A few kilometers away, we see the first ice blows.

在几公之外，们看了第一批浮冰。

Well, let's consider a world without floating ice.

好，设想一下没有浮冰的世界吧。

But what if you apply this to glaciers and floating sea ice?

但是如果这发生在冰河以及海洋浮冰的时候呢？

All these bits of glacier that have just fallen off from up there.

这些是从冰川上掉下来的浮冰。

The polar bear has kept up with the retreating ice pack so far.

眼下，浮冰群退，北极熊就跟。

And as it breaks apart, it triggers an annual summer migration.

待浮冰融化之时，一年一度的夏季迁徙就开始了。

They are permanent floating sheets of frozen freshwater.

它们是永久的淡水浮冰。

Rescuers and locals tried to free them by pushing ice blocks from their path.

当地居民和救援人员帮助移除浮冰。

Saw much heavy pack ice and a great number of large icebergs, also field ice.

发现大量重浮冰 许多大冰山和大浮冰。

Plants and animals that have previously drifted toward Antarctica may have been destroyed by the floating sea ice that constantly crushes and scrapes against the coastline. Alternatively, they may have been unable to survive the cold.

之前漂向南极洲的植物和动物可能已被不断撞击和刮擦海岸线的浮冰摧毁。或者，它们可能无法在生存。

Stuck in a thick field of floating ice off the coast of Antarctica earlier this month, the Coast Guard's flagship icebreaker, the Polar Star, was deployed to rescue the ship.

本月初，一艘邮轮被困在南极洲海岸外一片厚重的浮冰区，海岸警卫队派出了“北极星”号旗舰破冰船前往救援。

The 22- member Russian crew of the Academic Shicaoski have decided to stay on board, rescue team say could be weeks before the melting pack ice set them and their vessel free.

这22名俄罗斯船员决定呆在船上, 救援队表示浮冰融化，他们的船能够开动可能需要数星期。

And so the fact that on planets, such as on Mars, where you might have hydrothermal features under some of the ice floes that might make liquid water is very exciting.

因此，在火星等行星上，在一些浮冰下面可能有水热特征，能产生液态水，这让人感非常兴奋。

Generally, polar bears will starve if there are more than 100 sea-ice-free days during the year because they primarily rely on sea ice to hunt for seals and other prey.

一般来说，如果一年有100多天没有海上浮冰，北极熊就会饿死，因为它们主要依靠海冰来捕食海豹和其他猎物。

As sea ice melts, energy and oil companies are taking it as an opportunity to search further North for untapped resources, using a process known as seismic blasting.

随着海上浮冰融化，能源和石油公司会以此作为机会.使用地震爆破的技术来向北寻找未开发的资源。

By that afternoon, NUI was back on board, having helpfully surfaced under a rare patch of thin ice rather than the thick floes covering the area.

了下午，NUI已经回船上，幸好它是在一片罕见的薄冰下浮出水面，而不是覆盖该地区的厚浮冰。

It was now early spring, and the river was swollen and turbulent; great cakes of floating ice were swinging heavily to and fro in the turbid waters.

此时正是早春时节，河水上涨，澎湃汹涌；大块的浮冰在浊流缓慢地漂荡着。

They live all around the world, from the mountains of South America and Arctic ice floes, to the bamboo forests of China: bears.

有一种动物遍布世界各，从南美洲的群山、北极的浮冰，国的竹林，都有它们的身影，它们就是熊。

One of us might be in a submarine beneath the arctic ice floe, the other is flitting through the salons of 18th-century Paris.

也许一人正在北极浮冰下的潜艇，另一人正流连于 18 世纪的巴黎沙龙。

Except for that grueling ordeal under the Ice Bank at the South Pole, we had never felt better, neither Ned, Conseil, nor I.

因为既然们能忍受得住南极大浮冰下的艰苦考验，那们——不论是加拿大人、康塞尔，还是——就什么都能挺得住。
