Dangers of Discovery’s Alaska Week
April 17, 2008 by Healthy Shana
We all know that the glacier’s are melting at an alarming rate due to global warming and a myriad of other things. Check out this brief clip below as Discovery Channel as they try to get under a glacier to see what is going on and how fast the water is moving under the glacier.
Watch as someone, maybe a cameraman or the host, of Expedition Alaska rappels down the ice and eventually slips and falls into the water. Really scary sight as the water is moving quite rapidly. Check out the entire week of shows Discovery’s Alaska Week April 20th-26 to see who falls and how he is later saved. Expedition Alaska premiers on April 20th at 9PM ET/PT.
