    Gabriela Mariana Supuran You're right. At the time I was shooting this, it seemed exciting. Now, it strikes me as ominous. I recommend the National Geographic documentary "Chasing Ice". I think there is a KZread clip that shows only the major calving scene, but the full documentary chronicles the sudden and dramatic retreat of glaciers worldwide.

    rachit10 That is a great movie. The thing that struck me about it while watching it last year is that it came out in 2012, but the photography had all been done years before, like from 2004-2007, and then they'd spent the intervening years processing the photos and then making the movie... so all those photos were way out of date already by the time we sat down to watch them... and then when we think of the rapidly accelerating rates of climate change, it's like: How much further, and how much faster must those glaciers have been falling apart since then to now, and how much further and faster over the next several years? - Will there even just be anything left at all of them all in another 10-20 years?!

    Robert Jones - No, it is not just a "fact of life," but instead, it is a fact of physics, just exactly like if you put another blanket over yourself at night you will be warmer; just that this time we're putting blankets in the forms of CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, which is stopping the heat from escaping back out into space.

    I think the first speaker misidentified what he was seeing. Horizontal layered ice is stratification, where vertical cracks are striations. It's when those cracks deepen and split the ice that initiates calving. Still a fascinating sight, showing us the nature of our planet.

    My wife and I were there on the Norwegian Sun, in August 2015. We sailed up the bay in rainy weather that closed right in and reduced visibility to about half a kilometre. Up ahead, we could hear thunder and suddenly, the mist cleared and there was this immense wall of ice stretching across the bay. The cold air flowing down the glacier cleared the mist away and gave us a perfect view. The "thunder" was the ice cracking. We stayed there for nearly an hour and saw a lot of small-scale collapses, but nothing as large as shown here. It was our first big glacier - Fox and Franz Josef in New Zealand were our others, but Hubbard makes them look like someone tipped an ice cube tray on to the ground.

    We just came back from the same glacier on 6/2019. It no longer protrudes outward on the right side. You can now look down the length of the glacier on the right. It's also making much more cracking and popping sounds. So much more, that the sounds where overlap each other. The sounds of the stress fractures where so loud they vibrated your whole body.

    I've never seen a glacier in person so its amazing to watch one. Wondering why there are bands of deep blue ice in the "middle" of the glacier? I understand the pressure forcing out oxygen the lower you look, so logically all the dark blue should be at the bottom and none halfway up.

    LuvBorderCollies: Glaciers are dynamic. They are constantly moving; new & old layers slide over, under, & sideways across each other. Sometimes the ice & snow is caused by terrain (like mountains) to flip over, crush into itself, sections to turn on its side, (rounding a curve, squeezing through a bottleneck), as well as the sheer force of all the snow & ice pushing against itself, causing it to intermingle with newer & older ice & snow. Glaciers roil, like vegetables in a soup, falling all over each other as the entire flow flows along, being pushed upwards, outwards, & downwards through any space that will accommodate it. And look at all the dirt (soil & sheered rock) that make stripes & whole sections that appear black. Glaciers are a hodgepodge, almost like a "marbled" cake. Kinda neat that way.

    It is not forcing out the air. It is trapping the air in bubbles, then squashing them. Ice cores (Greenland and Antarctica) thereby hold a record of the atmosphere going back a million years plus.

    My first thought when I saw the ice split off was "why is glacier I've breaking off" called "calving??" Then my brain tossed out " because when the ice falls into the water, pieces of rock that has been locked in the ice falls as well and creates a milky-color around it. " Or not. And next I wondered how long it will be before something locked in the ice reveals itself, be it a micro-organism or a huge beastie, and destroys humanity, like an arctic honey-badger.

    Yes, they are surreal! I thought it was stunning as I was recording it. And that one last huge part breaking off just as it's going out of view.. crazy. I thought, did I just see that? I think what made that part interesting was the heat waves seen in the very long shots coupled with the effective "dolly right" that the ship was doing while I was recording. It gave it a 3-D feel and provided a sense of the scale (huge) with the ridge in the foreground. Those last seconds are actually my favorite shots of the whole video. The long pan of the glacier took me two tries; it was so wide I had not positioned myself correctly to twist all the way to the left comfortably, so I had to re-stance and do it again. I also knew I had to get the last one right because I was running out of time. Thanks for the comment.

    Disappointing, considering the video duration. Minor calving.

    Thank goodness it's not one of those vids where people are whistling and wooohoo-ing like they're at some party. Hearing that thundering is creepy! It's beautiful but I hate the fact that it's melting to quickly

    Whoever the guide is, they would probably be pleased to hear that. I wonder if she's ever seen this video.
