纪录片《冰冻星球》 第86期 履于薄冰（18）（在线收听）

Andy has been studying Antarctic ice for 25 years,

25年来 安迪都在研究南极冰层

but even he is blown away by what he's seeing.

但就连他也被眼前的景象所震惊

Now, that is pretty awesome. That is remarkable.

真不可思议 太奇妙了

The edge of the ice shelf has just, kind of, disintegrated.

冰架的边缘有点崩裂

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.

就好像是某种慢镜头下的爆炸

It all pushes outwards very quickly.

迅速向外推进

Every one of these huge icebergs will slowly drift out to sea.

这些大型冰山都将慢慢地漂入大海

To study how fast that happens,

为了研究崩裂发生的速度

Andy needs to get closer to the action.

安迪得离得更近一点

We're going to look around and see

我们打算四处查看一下

if we can find a place where we can land.

看是否能找到落脚点

And if we can, we'll be able to put down an instrument

如果找到了 我们就可以放下一台设备

that will help us monitor the big icebergs

以便在冰架破裂的时候

that are breaking off as the ice shelf breaks up.

拍摄到冰山是如何形成的
