Crying Glacier

kottke.org September 19, 2025 By Jason Kottke

A short documentary with the recorded sounds of a melting glacier.

When you look at this gigantic mass of ice, it’s hard to get a personal relationship to it. So we wanted to document this landscape to give us an idea of what it sounds like inside a glacier. There is also the sadness because you know that all these sounds are disappearing right now. Of course, melting is something natural for glaciers, but the problem is that nothing new is coming back.
