INCREDIBLE COLLAPSE TRIGGERED BY GLACIER CALVING | South America, Chile
An incredibly large chunk of the Grey Glacier's ice-sheet breaks off and flips over in a spectacular way in Southern Patagonia, Chile. The ice-sheet of the Grey Glacier is currently declining due to increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall. It is part of the 'Southern Patagonian Ice Field', the world's 2nd largest contiguous extrapolar ice field and the largest freshwater reservoir in South America.
The Grey Glacier is famous for insane glacier wall collapses during the summer when large icebergs - often up to 100 feet in height - are breaking off the glacier and collapsing into the water of the 'Lago Grey'. In the right time of the year big blocks of ice break off the glacier and drop into the water. The waves created by such glacier calving events often splash dozens of meters through the air. The glacier itself is about 6 km (3.7 mi) wide and has an average height of over 30 m (100 ft) above the surface of the water.
Thankfully, no-one was injured as boats stay at a safe distance from the glacier (for a good reason).
Glacier calving, also known as ice calving, or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. The sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier or iceberg often causes large waves around the area and can result in a "shooter" which is a large chunk of the submerged portion of the iceberg surfacing above the water. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. (Find out more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cal....

I worked in Alaska for a summer on a glacier tour boat. The oldest and most compressed ice is the blue color but only from this vantage point. Up close it appears completely clear. It is reflecting, or whatever it's called, the color of the blue ocean water below it. The top layer of the glacier you can see is white because it still has bubbles in it and refracting, or whatever it's called, sunlight. I cannot fathom how crazy it would have been to be on a boat watching that when it happened. We definitely had close calls the summer I worked there and we had to stay a safety mile away.
I find it so neat how blue that ice is. The part underwater was soo much bigger than I expected.

About 15 years ago I spent $145 on a guided walk on Grey Glacier, including crampons , ropes and harnesses. We were taken by a small boat to the glacier, on the far side where the ice met the rock, thought probably much further to the left given the retreat of the glacier face since then. Then we walked for probably a couple of hours, roped together before returning by boat. The blue of the ice where water channels cut into it was a blue I've never seen before or since. Probably the best $145 I ever spent.

And tourism is kept to relatively safe sites. You have to multiply what is caught on camera by at least a factor. The documentary Chasing Ice is a good one. They witnessed a calving event where over about 45 minutes an area the size of Manhattan, but almost a km in depth, fell away. It was the biggest ever filmed but there are really big events where ice sheets calve country-sized bergs.

You guys will never know this shade of blue. Videos don’t do it justice. When I first visited it was like something from Pluto. I had thought that my eyes had seen every colour palate know to mankind and I was humbly reminded and beautifully shocked. The blue is incredibly rich and deep, an awe some type of blue.

It's amazing the beautiful blue colors that the ice has at different depths. I was not expecting the bottom to be so sapphire dark blue as that.

ice has no color, it only appears blue from this angle because of the light coming from the sky, entering into the water, and bouncing back into your eyes through the ice, darkened by the absorption of deep seawater. if you were to look that very same ice from a normal distance, a couple meters or even holding it in your hands, it would appear like any other ice, transparent or white

This oscillation in warm and cold global temperatures has been happening since the beginning of time. We do not have accurate enough measurements to determine our exact impact on this normal cycle. It may be minor, or it could be extreme. But the change in bio diversity has been happening since before we were around, and will continue after we have left. The ONLY way for us to ensure that we truly have no impact on this cycle is if we all went back to living like we did during the Stone Age. That would mean BILLIONS of deaths across the globe which is not a good answer either. Green energy initiatives for the most part are as bad for the environment as fossil fuels so they aren’t a good answer either.
The range of color displayed is truly immaculate. Glaciers are the hands which carve this planet and deserve immense appreciation.

Holy mackerel! It's HUGE! Very deceptive with what's seen above the waterline. Good job.
