About Glaciers - Ice in Freefall :

The consequences of melting glaciers are manyfold and are ever more tangible (collapsing glaciers, overflowing glacial lakes, rising sea levels, destabilization of ocean currents). Teams of scientists, glaciologists and economists around the world are racing against time to map out, monitor and understand the mechanisms involved and better anticipate the impact on millions of lives. In partnership with UNESCO and as part of the launch of the international Decade of Glacier Preservation 2025 this film will offer a global approach to the subject to inform and nourish the debate.
