The glacier was literally melting under their feet.

Why BS ??? Any sane person standing within a 'melting' glacier probably wouldn't make it out of there alive. Something about instability of such a rapidly melting structure or some sort .. and of course there is all that slipping and falling into a ravine and such. I call BS on this 'observation'

In 1960 I went into the Rhone Glacier in Switzerland. A tunnel had been dug deep into the glacier and a plank walkway to walk on. You could hear the water trickling out under the planks to form the Rhone River. Fabulous experience! Never will forget it.
