The Canadian Press / Handout - University of Alberta / Scott Zolkos

In Canada’s Northwest Territories, an unnamed lake broke free, plummeted and created a temporary waterfal 5 storys high . It released the equivalent of 12 Olympic sized swimming pools. 

This is a prime example of how climate change is altering the artic landscape.

A video below was released by the government of the Northwest Territories shows how the lake, undermined by melting permafrost, collapsed into a valley below and created a large temporary waterfall, mud and debris field too.
