The video explores the unique blue color of glacier ice, explaining that it results from the absorption of red and orange light frequencies by water molecules. Unlike regular ice, glacier ice is compressed over time, eliminating air bubbles and allowing light to penetrate deeply. The video delves into the physics of light, discussing wavelengths, frequencies, and overtones, and how these contribute to the blue hue. It concludes by highlighting the environmental impact of melting glaciers and the role of vibrations in color formation.
