Thank you for posting without music or talking. Just hearing the sound of the crashing glaciers is so awesome. See glaciers rising out of the water like huge whales is something I just can't describe. The beautiful blue coloring of the glaciers, is something unforgettable.
I really like that you don't hear people squealing and saying "Oh my god" over and over. The sound of the wind is a perfect counterpoint to the power of the ice moving up and down.
I was just about to frantically yell "oh my God" as soon as I heard that baby glaciers are referred to as "calves"! Being that glaciers spend the first part of their lives on land, and the latter part in the water, I'd categorize them as "amphibians". Therefore, I assumed that newborn baby glaciers were either called "tadpoles" or maybe "froglets"..... (not my best attempt at humor ever).

About six months ago I think there was a huge glacier calving in Antarctica the glacier retreated more in 30 minutes than it did in the past hundred years
I love this, I've also watched dozens of these and this was the best. I really liked how everyone just watched in awe, no hooting, or cheering like they're watching fireworks. Beautiful!
That water at the foot of the glacier must be REALLY deep, for those enormous icebergs to roll around like that. That's crazy stuff! I could stand there and watch that for days....
Huh Huh Why, is it super cold? Well, the first thing I always do in these glacier calving situations, is to start a technical climb of the most unstable areas that are about to collapse. Once they start collapsing, I quickly swap my crampons for snowboard boots, grab my snowboard off my pack, and snowboard down the collapsing chunks. Then I quickly strap on my ice hockey skates, and skate around the sides of the iceberg as it rolls in the ocean. Why? It's challenging!
jumper F22 Not if I was wearing my dry suit. But wearing a dry suit would remove the element of danger, and make it less challenging. So I'd probably just do it completely naked....
First limiting view, jiggling too, I was skeptical. But in less than a minute view changed and it is spectacular! One of the more unusual videos of this kind I have watched. Most you see big chunks falling in water but to see extremely huge pieces the size of ships coming up from under the water very different. Excellent.
The height of ice wall above the water is something on the order of 52 meters (170 feet). I estimated this using the fall time of a dark chunk at 1:29 that seems to free-fall for a moment.
A bit of advice, Hugo, in the future try to either get closer or zoom in. Get a good position and stay in it while holding your camera steady. See that guy standing in front of you with his hand on his hip? I want to see HIS video. I bet it was great! Best wishes.
WOW!!! Before one of us dies, I really want to take my Mother there to see that spectacularly awesome spectacle....There's nothing like the power, beauty and violence of Mother Nature. Agree, Anyone? Thanks for the crazy cool post!!!
I had the opportunity to watch many icebergs calve from my kayak when I paddled the Inside passage from Bellingham, WA to Skagway, AK (twice). Pretty exciting when your in a small boat on the water even at a safe distance as you can get surrounded by bergy bits which can be quite hazardous. Sad to think that there may not be any permanent ice left on the planet by 2100.
¡Gracias Argentina!, por tanta belleza, coexistiendo, al mismo tiempo con magníficas selvas y las cataratas de Iguazú en Misiones, y tantas otras zonas únicas.
Are these year long events? i'm really interested in doing a trip like this than going to another exotic country in asia again, drinking beer, and going to the beach.

The best time for them is the end of summer (March), but massive ones as in the video are quite rare.
Those things are fucking COLOSSAL. Just the fought of a fucking building sized thing rising out of the water and coming back down careening towards the surface of the water gives me goosebumps.
Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing. Was is noisy? Could you feel any vibrations through the ground from where you were standing?
7 лет назад+2
Thanks! Yes, it was very noisy, from the ice breaking and from the wind, which was blowing very strongly that day. No vibrations from the blocks of ice falling though, they would be caught by the lake.
I would have ran away and nobody would have seen this, for I’m a whimp when it comes to things that are so overwhelming, maybe even fainting! Very proud of you!!!☺️
Looked like there was meltwater behind the ice helping to 'push' the ice 'wall' into the bay. As the ice collapsed into the 'bay', it raised the bay water level and as this water flowed away it helped to carry the icebergs away from the ice wall. Pretty frosty eh.
There's always a massive low in the Gulf of Alaska pumping Pacific moisture onto those very tall mountains so close to the coast . . . that's where the snow/melt is before avalanches create glaciers.
Hey great video but i always wonder how and what the size of every Icebergs are.. if anyone goes to watch some ice burgs flipping or falling in the Future i wud like you to put a fake human size dummy and a lil boat near the Ice if possible for size comparison..
About the most spectacular ice wall calving I've seen. Those mountains of ice popping to the surface, and bobbing about to settle for the most balanced position, is like whales moving on slow motion or buildings collapsing.
The colours are breathtaking, and it is such a relief NOT to hear women screaming, blaspheming and using obscenities (as they appear to do on so many other calving videos) instead of remaining quiet before the majesty and tremendous power of Nature. Absolutely beyond magnificent, and also tinged with sorrow because such collapses are encouraged by global warming.
If I didn’t know better, I’d swear that about the 1st several minutes,, about the 1st 2-minutes are filmed in some kind of, 3D? Or something or another. Because the icebergs are in some type of strange blue hue format or another. Versus the folks in the for-ground.
Thank you for posting without music or talking. Just hearing the sound of the crashing glaciers is so awesome. See glaciers rising out of the water like huge whales is something I just can't describe. The beautiful blue coloring of the glaciers, is something unforgettable.
The blue coloring is phenomenal. This is one of the better calving vids I have seen. No screaming idiots, just raw nature in all its Glory.
I really like that you don't hear people squealing and saying "Oh my god" over and over. The sound of the wind is a perfect counterpoint to the power of the ice moving up and down.
I couldn’t agree more with you about the insane idiotic over and over and over OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! I get so sick of hearing that horse 🐴 shit!!!
Obviously no americans were around

This never gets old. I've watched it numerous times over the last couple years. The power of the calving & shooting is so well shown in this video.
Those shades of blue are AMAZING
Yeah those huge deep blue blocks of ice just look almost magical.
I believe it’s more stunning when watch it live.

watched tons of videos like this, this has to be the most movement in large glaziers I have seen to date, major WOW
calmeblondy same! This was spectacular!!
It’s my favorite of all!
Check out Perito Moreno Glacier. Also in Argentina and I think considered one of the most active Glaciers.
Cheers

Dry lips can be a problem, but since I pack light, I use whatever nature provides. Typically I'll use pine tar as lip balm..... Lol
this brings tears to my eyes; the scale of the event and raw emotion it evokes; I am happy to be alive.

That is stunningly beautiful. The blue ice is amazing and so much just keeps coming up, its like watching a huge sea monster raising from the deep.
Just imagine that this was probably the first time this ice had seen any sunlight in thousands of years
That is amazing
more like billions of years.
@@clouut more like thousands
...and the sunlight kills it!
Think how pure it would be as drinking water. Makes me thirsty.
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen! I can’t imagine what it must have been like in person

You kept such a steady hand while filming - thank you for sharing - what a fantastic experience
No he did not....well, not at the beginning!!
The noise is!!!!! Get a windsock
WOW, seriously one of the best RUclips vids. MUCH thanks.
The sound must have been huge. This is my best calving video ever. Thank you.
My mouth is still hanging open. The thrill of nature. Thank you so much for sharing. Breathtaking!!!
The colour of that blue ice is amazing!
Probably the best glacial calving video anywhere - just keeps on going and going...
I will never get over that beautiful blue colour in the ice!!!!!
tiredmummy me neither. Absolutely gorgeous!
Well i did, because i live there jajaja
@@kingofthenorth1295 its in el calafate, argentina. Actually its not just a city, its a big zone, more especific "Parque nacional los glaciares"
@@kingofthenorth1295 there are more beautifull glaciers and nearer
Ice, sir? Said the glacier to the ocean.
Wow that ice looks beautiful
What if that ice was tanzanite!
yeeeeah it iz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ice ice baby
First signs of life ending ......
roydamanna that ice hadn't seen daylight for thousands upon thousands of years. We're killing this world. 😔
The colours trapped inside the glacier make this so incredible.
WOW!!! Before one of us dies, I really want to take my Mother there to see that spectacularly awesome spectacle....There's nothing like the power, beauty and violence of Mother Nature.
Agree, Anyone?
Thanks for the crazy cool post!!!
Spectacular spectacles are spectacular.
You have to do it, its not very expencive, and there are others glaciers an flora & fauna
@@TIMEtoRIDE900 I could not have said that better myself, thank you
@@franraffo5435 it sounds wonderful, thank you
EXTRAORDINARY!! Best related content video I've seen so far. I swear, I could watch ice calving for HOURS!
Camera guy keeping a very safe distance 😂
Yes, I think this segment was filmed from somewhere in Florida 'cause he is really far away.
@@mecha175 🤣🤣🤣
yes, so dumb, he should have gotten into the water with a boat so we could see better through a cell phone sitting in a chair
@@juanpablogonzalez198 You sound like your name...
@@unaninanine3743 ok nina neine!
I can’t believe those pieces of ice are like 100x100x500m it’s mind blowing. That last breach was insane

This would be absolutely unbelievable to witness!! That blue is so beautiful!
That was so bad ass. I hope someday I can witness such an awesome sight live and in person. Thanks for sharing such a cool video.
Take that flat earthers, your wall is crumbling and the oceans are still here.
Love that!
Amazing. That deep blue color is so beautiful.

This is really massive. I wished the cameraman would have been more detailed with the Glacier instead of the rocks!
Even though the camera was a bit far away, this was one of the best glacier videos I’ve seen!
Absolutely ... and those who were standing as witnesses to the event were awed into silence.
Seeing the bottom side of that piece of glacier float away after it flipped over is pretty cool, you can see the contours of the ground in it.
Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing. Was is noisy? Could you feel any vibrations through the ground from where you were standing?

Without being there, it's hard to imagine the size of the glacier and how deep it goes below the water level.
Mother Nature wins the award for a most spectacular display of ice breaking! WOW!
Absolutely amazing.It must have been awesome to be there. Thanks for sharing this.
The forces of nature are amazing!

God controls everything NOT nature.
Bob sapp Which god?
No such thing.
If God did this then I'm left to assume God is an 8 year old child that likes breaking things for shits and giggles.
Bob sapp Well one could say God IS nature as he is a part of all creation.

I had no idea how deep these glaciers are till about @2:35 where a huge chunk of ice began to float up on the right.
Spectacular! Was tbere any way the people knew something would happen in advance to be there or was it serendipity?
No, you cant guess when its falling down, but maybe you can know in what part of the year you could have more chances
Stunning!! That blue color is gorgeous.
the best real footage! Thanks for sharing :)
Mother nature: just a little reminder what I'm capable of
One of the best ones I've seen. Amazing color.
The force of nature is amazing, and also beautiful! That color blue sure is something
2:10 looks like a big ice monster rising from the water
WOW!! I don't think I have ever seen ice look that blue Georgeous!
terrific video. thanks for posting.
These events happen in a minute... And you were right there! Wow!, nice catch!
Kudos to the camera man, well done.
beautiful blue colors
Breathtaking
That was great......and no sodding music, that is refreshing !
The best part 2:35 suddenly a whale like glacier appears out of nowhere and rises high to the sky. Just amazing! "Naturally dangerous beauty."
@Stresx. I thought you were referring whale to this. 2:00
There's always a massive low in the Gulf of Alaska pumping Pacific moisture onto those very tall mountains so close to the coast . . . that's where the snow/melt is before avalanches create glaciers.
I like watching calving videos. This is THE most amazing.
Hey great video but i always wonder how and what the size of every Icebergs are.. if anyone goes to watch some ice burgs flipping or falling in the Future i wud like you to put a fake human size dummy and a lil boat near the Ice if possible for size comparison..
This video is the best of iceberg on youtube.
So blue, my god it's beautiful!!
That is such a beautiful shade of blue.
The blue’s in the ice was absolutely stunning. That was some crazy stuff. I just kept saying WOW😱😱
It's blue because it's so highly compressed. That ice is thousands of years old.
best glacier video I've seen!
Whats that blue stuff called?
About the most spectacular ice wall calving I've seen. Those mountains of ice popping to the surface, and bobbing about to settle for the most balanced position, is like whales moving on slow motion or buildings collapsing.
Pale, almost glowing, crystallized blue fragmenting into the icy ocean below, humanity is dwarfed by this majesty of the arctic!❤
Wow! Amazing! How is it that so many people were there to witness this?
Building size ice calving on each other = EPIC
look at that brilliant blue
Currently learning about glaciers in geology, truly amazing stuff if you ask me.
As they flip, I wonder how many thousands, if not millions of years those surfacing mountains of ice have been hidden?
That is the most beautiful color of blue!
That wind looked pretty strong.
I want to visit Canada or Norway. Can I see anything like this?
Would love to know just how deep that water is.
Wonder if part of that noice is the wind?
For goodness sake! Hold Still!
I would say it was a lil breezy there, maybe sustained 30-40 mph+
Never seen a more stunning shape of Blue. EVER.
All that lovely clean blue ice!🤩🤩🤩
Wow, I'm just glad people didn't start clapping.
Nice video! But tell me how so many gathered to watch as if it is a scheduled event?!
It happened when our ice trekking tour finished, amazing coincidence ;)
Thanks! You are all lucky and thanks for the capture!
Life!!! WOW!!!! What a Joy!!.. And this is going on here on Earth!! What is going on outside of are Milkyway?????
The colours are breathtaking, and it is such a relief NOT to hear women screaming, blaspheming and using obscenities (as they appear to do on so many other calving videos) instead of remaining quiet before the majesty and tremendous power of Nature. Absolutely beyond magnificent, and also tinged with sorrow because such collapses are encouraged by global warming.
Can someone please tell me how come the ice is so incredibly dark blue?
Which way to the Fortress of Solitude?

Does anyone know what gives the glacier ice that lovely blue color?
Water.
The glacier its snow compacted
is that blue color for real? beautiful!
Amazing! where is this filmed
In the Viedma glacier, in the Argentinian Patagonia.
nice!
