Doctors are heralding an extraordinary transformation, in the treatment of a deadly coming up this week, form of skin cancer. Iceland without the ice. Ten years ago, advanced melanoma was seen as untreatable, but a Clinical Trial shows half how a changing climate of patients are now surviving is affecting the landscape. For at least five years. Ben get some tips on how to vogue the drugs involved target like a pro in new york. The immnune system, and are already available on the nhs. Our health and science and alex takes a trip up the mast correspondent, James Gallagher reports. Of a very special sailing ship. Pam smith is alive and well, but its been more than five years hey, im stuck since she had the devastating news that her cancer was untreatable. An aggressive melanoma had spread inside her body and she says she didnt stand a chance. But pam took part in a pioneering trial and says it saved her life. Without having those drugs like that, i might not have got to see my grandchildren. So. Because its just over the five years now since it happened and my youngest grandchild, hello and welcome to the travel show with me, ade adepitan. He was six at the weekend. This week, we are so, you know, i wouldnt have kicking off in iceland. Seen him growing up and the other it is a country famous grandchildren as well. For its natural beauty. But as cat moh has been finding out, ten years ago, people usually died within 6 9 things there are changing. Weve all seen it on the covers of magazines, and the footage of nature documentaries. Stunning images of a landscape from which iceland takes its name. But these glaciers are more fragile than they may seem, and they have a story fit for a storyteller. There was an immense crack. The ensuing earthquake was greater than any experienced since man first walked the planet. My name is andri magnusson, i am a writer in iceland, i have written childrens books, poetry, plays, Science Fiction and non fiction. We are in an example of what has to happen to all coal fired power stations in the world. I am part of a group who made a creative place out of it. What is your connection to glaciers . My connection to glaciers is more through my grandparents. My grandparents were Founding Partners of the icelandic glacial research society. And they went on a glacial honeymoon in 1956, for three weeks. And they were stuck in a tent in a blizzard, and i asked them when i was a child, werent you cold . And they said cold . We were just married. I didnt understand how you get warm when you get married. But i found out later. This has been family mythology, our brave grandmother, a pioneering woman on the glacier. But if i had written 20 years ago that glaciers would melt in the lifetime of a single human being, that would have been sci fi at the time. Well, now it is not sci fi any more. Its just sci, science. Andri, hello. Welcome. Hi, im cat. Welcome to my power station. Thanks its not everyday i get invited to power station. So these are your grandparents. Yes, this is icelands highest peak, 2119 metres. Grandma is not even wearing a coat, is she. No, its good weather there. So i slightly interrupted you, can i help you hang these up . I am choosing what photos i would like to use in my book. I will put this one up here. Andre, how does looking at these photos make you feel . They have always made me feel nostalgic, proud, but they are also a slice section of time, that is, this is the first generation that was able to enjoy glaciers, and we only have three generations that will live that period. So then the glaciers will go, and after 300 years, these photos will be totally alien to that generation, especially in iceland. When the ice has left iceland. Andri wanted to take me somewhere to show me just how quickly the landscape is changing. About 10 of iceland is covered in glaciers. But glaciologists now believe that all of icelands glaciers will be gone in just 200 years. We meet a guide to help navigate us on a long walk high up into the clouds. Here are the colours replacing the flowers. Here are the bulbs replacing the stars, here are the brands replacing the species, here are the freezers replacing the glaciers. This is the eye of the storm, the reason for everything is right here in my cart. Tell me about where we are standing right now. We are standing at this memorial plaque which is where 0k glacier used to stand. 50 metres above us, should have been an ice sheet across here, 30 years ago. But that has now completely vanished, and we only have these remains of dead ice around us. Five years ago, when 0k glacier was no longer heavy enough to lift itself up and move, it was declared dead. The amount of ice here has decreased dramatically. Researchers from Rice University in america recently drew attention to the loss. They approached andri to write the inscription for the plaque, commemorating the dead glacier. Its a strange situation, because how do you memorise the sky . It is something big, firm, eternal, it pushes in two directions. It points from here to the future, and it points from the future back to us. Will you read me what you wrote . Yes. Here it says, a letter to the future. 0k is the first icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening, and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019, 415 ppm of c02. Thats the amount of c02 in the atmosphere, and actually the cause of the melted glacier. And that is rising, about 2 3 ppm every year. But still, hundreds of glaciers remain here. I left andri and went with my guide to solheimajokull glacier, the icy tongue of icelands fourth largest glacier, which covers nearly 600 kilometres square. Its also suffering under Global Warming. Leifur runs Carbon Neutral tours here. Do you think it is necessarily a good thing to encourage tourists to come to places where it might be their last chance to see it . Notjust here, but anywhere around the world, isnt thatjust making a bad situation even worse . I think you can always question to fly and travel. But if you do, whether it is to spain or to iceland, then at least i think it is good that people are educated about nature, about glacier behaviour and how Global Warming is affecting the glaciers. But step down from the glacier to its lagoon, and here you can find a whole new perspective. You can actually see how quickly the ice is melting look at all the water just dripping down into the lake. While a certain amount of meltwater each year is normal, its the rate of loss at glaciers like this that is unsustainable. So how deep is this . Close to the glacier it is about 60 metres deep. Has it changed much in the time you have been coming here . Oh yes, enormously. The lake didnt exist, just recently, it is just ten years old. This lake is ten years old . Yes, it was starting to form in 2007 as a tiny pool, and now the glacier is melting at 100 metres per year. First i found it really interesting to be living in a land where you could see the changes. But then, when you see it at this scale, it is frightening and a bit sad. I have a gift for you. What is the gift . A rare diamond. laughs . A rare diamond inside, there is trapped air that has been there for hundreds of years. That is incredible. Its so clear, isnt it. Its crazy. The ice may be beautiful, but it is a stark reminder that unless something changes soon, seeing and experiencing icelands iconic glaciers is a privilege that few further generations will have the chance to enjoy. Stay with us, because there is plenty more to come on this weeks programme. Ben is in new york, for a voguing lesson. And we rejoin alex on the second part of his adventure at sea. This time he leaves his chair behind to get a truly birds eye view. Dont go away. Back in the early 90s, madonna had a huge global hit with her single vouge. Almost 30 years on, it looks like voguing is back. So we sent ben hunte to new york to learn some attitude. This one should be good. Voguing has impacted me in so many ways. Before i started voguing i was a less confident person than i am now. Its helped me break out of my shell and be more expressive, not be afraid to be like, boom, this is me. Voguing, a dance, a culture and for many, a lifeline. 0riginally born out of the harlem renaissance in the 19205, through time, voguing became a form of expression for a sometimes marginalised community. Most voguers were lgbt people of colour and the surrogate houses and families at the centre of the subculture provided a vital support when the hiv pandemic hit in the late 80s. The dance poses were inspired by fashion runways and magazines, hence, the name vogue. And during balls, members of the different houses came together to compete against one another. Today, lessons are popping up everywhere and im off to pick up some moves. Hello hey, man, hows it goin . Good, how are you doing . Good, welcome. Thank you. So i got our vogue essentials class today that were going to be doing here at gibney. So, blade, blade. And im pushing, just like your pushing through like some fudge orsludge, its like, heavy. A screen, yeah . Trying to show it. Look at me, im on my throne and im showing it off. Boom. Boom thats why your hands are here, so its framing that face. From here, three, four, five. Six, seven. Eight. 0oh, jeans are a little bit tight i know, mine are too, dont worry. Voguing, what is voguing . Million dollar question. Really short, voguing is telling your story through poses and movements. One, two, three, up. The same thing i got which was the love of dance, the love of vogue, i want you to take this love and then take it home and then go from there. Voguing is now more popular than ever before. Hit tv shows like rupauls drag race and pose have pushed this unique dance form into the spotlight once again. But to really understand voguings history, im heading back to where it all began, harlem. This is the imperial elks lodge, home of ballroom until about 1988 so its 80s ballroom. This was our church, it was our political rally, it was our worship, it was ourfun, it was our protection. And what type of people came here . What brought them together . Trans folks created this. In fact, only trans people were participating in drag balls for almost 50 years before ballroom. People were being kicked out of their homes, kicked out of their families because of being lgbt and those kinds of things but also the notion of being kicked out of family is also kicked out of your black family or your latino family. Sadly, today spaces for lgbt youth are sometimes still rare but Sexual Health charities often host what are known as kiki balls. Predominantly for a Younger Generation of voguers, these balls help to bring people to their services. What does all of this mean . Is there any social meaning to it . Its a way of life. Honestly speaking, cause this is something that we naturally do. This is our kinship, this is how we party, this is how we come together. Like, this is who we are. Luckily, the rise in popularity of voguing means there are balls and classes are all over new york city where anybody is welcome. Six, seven, and go back in class, its time for my big moment. Ok, so ive learned the key elements of vogue. So now were going to put it all together into a routine which im going to flop, its going to be horrific, but you know what . Its fine, because as long as its a fashion. In the words of madonna, i was ready to let my body move to the music. But i dont think ill be winning any trophies anytime soon. Take him over. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. This is everything. And freeze 0k, bro, i wouldnt give up your day job just yet. You need to work on that. Well, to finish off this weeks travel show, were going to head off to sea, because if you were watching last week, youll remember alex setting sail on a ship that invites disabled people and able bodied people to sign up as crew for three orfour days. Now theyre out on the high seas so lets see how they got on. Hello. How are you feeling . Good, thank you. Im doing much better now. After a stormy and pretty sleepless night at the sea, its time for breakfast with my shipmates in the mess. Its called happy hour, where everyone works hard, washes and makes everything spick and span, except ive lost my team and what im meant to be doing. Many years ago, we had a young lad come on lord nelson and he had multiple sclerosis and he didnt get out of the car, he was helped out the car by his mother and father, popped in the wheelchair and we pulled him up the gangway. After two weeks on here, he walked off the ship with the help of the sticks, didnt want his chair, and his mother and father couldnt believe it. And thats why we run it. Thats why we do what we do. 0n the final day, the beautiful weather gave me the chance to do something that ive been looking forward to but also secretly dreading, climbing the ships mast. Luckily, im not going first, though. Its kind of amazing. In fact, it is mad. Oh, god. For some of the folk who dont quite get what we do to start with, this is the point where generally they all get it. Dont like this one. You know how hard it is, you just did it. Yeah. It looks a lot easier than it is. Its ten times harder. Oh, my god, you were amazing. How do you feel . 0h, great were you scared . No. Youre amazing. Right, youre definitely going to be the best at this, alex. Because you have seen it like five times now. Am i . Well, im glad you have confidence. Ifeel like i am dancing here. Hes not dancing back, i dont think hes interested. Im excited now, i want to get it done. I say that now, though. I mean, once im halfway up, i might change my mind. This is a handle. Youre going to have to grip towards you, 0k . And basically, it slides up the rope but when you pull down, it grips and it will pull. Grip heave im stuck 0h, here we go. Cheering and applause. I cant really explain it. Its hard to get up there but once youre up there, my god, its amazing, its like youre a bird. You can see everything. Its weightless as well so youre just free, and ive never had that, ever. And its really, really high, just to make that point clear. Its very high. But its very nice. I didnt want to come down, but it was beautiful. You want to do it again . Ill go again now, you guys . Yeah, is that all right, yeah . After almost a week at sea, finally land is in sight. 0ur destination, port harbour. We can see land. I miss land quite a bit. Overall, though, its been. Actually been amazing. Its been hard, as i keep saying, but its been worth it. As a person whos in a chair, especially in my case, its often quite hard to explore. As a kid, i kind of had to ask other people for that help and you kind of have to imagine things and thats why i would write books and things, or read books and have ideas. I couldnt really do it, so i had to write it. But in here, its quite nice because you actually go on board and you get to do that stuff and go on the seas which is lovely. Ive been up a mast which i dont do every day so that was actually amazing, really. Ive never, ever thought i could do that. Well, thats it for this week. Coming up next week. Christa is in greece, tojoin a dig, uncovering some amazing historicalfines. Found an artefact 0k, check that out if you can but dont forget you can follow us on social media too. But for now, from me, ade adepitan and all the travel show team, its goodbye. Hello there. A soggy, blustery night will lead into a wet and windy sunday morning across many parts of the uk. 0n the satellite picture you can see this swirl of cloud, a developing area of low pressure that has been bringing some very heavy rain, some very strong and gusty winds, and as that low pressure system slides its way across central and southern portions of the uk, through the first part of the day we will see some strong and gusty winds on the southern flank. This little lump of showery rain here could well include some very squally and gusty winds as it slides its way eastwards. Now as we go through the day ahead, parts of the midlands, east anglia, wales, down towards the south coast will see a mix of sunny spells and heavy, thundery showers. Persistent rain will continue to pile in across parts of northern england. Northern ireland and scotland should brighten up with some spells of sunshine and just the odd shower, temperatures of 13 19 degrees. But where this rain lingers for any length of time, well, there certainly is the risk of some travel problems and some localised flooding. Now, as we go into the evening, notice of the light lines squeezing together on the back edge of this low pressure system. A swathe of strong winds blowing across some of these eastern coastal counties, combined with high tides, that could cause some coastal flooding. Now, through the night, one or two showers pushing across the northern half of scotland, clear spells elsewhere and the odd mist patch and temperatures will dip away. Quite a chilly start to monday. But all things considered, a calm start to the day for the majority because of this little bump in the isobars, this ridge of high pressure. But it wont last long. Here comes our next low pressure system swinging its way in off the atlantic. So as we go through the day, well see yet more rain pushing across many parts of england and wales. I think parts of wales particularly as this rain continues to pile up could well have some problems with flooding. The further north you are across the uk, more on the way of dry weather and just the odd shower. Chilly here, though, 10 degrees in aberdeen, london at 17. And then we look ahead to tuesday, that area of low pressure churns its way eastwards, rain mostly for england and wales, some showers blowing into the north of scotland, some sunny spells here as for northern ireland. But those temperatures really dipping away across the northern half of the country, 9 12 degrees. And, as we push that area of low pressure away into the near continent, as we move into wednesday, follow the white lines, follow the isobars up to the north. That is where our air will be coming from. A plunge of chilly air right across the uk for the middle part of the week. So even in the south, temperatures no better than 13 or 1a degrees. And for the end of the week, well, theres the chance we could see more wet and windy weather. Welcome to bbc news. Im reged ahmad.
