Shot on an iPhone 6 as close as humanly possible without being crushed or washed away!
Note: Wait for the blue iceberg in the background to rise up and then roll over at the end.
Those colors are absolutely gorgeous! I could watch this all day!
Wow! Just WOW! I could watch this for hours.
Pretty cool..with that jewel blue iceberg in the background. Nature is awesome.
So mesmerising to watch, so envious too. Did you notice how flat and smooth the bottom of the blue berg, hundreds of years sliding over the rocks... Amazing footage, thanks for sharing 👍🏼😊
This is taken at the western edge of the Svína-fells-jökull (Pig-mountain-glacier). The "dirt" in the ice is not really lava, just gravel rubbed off the mountainside by the glacier.
In Iceland this type of glacier is called Skrið-jökull (Crawling-glacier).
The color combination between the glacier, the mountain and the grey sky is simply beautiful beyond belief...
Iceland is on my bucket list. A volcanic paradise.
That was probably the most exciting video of a huge iceberg calving off the main one I have seen because of the blackness from the volcanic ash but that underbelly of bright blue ice as well::: spectacular@
that was amazing. you're very fortunate to have witnessed. thanks for sharing.
Oh wow that was so awesome.
WOW, this is just amazing. Thanks for sharing this video with us :)
This was a great video. I've never seen it that dark before. Thanks for explaining why it's dark.
Amazing video, glad you shared it for the world to see :)
The ice might be 10,000 years old (or older) but I seriously doubt its been "there" in "that spot" for 10,000 years. The Jakobshavn Glacier moves up to 66 ft a day. Fortunately the wind noise forced me to turn the volume down.

Thank you for this wonderful experience Olen Adventures this was a unique experience
Great video
just mother nature doing her thing! wonderful to watch!
Majestic how it all just happens in slow motion
very cool!
DOUBLE RAINBOW
Wow that's amazing to see how it just rolled into the sea, very cool indeed... Thanks for posting.... Cheers!!
This is an exciting thing to see, I am glad you were fortunate to film it.
EARTH is a living creature...maybe she's just flexing her muscles getting some much needed exercise...LOL!!!
awesome
Is this the "double rainbow" guy ? He has the same voice
Good shots.
Nitpicks.
It hasn't been 'there' for 10,000 years. Svínafellsjökull has grown and shrunk multiple times since 8,000BC, and glaciers move anyways. That chunk of ice MIGHT have been a part of the glacier 10,000 years ago. It might be younger. It definitely wasn't at the terminus of the glacier 10k years ago.
The island was covered completely by the ice age ice sheet for millennia. However, following 1000 years of warmer climate around 6000 years ago all the glacial ice was gone - the island was then ice free. This lasted for 2000 years during which time a birch tree forest covered much of the island. Some scholars estimate as much as 40-60% of the island had a forest, excluding only the highland interior. Around 4000 years ago the climate shifted again and began to cool somewhat and then again 2.500 years ago when it began to cool significantly, at which time glacial ice began to form again. Any glacial ice in Iceland is therefore a maximum of 2.500 years old and most of it is only a thousand years old or less.
in the year one thousand there were fractions of glaciers in Iceland, Vatnajokull was in two small parts. The type you see in the video is called skriðjökull and you could translate that to crawling-glacier because its constantly moving like an extremely slow avalanche :) these glaciers aren't that old. probably about 2-300 year old. Lakagigar erupted in the late 1700 and temperature dropped quite some in the following years. I would bet that this crawling glacier is an after effect from something like that.

@@howser1961 in that area the ice is quite young there was a survey done and the oldest ice found in Vatnajökull was just under 1100 years old.. this can be seen by researching its ash layers.... a simple google search can confirm what im saying
what an incredible moment to have witnessed. thrilling,
awe inspiring, and absolutely frightening at the same time.
The ice here is, in fact, only about 1500 years old not 10,000.
Wow!! (noticing all the other wow comments and I agree...WOW)
Вот это масштаб!!!!!
Это ерунда. Вот масштаб ruclips.net/video/hC3VTgIPoGU/видео.html
So, whatever bacteria or weird pathogen was laying dormant in that glacier since the end of the ice age is now free?
In the description it reads: "Hundreds of years not thousands." So how old was this ice?

Thank you. That's some fascinating information.
God makes his nature what he wants
Buddy forgot to say : Oh the humanity in a teary voice of course....LOL.....
you should have seen the Bacardi coke at happy hour...... i had to have like 4 more i still cant believe it.... i can still kinda still type too...i still cant believe it... OMG
It has not been the for 10,000 years.....
WOW!
VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Природа бунтует!!!!
I won't be amazed when a part will break off holding a frozen dynasaur who will come back to life after defrost...
Seen to many movies...
👌
Well don't just stand there. Do something!!

This happens once in a lifetime .
That was awesome. 🇧🇻
it's difficult to tell the actual size
Yeah
big
I wanted to climb that piece of ice when i went there last month but i didnt had any tools and even though it doesnt look that big on the surface in the video,believe me it is.Now that i see this video I am happy i didnt do it.
Yep before long Oceans will rise before you know it
Wonderful, exhilarating footage and quite unique - you were fortunate to witness this amazing event. However facts must be stated accurately. None of the glacial ice in my native Iceland "has been there for 10.000 years". The island was covered completely by the ice age ice sheet for millennia. However, following 1000 years of warmer climate around 6000 years ago all the glacial ice was gone - the island was then ice free. This lasted for 2000 years during which time a birch tree forest covered much of the island. Some scholars estimate as much as 40-60% of the island had a forest, excluding only the highland interior. Around 4000 years ago the climate shifted again and began to cool somewhat and then again 2.500 years ago when it began to cool significantly, at which time glacial ice began to form again. Any glacial ice in Iceland is therefore a maximum of 2.500 years old and most of it is only a thousand years old or less. Owing to the geographical position of Iceland, the summers can be warm and quite pleasant and the winters can be freezing cold (and sometimes pleasant) - both seasons experiencing quite a lot of precipitation, rain and snow. Due to this, the glaciers have always oscillated. There is always a lot of summer ablation which is then replenished the following winter - except in the last 20-30 years where the winter replenishment is unable to keep up with the summers melting - which is actually a "year-round melting" of late. What you witnessed is a direct consequence of that increased melting. Also. the glacial advance of Svínafellsjökull, (if one can use that term as the rate of advance is now no longer greater than the rate of ablation and is more accurately a retreat) which results in spectacular calving events, such as the one you saw, dumps huge icebergs into a newly formed lagoon at the terminus of the forward moving ice - not into the ocean - which is in fact a full 27km (16.8m) away, downriver. Thank you for posting this amazing footage and you (and everyone else interested) are welcome back to Iceland, post Covid, and I will be happy to guide you and show you the sights :-) Stay safe.
Lol
SubhanAllah. Allah Hu Akbar!

I had to mute the audio, being so over dramatic.
When filming a once in a lifetime event: Rule 1: Hold the damn camera still. 2. If you are going to pan, do it slowly. 3. Give us more than three minutes. You do, however, get points for clear focus. None of that fuzzy UFO crap.
What does this mean ??? #yosemitebear

So this never happened before what, 1970?

some people don't understand the art of shutting up and appreciate a scene of nature...
I hate commentating on such videos, it's not rocket science, we can think for ourselves!!
OK whay is ice derte ? polution !!!!
Ice in water.
Amazing....
Mute the Audio, thank me later :)
you were right , I should have read your comment before watching../ listening.

Thank you, global warming
+miguel escobar Glaciers have been breaking off this shelf for millions of years.
@@AndyFromBeaverton Actually NO - The island was covered completely by the ice age ice sheet for millennia.

@@howser1961 Actually, no to your no. If glaciers had not been breaking off for millions of years, those glaciers would be the height of Mt. Everest. In fact, glaciers by definition are "a slowly moving mass or river of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow on mountains or near the poles."
@@AndyFromBeaverton Well - you seem intent on missing the point. Ice has NOT "been breaking off this shelf for millions of years" as you so elegantly put it because as recently as 3000 years ago there was absolutely NO ICE on the entire island - not on this "shelf" nor on my entire my home island, Iceland. So I guess it's a no to your no to my first no.
@@howser1961 Well - you seem intent on missing the point. Go back to Feb. 13th 998080 BC and another million years before that and ice was breaking off that glacier. Not the entire time, but it's been happening since the time of dinosaurs. Is it that difficult for you to understand?
Great video but the narrator needs to learn more before he speaks
Great video - Sorry to be a nay-sayer, but WHY can't people just shut up so we can hear the sounds of Mother Nature? I just don't get it...We can SEE what's happening - we don't need a play by play narrative. F.
This type of thing has been happening for thousands of years. Don't give me any crap about climate change. You're lucky the spot on which you were standing didn't break off and roll over as well. Great video, nonetheless.
To much talk
Wow...pretty goddamned boring!
Just like you.
Amazing video, glad you shared it for the world to see :)
