At least there is some information here. Many appreciate this. This is not that mindless, empty babbling you get on almost every other channel. This is in fact the only channel where I don't mind the narration.
A video doesn't even come close to being there in person as the sounds crack & rumble in ways that leave you awestruck. It was one of the most magical experiences I've had in my life.
Glaciers have been calving for thousands of years. They are rivers of ice that will always flow into the sea. They look spectacular, but it is natural. Unnatural would be if they never calved.
great video, really enjoyed the stunning visuals! but honestly, it's kinda scary how these glaciers are melting so quickly. some people think it's just a natural cycle, but it feels like we've really accelerated this process with climate change, and that worries me a lot. what do you all think?
I live a 1/2 hours drive from Fort Erie and I remember this happening and driving down the next day to see the destruction. It was amazing to see the power of mother nature is astonishing
This video is amazing, but all of this is *very* much touched by human activities. This is a natural cycle that happens seasonally, but dramatically accelerated by climate change.
@@ut000bs You're making assumptions about me; I majored in environmental science and this subject is very familiar to me. Here's a paper to read, one of many that conclude that increased glacial calving is a widespread phenomenon linked to regional and global climate change that is anthropogenic, ie, caused by humans. you can copy, paste into a search engine, and read for yourself: *** A century of variation in the dependence of Greenland iceberg calving on ice sheet surface mass balance and regional climate change G.

@@ut000bs Seems like my last reply got deleted, automatically or by the channel. There are many, many scientific studies that confirm regional and global climate change , caused by humans, accelerate glacial calving. Search for just about any paper on the subject, and you'll see that this is broadly accepted as scientific fact.
Actually, during the Medieval Warm Period crops grew on Greenland and they had wineries in the UK as in France. Neither exist today. It is too cold. (A few of the things they don't teach anymore for some reason.)
this video is really impressive, great job capturing such powerful moments! i can't help but wonder though, are we witnessing nature's beauty or the result of climate change? it feels like both a warning and a spectacle at the same time. what do you all think?
The climate is always in a state of change. There was a quarter-mile of ice over the spot I am sitting just 20,000 years ago. There were lot more glaciers then and they all melted and the Earth didn't explode. In regards to climate change/global warming/man-made what you should be asking yourself is if CO2 never slowed its rise where has all those $trillions of dollars gone that the West has been forced to hand over?
Australia can lay claim to being the world’s largest island (3.5 x size of Greenland) and the world’s smallest continent…… But unfortunately no spectacular glaciers like these beauties!!
great video! loved the stunning visuals and the incredible power of nature. but honestly, i can't help but wonder if these glaciers collapsing is more about climate change than just natural processes. some might say it's just a part of the earth's cycle, but the speed at which it's happening seems alarming to me. what do you think?
"…but the speed at which it's happening seems alarming to me." Is it happening too quickly here? I am not sure what you mean. The climate change you speak about is politics. Glaciers that calve like these are GROWING. They calve when the ice grows out over the water too far to support the weight. They break off and become icebergs.
That little boat immediately knew that it had to run for its life... 1:25 That Argentinian bridge glacier 12:15 is a touristic attraction that brings people every year around the same date with the hopes of catching the collapse when it happens. Every winter the glacier advances and blocks the river, creating the full wall. Then the river carves the bridge until it collapses, repeating it over and over every year like clockwork.
@@rm-jl8wy The summary, R.M. is that it's freaking cold up here! At -40° below, it doesn't matter if you're talking celcius or Fahrenheit. It's just plain COLD! 😻
I've seen this first hand at the Mendenhall Glacier....a huge piece broke off and sent a 6ft wave towards the cruise ship we were one at the time......AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine seeing a calving glacier, listening to the rumbling and cracking of the ice... ...and then there's Kevin and Karen screaming "OH MY GOD", "Did you see that?", "WOHHOOOO", "This is so cool!" and don't forget the "God bless America" at 23:02 🙄
And the expletive laden American language demeans human communication in the face of natural events…..thank heavens for the constrained and thoughtful use of a rich language elsewhere on earth…..
Why would he do that then no one would know where all this is happening and explaining things.if it bothers you do , you do realize no one is making you watch this dont you?????
@@lindaolphin7897 The subject is very interesting. The vids are spectacular. The commentary is very much....not. So far 11 people agree with my comment.
There is no such thing as an "Ice Tsunami"! This is called an ice shove where the surface ice is shoved onto the shore by the wind. A tsunami is is a whole other thing.
We saw the ice bridge at Puerto Moreno glacier in 2006 before the ice bridge gave way. We also climbed it from one side to the top. What an incredible experience ❤
In the 1800's my home city once experienced one of the greates flooding in history. The river, that goes through the city is it's lifeline, but in that one year, the entire city would be drowned. The reason for it was the winter before. More ice than ever has frozen up the entire lake and when it broke off, the ice and dammed water all came in at once. The origins for this disaster was persumably one of the largest vulcano explosions happening around the same time on the other end of the world. The ash blanket that spread over the world caused massive temperature drop. So much so, that the following year the winter never stopped for the entire year, causing the abundance of ice and water to destroy my city after.
While Im sure this is an astounding sight to behold, the sound of tourists has to be one of the most annoying sounds of all time. The man shouting "I GAD EET, I GAD EET. WOOOO" at 3:01 made my ears bleed.
Observing the melting of ice layers genuinely worries me. Seeing large ice regions disappear each year is not just a clear sign of climate change but also a strong reminder of the urgent need to take action now.
@@Pops-km8xt The rapid increase in global temperatures over the past century aligns closely with the rise in greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. Scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that human activities are the primary driver of the current climate change, far exceeding the natural variations that occur over thousands of years. So, while natural processes play a role in Earth's climate, the pace and magnitude of the current warming are largely due to human influence.
They’re not. The antarctic ice shelf is beigger now than in decades. The sad truth is that science has been corrupted by a manufactures crisis called climate change…all the hysteria is just a ploy to keep research grants flowing into university researchers. BTW. The alarmists used to scream global warming. But the earth failed to warm, and the oceans didn’t rise so now the activists scream about climate change. That way they can never be held accountable.
@ut000bs The first one is the Hubbard glacier. Look it up. It has averaged 30 meters advancement per year since 1895! The first time I visited our cruise ship sales up into the Russall Fjord, and in 2022, when I last visited it, the Fjord was almost completely blocked by it!
@@terenceiutzi4003 some glaciers advance and some retreat. That is normal for this time. We are still coming out of a glacial maximum and I expect we will probably lose more ice over the next couple thousand years. Also, the sea level will rise more. It is actually rising now more slowly than we would surmise. There is some simple math to always remember when listening to politicians talk about "science." _science + politics = politics_ There is no science. Edit: also, people look at me strangely when I mention the Earth does not need glaciers.
you're going to ask in a youtube comment section rather than go and read actual research articles that explains exactly that? you think you're being funny but you're really just being ignorant.
this video is really well edited and captures some incredible moments! however, i can't help but feel like these dramatic glacier collapses are a bit overhyped. sure, it's fascinating to watch, but aren't we also kind of glorifying climate change impacts instead of addressing the urgent issues behind them?
Wow, volcanic ejecta is measured in cubic kilometers and Mt St Helens' 1980 eruption was only about ONE cubic kilometer, and you say some glaciers calve off SEVEN cubic kilometers?! That's remarkable!
There is always a loud obnoxious tourist being over dramatic That’s one of the drawbacks of these small ice glacier tours On you tube, I turn the volume off , but when your in the boat with these inconsiderate tourists, there’s not much you can do
It's difficult to appreciate the sheer size and scale of these glaciers and the pieces that break off. An indication of the height is how the smaller pieces seem to be falling in slow motion and the several seconds it takes for them to hit the water. The size of the splash from the 'smaller' pieces give you an idea of just how big those pieces were. Those walls that collapse are probably a couple of hundred feet high and weight tens of thousands of tons. Nature is truly magnificent and we are so insignificant in comparison.
The power of nature is overwhelming and fascinating. Thank you for sharing!👍
The sheer force and captivating allure of nature are truly incredible. Grateful for the share!
