Incredible GLACIER CALVING & TSUNAMI WAVE Caught On Camera! | Glacier Wall Collapse (Greenland)
Huge Icebergs collapsing and breaking from the Ilulissat Glacier are often up to 3,000 feet in height (1,000 meter) and are broken up by the force of the glacier and icebergs further up the fjord. Subscribe for more ► kzread.info...
Greenland is home to the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica. The sheet covers 3/4 of Greenland's land mass. The Ilulissat Icefjord drains 6.5% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs. Some 35 billion tonnes of icebergs calve off and pass out of the fjord every year (Find out more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakobsh.... In the last 25 years, the Greenland Ice Sheet is rapidly melting, having lost 3.8 trillion tons of ice between 1992 and 2018, a new study from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) finds. The melting ice has added 0.4 inches (11 millimeters) to sea level rise. Its cumulative 3.8 trillion tons of melted ice is equivalent to adding the water from 120 million Olympic-size swimming pools to the ocean every year (Find out more here: www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.ph....
Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. 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. The waves formed in locations like Johns Hopkins Glacier can be so large that boats cannot approach closer than 3 kilometres. These events have become major tourist attractions. Many glaciers terminate at oceans or freshwater lakes which results naturally with the calving of large numbers of icebergs. Calving of Greenland's glaciers produce 12,000 to 15,000 icebergs each year alone (Find out more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cal....
About this video: "Incredible glacier calving & tsunami wave caught on camera" (Bo B.)
This video is showing huge icebergs flipping over and subsequently a series of multiple iceberg and glacier wall collapses. Due to the enormous amount of ice falling into the water, the glacier calving event even triggered a series of mini-tsunami waves up to 16 feet in height (5 m) breaking on the shore.

My guess is the lay of the land and/or collapse of the ice itself could have something to do with the size of the waves. If the slope was greater and the ice slid at an angle, I bet that wave would be catastrophic like the one that father and son experienced that was theorized to be upwards of 1700 feet high.

@@vicepedro yeah you guys are right. I googled it after that
Where can we watch this event unimpeded? The graphics covered the screen during the second calving. The data provided is good to know, can it be added in the description instead?
This was so calming, so exotic and so mesmerising.
Now I felt like we humans are so small and so helpless in such natural events.

That's probably the most relevant, accurate and intelligent comment I read about this video. It is true that humans, humanity, humans' activity since the beginning of humanity... got a small to neglectable effect on the present natural events named: "climate changes"

I believe there are a number of videos showing the tsunami as it passed downstream and out to sea. There must be nothing more unnerving than the tsunami coming up from behind.

That was unbelievably cool...all that power from ice and water!
that ranks about a 10 on the "WOW" scale, cool
I find it interesting to note all the sea-birds gathering. There are a few to begin with but as the event unfolds, loads of birds are seen. Clearly they do not perceive these events as hazards, but as opportunity to feed. Events such as this must be as violent underwater as above, thereby disrupting the submarine environment and exposing aquatic and benthic animals to predation, in the same way that Terrestrial insects are disturbed by combine harvesters, which are then followed by flocks of birds. The mouth of a glacier like this, being a very dynamic environment, is likely a favoured spot for predators like this and I expect the rocky shore areas opposite to, or nearby, the berg-calving zone will likely be heavily populated with roosts and nests. Very cool video, thank you.

@@leebowitz1987 , fair suggestion but sorry no, only the Emperor penguin and a small Andean finch - the white-winged diuca-finch (Diuca speculifera) are the only birds known to nest on ice. All other species find something else solid and secure, since ice sucks the heat out of nests & eggs way too quickly the parents cannot incubate them. Much more likely the birds know these calving events happen, because they happen on a fairly regular basis, and nest somewhere safe while using the disturbances as an opportunity to feed.
One drawback watching these is that we can't correctly estimate the size of glacier by video unless there is some scaling guide available in video or photo. Like on watching Tsunami waves, I was wondering it to be 1 to 2 meter high, but video description says it to be of 5m, that's enormous. Absolutely wild thing it is. 🤟
The party when i get there vs. when i leave 🤣
Wow man, I kept waiting for that huge chunk of ice to stop rising but it just kept going and going! Truly amazing and great self control to be able to witness something like that without saying word. 👍🏻👍🏻

It really gives scope to the might of the earth! It's beautiful and kinda humbling .
Thank you for the great photography And!! Keeping us High and DRY!!!
Wow the landscape totally transformed within a few minutes
I was struggling to get a sense of scale and then I saw the birds flying around in the last third of the video... holy shit

It's "berg", "Burg" means castle. But, you know, thanks to that tiny mistake you made, I realised for the first time that English uses the German word "Berg" in the term "iceberg", instead of "mountain".
Just the sound of cracking ice is eerie indeed
Amazing Glad it was captured on film for all the see... Amazing!
