00:02Walking on this ice is inherently dangerous.

00:06Not only is there a risk of slipping,

00:08but there might also be fissures in the ice

00:11that could give way to hidden crevices.

00:18So I've left the sled behind

00:20to see if I can explore some of the holes opened up in the ice.

00:29Every spring, the warming temperature triggers

00:32the surface of the ice below the snow line to melt.

00:36By summer, crystal clear streams and lakes

00:39have formed from that meltwater.

00:47The ice has always melted in the summer,

00:50but what has changed is the ever-increasing rate

00:53at which it's happening.

00:56This is not a place where you want to lose your footing.
