Andy has been studying Antarctic ice for 25 years,
25年來 安迪都在研究南極冰層
but even he is blown away by what he's seeing.
但就連他也被眼前的景象所震驚
Now, that is pretty awesome. That is remarkable.
真不可思議 太奇妙了
The edge of the ice shelf has just, kind of, disintegrated.
冰架的邊緣有點崩裂
Some of the big pieces look like
其中一些大片
they could be a mile or more in size.
似乎有一英里 甚至更大
It's almost like a, sort of, a slow motion explosion.
就好像是某種慢鏡頭下的爆炸
It all pushes outwards very quickly.
迅速向外推進
Every one of these huge icebergs will slowly drift out to sea.
這些大型冰山都將慢慢地漂入大海
To study how fast that happens,
為了研究崩裂發生的速度
Andy needs to get closer to the action.
安迪得離得更近一點
We're going to look around and see
我們打算四處查看一下
if we can find a place where we can land.
看是否能找到落腳點
And if we can, we'll be able to put down an instrument
如果找到了 我們就可以放下一臺設備
that will help us monitor the big icebergs
以便在冰架破裂的時候
that are breaking off as the ice shelf breaks up.
拍攝到冰山是如何形成的
