of the clearest waters you will ever see
I’ve hiked by many, many glaciers in both Washington, Canada, and Oregon. I’ve even stepped 50 feet from the base of one in the Canadian Rockies. Outside of Alaska, Washington is the most glaciated state in the United States. If you want the best glacial experience in the lower 48, then you MUST hike or visit Mount Rainier National Park, North Cascades National Park, or Olympic National Park in Washington. In fact, practically all of Washington’s mountains north of Mount Rainier is heavily glaciated. Glacier National Park in Montana has got nothing on Washington’s glaciers! If you’re from Portland, like me, then you can hike on Mount Adams, Mount Hood, or Mount Rainier to see glaciers up close.
There was one thing I didn't quite understand, does all of the ice on the glacier move or only the bottom part because oft that high pressure/low melting point combination?
A question of glacial proportions? Icy what you did there.
It's Okay To Be Smart Awesome Video
It's Okay To Be Smart Noice
That was some dirty snow
Hey It's Okay To Be Smart
I love your videos :D
So informative and the animation's like Kurseagast but BETTER.
And the host looks cool... ;D
I can hear ur voice Doc Joe! 😆
"Solids don't flow right?
Not so fast"
Why is no one appreciating how perfect that was!
Ikr
zbobhigh Maybe he could pitch a few more, but we might miss the drop.
AirborneSurfer This comment is absolutely brilliant.
Took 30 days for someone to get that. Well done, sir!
Snow: This isn't even my final form!
Of course a weeb says this.
Its cold level! Its below nine THOUSAAAAAAAAND!!!
Beyond Lorien More like "This isn't even my final firn!"
Saying anime references = weeb
Damn logic!!
no! it should say, "What, Snow is de-evolving" as snow is peng
With their feet. Next question
Heh... nice...
chat.whatsapp.com/5GQlAh68QHa9fDHzU6RJOM
Ique XD LOOOOL
Heh... nice....
Well, I'm gla-sure you did your research on this one! Neat topic, keep up the great work.
Glacier Nester lol
*"Okay guys, so throw a snowball at me when I finish the outro, trust me, they'll love it"*
lol
Every time I see your video in my feed I look and think "meh, that's a mildly interesting question" then I watch and come away mind blown. Every time.
I actually agree.
True brew ginger beer
Nooo it's CLEARLY waterbenders!
vizthex lol
Noooo Clearly it's GAWD
Wow - those blues are incredible. Just curious, did you get to hear any of the amazing sounds that glaciers make? Such as the 'Bergy Seltzer?'
Sadly, no! Just the "cronch cronch cronch" of my crampons

"Glaciers are cool.. not just because they are made of ice." nice on bud
You better have tried some glacier water.
Best water I've ever had!
Fun Fact: In Germany there is a spirit called 'Gletscherwasser' which literally translates to glacier water.
Fun Fact, the water they tried fell as snow over 200 years ago! The only other place you could get water nearly as clean would be a spring or another glacier.
"How Do Glaciers Move?" Like everyone else. They either hire movers or rent a truck and do it themselves.
you're losing your top ranked comment spots man.
Yeah, I have my good days and my bad days. But as long as I can give a few people a chuckle, I'm happy ^_^
Come on, people. Can we get some love for my homie Therion?
Noooo
Boooo!!!

I'm glad to see this guy traveling and making videos like this. I'm just happy he looks happy👌
How do they move? .... Slowly :)
No it's waterbenders
*Snowly
despacito xD
Amega Elite your reply is underrated..
Despacito...😆
Glad you get to travel to new places and learn new things, and share them with us!
I like this guy he teaches without being boring or condescending. You cant beat that.
I liked this very much. It helped me learn more about glaciers for homeschool.
It was ice to see a cool video like this one. Makes my heart slightly less frozen.
About time SO get a segment lol I love it up here
I found out recently this channel and have been watched many videos. This is really one of my favorite channels of all! 😄😄😄
So happy you collabed with my other fav scientist Sally!
Yet another impeccable example of why the topic of understanding viscoelasticity can aid in understanding the planet no matter the scientific field studying it, and is always fascinating.
very well explained. thanks.
Beautiful scenery!
They way you enjoy science makes me enjoy watching your videos
Great job, y'all--thanks! PBS is the best. :)
This video was so visually appealing
thanks. so helpful!!!
anyone else here cuz you disconected from your online geo lesson and then your mom was just like "just watch a yt video about it"
Thanks for my geography test summary
That's why I love your Chanel it's interesting
DarkDiamond Snow21 Smells nice too.
Every It's Okay To Be Smart episode but every time Joe says a pun "Another One" from the Sugar episode plays
This guy was so excited about riding in a helicopter for the first time. Love the energy!
fantastic work

This channel should be mandatory at schools everywhere. My son will watch at least 2 of your videos per day.
Got introduced to you from the Sally LePage Sofa Science vid. Subbed.
Damn, an entire chapter of my college textbook condensed into a few minutes. a nice refresher
I watch you ,vsauce and the riddle like 24/7
Thumbs up for the Bill Nye pun... "Glaciers are cool!"
Well done.
Has watched no less than a half dozen documentaries on Glaciers and knows exactly how they move. Watches video anyway.
I can see that public TV budget at work...they couldn't even afford to give you a full-sized Snickers to squish!
Thanks for the Video.
This channel is so underrated.
I've been in helicopter once, got a 15 min free ride! :D
Broke my right clavicle and left arm from hitting the wall on bycycle...so they had to transfer me from an island that had no hospital to the "nearby" city that had one. Cant say it was worth it...buuut...yeeeah...t'was nice.
"free"
Cool video, very refreshing!
A tortoise is mugged by three snails. When the police ask him to describe his attackers, he replies, 'i can't, it all happenend so fast'.
I went on the same helicopter to that glacier. I remember distances where hard to judge when standing on glacier.
I was eating a very delicious brownie while watching this
Super cool!
I liked this video. Then you referenced pokemon using the original 8 bit music and now I love it.
Welcome to the snow world, where snow evolves into firn then into glacier. Lol. Great Pokemon animation for snow to firn
I've been to that lake. They have a pretty neat building nearby with pictures and infographics about the glacier. I can't quite recall, but I think the people running that lodge also offer those helicopter rides
Snow video in summer.
Nice.
This would have been the perfect time to go over why glacier ice is so blue.
Love these videos... and the horrible horrible puns.
I love how blue the ice was
My mother asked if the table was okay when i fell onto it and hit my eye. 2 years later i am blind in that eye and thats a major contributing factor to the blindness
Thank you from an Aussie homeschool mum.
Juneau is an awesome place
In the Alps, glaciers are receding at a speed that already has led to several once big glaciers completely vanishing.
I'm normally pretty slow to get at things (and I'm starting to like that), so I expect to miss a month-old three night special, but... Good job on advertising a three-night special two nights after it had already started.

the presenter was wearing SUN glasses in the SNOW i guess you could say he was to COOL .
Thats cool
I’ve been to Mendenhall Glacier!
wish my classes were like this
That Pokemon reference though. I just evolved both a Shiny Ivysaur and Oddish while watching this.
a Texas citizen going to an icy hell hole Alaska. The things he does for science!
This dude has a really cool job...
The puns always kill me: "solids don't move... do they? NOT SO FAST"
Also I cried when you used the old Pokémon evolution sound
I ate part of the Knik glacier.

Before watching, I would guess it’s the same reason sand flows, but it’s melting and re freezing constantly on the inside
00:51 When your fps of your camera matches the rpm of the heli's blades
Or the engine hadn't started yet. But I like where your head is at!
Oh man..i saw the blade curved and i thought it was moving. Excuse me but i'm sleepy and its 2:32am in Greece
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
the glacier puns
guns?
ok idk what I'm saying I'm trying to make a pun but unfortunately I'm too stupid
Hey ice baby, your coolness lies in the way you move 😎😉
Would love to see you do a collaborative video with Hank Green from SciShow
3:54 so COOL
I was with a deck of cards practicing magic just when you did the card fan like a pro
wow i was watching videos about glaciers when i got the notification.
i like the music in this video
I'm curious on how glaciers form massive lakes like the Great Lakes
Idk maybe they take an uber
Talk about the antartica glacier!!
The first time I went in a helicopter was to go on a glacier too, it's was fox glacier in New Zealand.
5:00 sponsored by Snickers!!😂🍫

Boss battle 1: snow
Second form of boss: glacier
This is the best channel on CZcams. I hate waiting for a new video every week
Cool stuff
Crash Course Cryosphere anyone?
you made me hungry with that chocolate, homie!
It's called Ahtohallan. (river of ice)
this man trying hard to break a bar of chocolate at 5:02
LOL TRYHARD XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD NUUUB
