    Watching glaciers calving while we lived in Alaska was such an intense experience. If you ever travel there, I highly recommend it. First the cracking of the ice breaking away sounds so unique, and then watching as the dirty ice changes into that deep ice blue is just breathtaking. It was quite the tourist attraction, with boat tours taking people to areas of the state not normally inhabited by people, and the ability to go whale watching on the boat ride out and back.

    I spent a few weeks around the Southern Patagonian Ice field. I saw something similar to the Viedma glacier on the Chilean side. The sight of a glacier front collapsing and the huge blue 'shards' rising out of the water as the ice re-balances was one of the most awesome things I've seen. I recognise the icy winds that were blowing in that first video - the winds coming off the Andes are fierce and sometimes blow you off your feet!

    Amazing video. 15:00 It is not just that the boat was far away enough. But the thing is that it's clearly on significantly deep water. Waves - especially the tsunami-kind ones (which is what they are) - tend to have a much smaller amplitude (hight) in deeper water, while having a much longer wavelength. If you look closely, you can actually see the waves coming, but it goes much more gradually. If there exists any other coast line behind the boat, the waves can still build up when approaching that coast while shortening in length (when the water depth decreases closer to that coast), and still cause a significant impact. In other words: it's completely possible that boats on the middle of deep water hardly notice anything while somewhere else effects are clearly noticable.

    I greatly enjoyed and found this video very informative. Though there was one error while talking about the Columbia Glacier. There are two Columbia Glaciers that the narration indicated were the same one. There is the Columbia Glacier where this caving event took place in Alaska and the Columbia Icefield in Banff National Park in Alberta Canada which is 1269 miles or 2042 km away to the southeast. Though this error does not take away from the importance of highlighting the dangers of our crumbling glaciers are having on our planet.

    Ice calving at a sea terminus is something glaciers have been doing for millennia. I think if you actually look at the extent of the ice sheets and mass of glaciers is defying experts' predictions and holding up in spite of our fears. The North Pole was supposed to be ice-free by now. There's a lot of climate revisionism being pushed by the establishment, right now. I'm old enough to remember the '70s, when the same people were warning about catastrophic cooling and a new ice age just around the corner. While I'll agree with you that pollution is bad, I'm not sure this whole CO2 thing is driving climate change significantly, and a lot of the people who're pushing the doom and gloom want to sell you electric cars that require a lot of filthy lithium and cobalt mining that may be worse for humanity and the planet than too much plant food in the atmosphere. There've been a lot colder and a lot warmer times in Earth's geological past, and CO2 levels seem to have very little to do with it. We may even be helping green up the planet by releasing CO2 natural processes would otherwise lock away from plants in the Earth's crust.

    When it comes to "Columbia", you have your geography completely muddled up. The Columbia glacier in Alaska is NOT part of the Columbia ice field; in fact, it is nowhere near it. The Columbia ice field is in Alberta and British Columbia in Canada - it does not extend into Alaska, and none of its glaciers reach sea level, so obviously there will be no major calvings from them. How could you get things so wrong?

    Even in the video, when they show the Columbia Ice Field from space-view, it is very apparent that it does not reach the ocean anywhere. As an European I am not particularly familiar with the geography of the region, but this contradiction caught my eye. And ironically this does not work as a simple mix-up of the glacier with the ice field either, because the ice field that supports the Columbia Glacier is not on the border of the two countries either, it is fully in Alaska.

    Absolutely! Many think the earth is failing because rising CO2 is causing a warm spell in earth's history and melting the glaciers. The ice has serious amounts of stored oxygen that the atmosphere needs to rebalance. This cycle may not happen in our average 80 year life span, but the earth survived its own birth. Nothing we humans can do to destroy it. The use of fossil fuels has lasted long enough for us to develop affordable and viable solar power that does not produce CO2. And since the sun's energy comes to us free of charge, it's right up there with wind and hydro power.
