'Watch: Entire House Swept Away by 'Suicide Basin' Flood' A glacial flood from ‘Suicide Basin’ in Juneau, Alaska, swept away houses and trees. The Mendenhall Glacier acts like a dam, trapping water in 'basins'. It’s predicted a record number of tourists will visit the area this year. But the glacier is disappearing due to climate change. It retreated the distance of about eight football fields between 2007 and 2021. It’s predicted that by 2050, it might no longer be visible from this visitor centre. While it’s not possible to link this week’s flood to climate change, it is changing the dynamics of the glacier, and making it less predictable. #news #nature #crazy Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
