Evidence of Climate Change in remote Norwegian island of Svalbard

The video discusses the rapid retreat of glaciers in the Arctic, particularly on Svalbard, and the associated risks and changes. Andy Hudson has been studying the Fox Fund glacier, observing significant ice melt. The melting ice creates dangerous conditions, with hidden tunnels and sudden ice flows. The changing climate has led to increased avalanche risks, causing evacuations and altering community life. Traditional activities like dog sledding are affected, with buggies replacing sleds as snow seasons shorten. The psychological impact of these changes is significant, as residents face new insecurities.
