The Icecap Climate - Secrets of World Climate #12

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The coldest places on earth, where 99% of the Earth's freshwater lies, locked up in ice sheets kilometers deep. A land of ice, snow, glaciers, freezing winds, and bitter cold. The twelfth and final episode in a unique series exploring all the major climate zones of the world focuses in full high-definition video on real places in each climate zone. In this geography documentary, we show this part of the world in its full beauty, and uncover the secrets of why it is that way and show you the lands and settlements that lie within. The distinguishing feature of the icecap climate is that temperatures remain below freezing all year round. This means no vegetation at all. It would be a totally lifeless place was it not for various species of penguins toughing it out in the most hostile climate on earth, free from any predators. Winters here are extremely cold and lie in total darkness for months at a time. The coldest recorded temperatures on earth lie in the high icecap of East Antarctica, with temperatures below 90-C on record. There are no human settlements here, beyond the various research stations populated by scientists from various countries, with the largest being McMurdo Station, and other notables, the Scott-Amundsen South Pole Station, and the Russian Vostok station

Another awesome episode! As beautiful as enlightening!
I'm just a bit sad thinking this series is almost ending! I hope you can continue doing more. I've never have seen an explanation of climates such this in my life! And is all the work and effort in it that makes it really awesome, the well selected music for each episode, the drones views are breathtaking and the hyperlapses too and even the way you narrate it denotes a great passion. I'm so glad to have seen this series and interact with you! Thanks a lot!

Beautiful series! Now I-ll make up climate classifications for climates on other celestials:
Mercury: Xa (scorching vacuum)
Venus: AAAf (scorching runaway greenhouse)
Moon: Xb (vacuum)
Mars: Bxc (cold low-pressure) at the equator and EBx (carbon dioxide ice cap low-pressure) at the poles
AAA means over 400c with significant atmosphere, X means airless, Bx means low pressure, etc.

Amazing! I binge watched the whole series. I had already generally mapped out climate zones for a worldbuilding project of mine, but had no way to relate what exactly all the zones meant. Thanks to your series, I was able to refine those zones and get an idea of what cultures would develop in these areas.
Thank you so much for these beautiful videos!

Wow this was fantastic! I I have been so interesting in geography and climates recently and these videos have been so inspiring and knowledgeable! I found the intro video and ended up watching all the episodes in one sitting. The music the editing the narration the beautiful sights from all around earth are just all amazing! Very well done! : )

Brilliant job - great use of data, NASA imagery and statistics; Well done! It would be excellent if a video could be made explaining the changes in recent years to our climate. Has there been shifts in data? Has precipitation reduced in certain climate zones? Congratulations on presenting such a world-class documentary series.

Can you start a new series a little bit more in to depth of ecosystems? For example how rivers shape habitat or whatever. From this point on its just waiting till you go viral, the quality is most certainly there! I enjoy your voice very much as well! Thanks for the time and effort!

Thank you. A suggestion for a video is that how the warming has made Budapest a subtropical climate, Istanbul huge varying micro climates and how the savannah is unique or the unique biome of tropical semi arid like in North East Brazil.

In the timelapse of the summer ice sheets in Antarctica, at around 9: 00, is it just me or does it look like the ice is slowly rotating clockwise? Would that be a result of the circum-polar current or am I seeing things?

My uncle and aunt lived above Polar circle in the town of Khatanga, in tundra. Their fun experience was not related to the climate, but to the fact that muslim fasting is impossible there due to polar day and polar night.

Thank you for producing this series. It was interesting the simlarities across the world while there are differences that aren't very far away from here.

Happy New Year B. J. Ranson! Hope this year brings great things to you! Here I am waiting for the summary! :) hope you are fine my friend!

Just to think in the winter, you'd have to travel only have the distance to reach Antarctica from Tierra Del Fuego. That's so cool!
