S5E3 - Iceberg Alley
George heads to Newfoundland, Canada, the iceberg capital of the world, for an up-close look at these floating giants from above, from below, and from the very top of a frozen mountain on the move.
Due to rising temperatures, the polar ice caps are disappearing, leading to more icebergs showing up in the warmer water in and around Newfoundland Canada. By tracking the movement and disappearance of these icebergs, we can have a better understanding of Arctic Ice and the rapid changes in climate. Follow along as George tracks icebergs and gets up close to them, climbing them, and swimming under them to better understand how and why they move and melt.
