  • i am informing that i will use a part of this video in a project of mine.

  • dewgong gong gong gong

  • Fantastic video...:-)

  • Руки прочь от Арктики. Северный полюс - РУССКИЙ! (по праву первенства). И Антарктида, кстати тоже принадлежит России, так как открыта была русскими мореплавателями. По-честному, следовало бы ещё пиндосов (американцев) визами обложить для выхода на околоземную орбиту и космическое пространство. Не заплатили пошлину - сбивать их спутники нафиг. Это всё-таки русские люди первооткрыватели Космоса. Так что идут все в жопу! России чужого не надо, России своё защитить.

  • @ciaopertutti Согласен.Запад должен отступить.

  • Whether one believes global warming is real or not, why shouldn't we practice good environmental stewardship anyway? There's no such thing as "a nature that we are hurting" because we're honestly not a separate entity ~ WE ARE NATURE. Anything we're doing that's 'environmentally unfriendly' bounces back at us in some way or another~ take dead zones in the Chesapeake for example; when we cause them we're not only killing fish, BUT WE'RE KILLING FISHERIES. No fish = no fishing. No fishing = broke.

  • "Wikileaks cables show race to carve up Arctic"

    my god, no wonder these super powers have done nothing to stop global warming when they have known the retreating ice will be a scramble for the resources.

    Hillary Clinton is one of the guilty and she is, like all these vile beings, souless.

  • Hey everyone, if u have fb account, pls go to the page 'arctic wildlife' and like it. Even though it was done for my sch project, i would like to instill awareness in all of you regarding the life that we are living now and the impact that it is doing to Earth. Pls save our beautiful Earth. We only have one of it's kind and sadly, we are not really taking care of it. I would greatly appreciate if all of you can take your time to read about it. Thank you so much. <3

  • @Beautyslick done and done

  • Jodie foster narrating???

  • This narrator's unisex voice is pretty annoying.

  • 3:30 I think that was my uncle climbing out of the water - he's a film extra and can usually be seen in these type of documentaries. He was once in The Bill, but then who wasn't?

  • i like it..great video..keep it up..nice...MALIK AAMIR from PAKISTAN......thanks

  • Global warming is a joke. Everything in this world goes through cycles, no different than the planet that we inhabit, and everything has a beginning as well as an end.

  • @tim79338

    speeding up the process unnaturally is different, go study some more

  • @salee54123 I agree, but if you go back to your earlier 'studies,' this is a closed system, referring more to the Law of Conservation. Although some of these pollutants do cause more of an issue and man made chemicals are more unnatural, there is almost always some way for these chemicals to be broken down whether it be biology breaking them down or just decomposition... this is just a few reasons why I think 'global warming' is a joke. More so, I think that there are other issues more pertinent

  • @tim79338 yes, global warming is a joke.

    But the earth is not a "closed system" it is constantly radiating and absorbing energy into space in electromagnetic radiation. And thats the big player in atmospheric temperature.

  • @psmanici4 'closed system' basically means nothing in, or out. Kinda like how we use Oxygen gas and give of Carbon Dioxide... and in return, vegetation takes in carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen. doesn't really have anything to do with energy or temperature. All elements remain on this planet even though compounds may change (chemical reactions) and be used. The planet recycles practically everything on it's own.

  • @tim79338 after studying physical and inorganic chemistry at university, i do not require a description of a closed system or photosynthesis/ aerobic respiration. Light gaseous elements do not remain on the planet- mars used to have an atmosphere but it dissipated into space millions of years ago. Planet earth is not a closed system. Energy and matter enter in the form of radiation and meteorties etc, and leave through radiation and gravity field escape.

  • @psmanici4 think you missed something... guess it depends on how well your courses were. can't really blame you if someone taught you a bunch of crap. however, maybe you just weren't paying attention. between gravity holds all these gases you are talking about in. even if some are seeping out, it's very minuet and is still replaced... because we do live in a closed system. maybe you should take more classes to where they reach that part in your studies.

  • @tim79338 it seems were splitting hairs and i think we should just agree to disagree :)

  • To find true beauty one must only look to nature

  • best part at 3:50 (hence my username) I love walruses!

  • Why is the narrator whispering? Is there a secret?

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • Those beluga whales are so damn cute. ^_^

  • that womans voice reminds me of nere from the eng dubbed version of death note lol xD

  • Woman? Isn´t that a boy ;o ?

  • @RwwITheCoderI I donno... I think it's a girl

  • 0:53 Thats a vid where narwals got trapped between ice and couldnt breathe well due to lack of oxygen in the small trap they were in! lolol

  • Awesome photography. Whoever's taking those underwater photographs must be pretty cold.

  • fucking industrealists.. i love polar bears! :(

  • @TheEnagic I'm sure they'd love you too as they rip you to shreds...

  • It really makes you think twice about what we are actually doing to this world. Destroying its natural beauty.

  • @jamesw754 thank Illuminati for that. research.

  • WHO IS THE NARRATOR?

  • antarctica is the coldest windiest place on the world. sorry

  • magickarp use splash attack!!1!!

  • those belugas looks like angels...

  • this is really sad :( i try my hardest to do my bit for the environment i don't think people understand the urgency and the rapid rate of global warming.

    save da polar bearz X

  • Sadly, the government really not doing anything about it...

    If they do, they should use their power to save the Arctic and or world..

  • GO POLAR BEAR <3 :'(

  • Haha, you're too funny, you really need better more accurate sources. Are you aware that the gov't has just increased the polar bear hunt limt? That's right, the gov't just allowed hunters to kill even more of them because they are OVER POPULATING!!!! There are too many of them. There are more polar bears now than in recent history. But what do they know, they only live up in the north with the polar bears. Haha, do some more research big guy!

  • Um, exuse me? This isn't some valid project, i'm taking this video at face value. Why should i analyze it? I think that people like you who are ignorant and think oh it's just polar bears. Well we can save the population thats left. There's nothing I can personally do to change the government they're gonna go ahead and do what they want anyway.

    We should take care of what we do to save the aquamarine ecosystem. I don't need any sources it's life. Jerk.

  • i looked at that ice cap melting graph like 10 times and i still cant believe it... that amount of ice melting is just... mind blowing... and very upsetting.

  • it makes me cry everytime i think too much about it.

  • I didn't know global warming caused that much of the ice cap to melt away.

  • lets just hope the earth is in a cycle.

  • @dahabit sadly, as soon as the ice retreats in summer the super powers are now moving in and taking resources of rubies and oil. When the ice is due to re-appear it is too late - it can't come back

    "Wikileaks cables show race to carve up Arctic"

    my god, no wonder these super powers have done nothing to stop global warming when they have known the retreating ice will be a scramble for the resources.

    Hillary Clinton is one of the guilty and she is, like all these vile beings, souless.

  • You know what would be really cool? If we take our hardy arctic animals to the moon if we were to ever terraform it and have them live there. I think that would be pretty rad and would help preserve them.

  • Crikey, those birds that dive at nearly 100 meters deep!... wow

  • And with water that cold, damn!

  • these birds sure are cool.

  • This is the national geographic channel; very professional. Love it. The cinematography is stunning. Must watch in HQ.

  • I wonder what the cameraman felt under those ice?

  • cold?

  • I'm the 7,000th viewer

  • after watching this i feel cold :D

  • no matter what is the truth, let's no contaminate the water and air....

  • waoh. they said narwhales. i thought they were instinct?

  • well meh we all die 2012 :p

  • May I ask you if this'll be nite time or day time and what hour please ...

  • lol

  • Global warming is REAL it's a NATURAL cycle of the earth as it cools and heats it self. MAN made global warming is the lie and propaganda... :)

  • Amen Bro. Well said.

  • is the narrarator gay?

  • Narwhals, narwhals, they're the cow of the sea-ea-eaaa! Narwhals, narwhals, also known as the manatee

  • Sounds more like a tuning radio to me. ;p

  • Have you ever wondered why there is an abundance of cuter animals in the arctic? Penguins, belugas, polar bears, it's like someone wants us to save the arctic just because they're cute, screw that!

  • I love Polar Bears! D:

  • i don't understand how in the past when ice caps melted during the summer it was natural but now when they melt it's called global warming

  • Its because when they melt now, they melt a LOT more than they used to. And a lot of it doesn't refreeze so the ice caps keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller. =\

  • Woaaaaaah!

    :s0!!

  • maked me think that when if all melts not alot will change :0

  • cool video

  • the person commentating sounds like the guy from spiderman. I dont buy this global warming bullshit for a second. ps i think thge russian subs should be callec christof vodka one and two

  • What is the cause of ice caps and melting and glaciers moving at an unsightly pace then?

  • You are an idiot, you need to get your ears checked, then watch Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth". You're the one drinking to much vodka.

  • i am a true believer in climate change, but al gore's movie is quite biast, he manipulates graphs and diagrams, and also takes pictures in different seasons of the year to prove a point.

  • That's interesting. Do you know where I can find info to back up that statement?

  • No, but if you just pay attention during the movie. It'll will be quite clear to you. I respect Al Gore for the fact that he made climate change high on the charts of governments. But i stay on my point that he did used untrue facts.

    Maybe true in certain contexts but not in which he put them in.

  • Al Gore sucks cock.

  • u know that.............cause ?

  • There's a video of him sucking cock.

    Algoresuckscock . com

  • idiot, please shoot yourself, and this would give something back to earth! a moron less on earth!

  • And that's why fish farms are necessary for the sustainability of ocean life. Our population is growing and growing and there's just not enough...might be too late though. Hopefully not.

  • Walrus fail 3:57

    LOL I'm sorry i know global warming is a big issue but i can't stop laughing at the fail.

  • k well we all know global warming is bad but it cant be stopped even if its a natural cycle or not...

  • might as well try 2 delay it tho

  • Nobody cares about polar bears.

  • fuccckk you

  • i rather think., nobody cares about an idiot like you.

  • Armando

  • anglea

  • Kk Whatever

  • if the arctic ice keeps melting will it help the polar bears any if they are transplanted to antartica? or will this potentially cause a whole new set of problems like so many transplanted species have caused in the past?

  • i think that it would cause more problems. It will make things 'unbalanced' and whatnot

  • That would be devastating to the ecosystem of Antarctica. Just think of what a single polar bear would do to penguins, especially during the penguin's breeding season. Not to mention Antartica is melting to, so it wouldn't be a lasting solution. It'd just be a larger problem.

  • If u think a polar bear can catch that many penguins they deserve to go extinct ::P

  • apparently if and when all that ice melts microscopic bacterium which were frozen during the ice age will become regenerated and because we have never seen some of these types before it could kill us all.. so us + melting ice + microscopic bacterium = death to us all in a nutshell.. ha

  • meh

  • wow a sponges can be carnivores..

    thats so fucking cool!

  • I wish more people would see this video.

  • next week we probably wont have an artic no more. imagine all those animals that cant survive in warm temperatures.

  • Next week? There is a difference between decades and a week you know.

  • dude anything can happen. and u say "Next week?" its just like a figured of speech.

  • it sounds like Martha Stewart narrated this.

  • lmfao

  • i hate how some people just don't give a shit about them and still carry on with their ways until this day and the arctic might just not be able to be saved

  • they will give a shit when they willbe dying from heat anyway. i think 90% poeple of the world do give a shit about nature but nothing they can do about it cause 10% of big millionares and businessmen control them. fucking nanigoat

  • ice melting...

  • Very interesting :)

  • peaceful, nice voice over

  • nice scene yet sad since arctic is melting

  • cool vid !! :D

  • Narwhals Narwhals Swimming in the ocean :D

  • causing a camotion caus they are so awsome

  • nice
