The Ice Age: How 2-Mile High Glaciers Shaped Earth | History for Sleep

Описание: Welcome to Episode 2 of "The World of Ice"—a comprehensive new series mapping the complete history of the Ice Age. In Episode 1, we saw the drowned world. Now, we climb onto the monster that drowned it.
Fall asleep to the story of the "Glacial Machines." Imagine standing at the foot of a wall of ice three miles high. It stretches from New York to London. It looks dead and frozen, but deep inside, it is moving.
In this relaxing history documentary, we explore the hidden physics of the massive ice sheets that once buried 30% of the Earth. We trace the journey of a single snowflake as it is buried, compressed into blue rock, and forced to flow like a river over thousands of years. We discover the hidden lakes trapped in darkness, the terrifying "Surges" that can destroy a landscape in days, and the grinding power that carved the valleys we live in today.
From the crushing weight of the Laurentide Ice Sheet to the "Zombie Ice" that still moves beneath Greenland, this is the biography of the ice itself.
Designed as a Bedtime Story for Grown Ups, this immersive journey features calm, soothing narration and a "Planet Earth" style atmosphere. Drift off to the sound of the silent engine that sculpted the world.
