Glacier Calving montage from Childs Glacier in Alaska, August 2019 Ground and drone shots 4k

Montage of several days worth of Calving as huge chunks of glacier fall off. Some as high as 300' fall into the Copper River below Child's Glacier near Cordova, Alaska.

    Glaciers are probably the most erosive feature on earth as a whole. The amount of material they can remove is incomprehensible to us. Glaciers can push material if they are over land and carve out those pristine valleys and fjords. Just look at Canada or chile to see the effects glaciers can have. The material on top is bits of rock that have fallen away form the sides of the valley wall.

    Great camera work!! It's to bad that you can't get the sound of the calving. The thunder that they create is almost as spectacular as the calving. You said that you might go back. Have you thought about tape recording them as well. It would be pretty labor intensive however. I videoed a bunch of calvings of Hubbard Glacier during a kayak trip which is on KZread. Tried to crank up the noise which didn't work out so well. Hubbard is now an advancing glacier. It recedes during global cooling.

I'm sure you had the ultimate anecdotal evidence of a global change conspiracy completely destroyed by that tour guide in Alaska because that is logical. Think of it like the stock market. Some days go down but the general direction has always been up over long periods of time. It's the difference between weather and climate. Besides, if you are smart enough to read a thermometer or tidal guage then you are smart enough to realize the Earth is warming and sea levels are rising. It's really that simple.

    The drone has a wide angle camera and the face of that glacier is the equivalent to a 35 story building. Wish there was a way to capture the scale. Plus you never know where the glacier will calf next. Get too close and you can miss one right next to you. It took about 30 hours of drone flights to capture these..For the smaller ones, I wish I had gotten closer but if I got any closer to the bigger ones I would have lost the drone. Then you never know which will be the big one or the little one. It's quite challenging. When I go back I have a plan to get a little of both. )

    There are thousands of videos shot from the cameras and video cameras from wider angles since it is easy to do. You just set up a camera on a tripod and hit record. This is the only known up close drone video of glacier calving. In hindsight, I would probably angle up slighlty higher but was trying to catch both the calving process as well as the impact at water level with the residual waves but that glacier face is 330' tall and to capture it all from the top to the water level is nearly impossible given it's a quarter to half mile area where the calving occurs and there is little to no warning.
