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.
