    WTF is up with video quality? This would have been better in HD or even SD in something better than this crapworthy 350kbps 1997-esque terrible video quality.

    It didnt melt that fast because of reasons not entirely known to me, ice that is really old and more compressed has a higher melting point. Like mount Rainier in Washington. It is half glacier and half volcano but the magma does not melt the ice.
