“The Svartisen #glacier in #Norway is one of the few places on earth where #ice can really be seen in action… not just from the outside, but from the inside. Deep beneath the glacier, in a chamber at the end, scientists come face to face with ice. Then it’s two days of hard work using hot water to melt a #cave big enough to get inside the glacier and see it in all its glory.”
So. The glaciers aren't melting fast enough for them? 
@MaryPot I promise: It was a small cave that refilled itself within 3 days. Glaciers flow under the pressure of their own weight, even when they're well-frozen. And the science team was able to make a few discoveries in the process.
Literally a drop in the ocean, I do understand - but that was my gut reaction. Those shouting the glaciers are gone compared to just a few decades ago are melting glaciers? For a lay person, it doesn't make much sense.
@MaryPot Completely understood.
