Unreal mate! Well captured.

Fantastic footage. You see the results of these at the bottom of these gullies so you know they happen but rarely get to see them. Great job.

And this, brothers and sisters, is how mountains become molehills. Great video.

Many thanks. Thanks for keeping the camera so still. A lot in one take. This shows how it flows like water. (3/25/21)

You can imagine being right at the bottom of the valley. "At least there's no chance it will make its way all the way down here" "Huh, it's getting closer but must be about to run out of steam" "Oh fck!"

Less peaceful to watch from below.

The amount of secondary, tertiary material it brought down from the lower slopes and way it just flowed all the way down the valley is pretty frightening. Really shows the real dangers of traveling even miles away below these areas.

If I can ask the photographer the film this one question it would be. Did you ever consider that the bottom of the Shelf you're standing on or mountain side of snow could give away underneath cascading down eventually making its way up to your level?

we were originally planning to go down into that valley but the temp was waay too warm, warmer than forecasted so avalanche/ rock fall risk was too high. So just decided to have lunch there and we noticed the rockfall increasing in intensity, so decided to get the camera out.

Serac nothing, that was a rockfall that happened to take the toe of the glacier with it.

great vid

What the video doesn't show is the 5 oz European Swallow that was carrying a 1 lb coconut from North Africa across the Alps to the Kingdom of Mercia becoming too tired to carry it any further and dropping it at the top of the snow field causing that whole event to take place. If it had been an African Swallow this whole thing might not have happened.

Quand le soubassement rocheux s'effondre sous le glacier, l'énergie potentielle de la masse glaciaire se transforme en énergie cinétique, qui se dissipe en chaleur générée par les chocs qui fragmentent les blocs de glace ou les fondent en eau liquide.

haha, the NZ Southern Alps are in a state of steady state erosion where the uplift is same as the erosion rate, hence why it is such a narrow range. Major mtn ranges of the world get wider because erosion rate is too slow and the overlying weight of the mtns are too heavy to be further uplifted causing another adjacent range to pop up etc.
