It is silt content in the river which is not only normal but what makes that river so important to the ecosystem of a huge area.

Well.. the bottom drags along the bottom! The crest doesn't get near the dirt. It has long been described how moving ice carves out new landscapes. The 'carvings' get swept up an carried along!

Glaciers are probably the most erosive feature on earth as a whole. The amount of material they can remove is incomprehensible to us. Glaciers can push material if they are over land and carve out those pristine valleys and fjords. Just look at Canada or chile to see the effects glaciers can have. The material on top is bits of rock that have fallen away form the sides of the valley wall.

It's natural dirt.

(volcanic ashes, dust, sand)

C'est la crosse de l'humanite quand il n'y aura plus d'eau douce avec son egoiste aura tout Detruit nature annimeaux et qu'il n'y aura plus equilibre faudrais pas pleure c'est Porche plus que l'on l'on pense voila cela a deja commence et le monde s'en fou puisqu'il continue a se rejete la responssabilite Ps la nature est plus forte que l'homme elle vis sans nous Allors ???😮 😢

Mega MindyLou Watching glaciers can without sound sucks.

I was thinking the same thing...you can see things much better.

i cant get into the heads of people who destroy nature for petty shits and giggles. like shooting an animal just to leave it there

Duncan Wallac: Probably silent to shut off some stunned people screaming. For which I am truly thankful

@@psefti aah yeah the inevitable 'woo-hooing'.

I totally agree. The vids that play music instead of the sounds of the ice make me sad.

That was already explained, the sound of people's reactions was to loud to hear the calving of the glacier. There are some moments of spund.

I didn't lose a drone here but did get close. It took about 20 hours of flight time to put that 10 minutes of video together and there were a couple of close calls. I'm no stranger to losing drones though. I've lost drones in hurricanes, near tornadoes, hitting power lines over water and have many with gimbals that don't work from water and wind damage.

Go take a look at the Hubbard glacier it is advancing as much as a meter per day!

Tiffany Lowles glacial ice is around 10,000 year old. Antarctic ice is over 1.5 million years old.

Its true nature

All gratitide to the photogrpher who clipped Wrath of THAT ALLMIGHTY I E NATURE

It's a glacier on the Copper River which has a high silt content. It is normal and healthy.

About 100 meters tall.

Silt on the Copper River. It's normal.

Child’s Glacier is located on the Copper Rover which contains large amounts of silt. It is normal.

Glaciers carry huge amounts of ground rock, debris and gravel beneath and in them - the ice wears the rocks down - , so it's ground down rock that gets flushed into the ocean..

It is not seawater, it is on the Copper Rivef which has some of the highest silt concentrations of any river. Completely normal and healthy.

The top of the glacier varies between 60-100 meters tall. It's so much bigger than it looks without anything to give perspective.

No, almost all of the Alaska's glaciers are retreating, most of them rapdily. Child's is one of the few that is not retreating.

@@WxChasing sorry but the Hubbard glacier is the fastest growing glacier in the word! And the last Alaskan glacier tour that I took half of the glaciers were longer accessible because glaciers have destroyed the roads to them And one of the glacier we toured the guide said that it would soon be gone because it advanced 1 meter in the winter but receded 2 feet every summer. And on the tour of the mendinthal glacier the guide said how fast it was receding and I showed him the photos that I took 5 years before and pointed out how far it had advanced! And he tried to make me delete my photos! The stories of glacier retreat are all fraudulent

@@WxChasing you do know that calving only takes place when glaciers are rapidly advancing past the terminus. I have been on many retreating glaciers and you can always walk up onto them because the terminus melts down to the moraine!

@@terenceiutzi4003 Hubbard is one glacier, there are an estimated 100,000 glaciers in Alaska of which a large majority are retreating. I'm sure you had the ultimate anecdotal evidence of a global change conspiracy completely destroyed by that tour guide in Alaska because that is logical. Think of it like the stock market. Some days go down but the general direction has always been up over long periods of time. It's the difference between weather and climate. Besides, if you are smart enough to read a thermometer or tidal guage then you are smart enough to realize the Earth is warming and sea levels are rising. It's really that simple.

@@terenceiutzi4003 Both retreating and growing glaciers experience calving for a multitude of reasons. Some are far more active than others. Some are safe to be near, others are not.

Thanks, the watermark isn't for promotion, it is to prevent theft which is quite a big problem.

The drone has a wide angle camera and the face of that glacier is the equivalent to a 35 story building. Wish there was a way to capture the scale. Plus you never know where the glacier will calf next. Get too close and you can miss one right next to you. It took about 30 hours of drone flights to capture these..For the smaller ones, I wish I had gotten closer but if I got any closer to the bigger ones I would have lost the drone. Then you never know which will be the big one or the little one. It's quite challenging. When I go back I have a plan to get a little of both. )

Or he used the same clip twice because one is in slow motion.

The glaciers are disappearing due to interference by Satellite EMF RADIATION rather than the acclaimed global warming cause by human activities.

There are thousands of videos shot from the cameras and video cameras from wider angles since it is easy to do. You just set up a camera on a tripod and hit record. This is the only known up close drone video of glacier calving. In hindsight, I would probably angle up slighlty higher but was trying to catch both the calving process as well as the impact at water level with the residual waves but that glacier face is 330' tall and to capture it all from the top to the water level is nearly impossible given it's a quarter to half mile area where the calving occurs and there is little to no warning.

Makes sense...haha...duh

It is actually exciting to see our LIVING planet. To think everything is dieing shows you listen to too much liberal garbage.

Global warming is a real issue, but glacier calving happens no matter what because the glaciers themselves are always moving like a river toward the ocean causing the ice by the ends to crack. It's a constant cycle

@@gododgers3491 Climate change is an issue tho. But the point here is that glacier calving will happen no matter what because glaciers naturally flow toward the ocean. Forcing the ice to break at the ends

It is dieing for a fact ......people just dont understand that 5000 years from now what do people think will happen when all the ice melts??.... of course it's not gonna happen over night that's why people enjoy seeing it and ya I get it we should enjoy the wonders our planet has to offer while we are on this planet but the actual picture mother nature is painting us is that our emissions are and will continue to melt our ice caps and glaciers worldwide

And there will come a point in time that inevitably our planet will have no more ice on it .maybe not anywhere near our life time but will definitely happen wether we like it or not. Which is probly the reason we are so desperate to find life else where.
