Yeah, I wanna eat it.

+MiamiPush2theLimit Sure, but you would die from it...

indiesthlm how so?

MiamiPush2theLimit ;)

Be good with some cherry syrup.

If you keep zooming in and out, the people who watch the video are going to shoot you. (1) point. (2) zoom APPROPRIATELY: best is TO ZOOM out to see the big picture. (3) KEEP THE CAMERA STILL. (4) DON'T MOVE THE CAMERA. (5) *KEEP THE CAMERA STATIONARY* .

(6) Shut your mouth. We want to hear the ice and the water. Also the seagulls. Especially we want to hear the crack! BOOM! Roar! Ka-SPLOOSH!

I agree

You try holding a camera still while you rock on those waves.

If he knew to keep the camera still when zoomed it would have been a good closeup of that ancient, deep blue ice. In fact, he moved the camera around way too much and too fast the entire video. Even with the stabilization software it was just too much movement.

I know what blue looks like. The interesting bit of the video is the size of the ice that fell... which you can only see when you can see the whole margin of the thing, which means staying zoomed out. It just totally gets under my skin when amateur videographers think they're adding to their videos through dint of the willy-nilly use of a feature of their camera.

You're welcome lekoman.

Research0digo For what?

that is why you have to use prime lenses

+June Johnson why? you only get 3 wishes in life so don't waste 1 on THAT!!! how about wishing for a comet to hit the white house instead?

3 wishes lol

Darren Loke that bugged me as well. I get that it's impressive, no doubts, but they are just too cheerful about what happens there.

Milu The glacier will behave this way as long as the earth is not experiencing an ice age, but at a slower rate. This part of the Glacier is retreating at about 600ft per year, compared to about 100ft per year, 60 years ago. Ice from the ice fields is constantly pushing glaciers down to spots like this, flowing like a river, about 1.5ft per day. Now, with the atmosphere being altered by humans, the sunlight and water is able to erode the face of the glacier faster than the ice fields push them down.

Come on man... Your own ignorance is hyperbole. This shit happens everyday, and happened long before modern humans evolved.

Why? Glacier calving is a natural process which occurs even if humans were never here. No reason not to enjoy the spectacle if you can.

But it is sharply increased in recent years due to global warming isn't it? One of the main reason behind increasing sea water level.

Sandanuwan Dhanushka Yes, climate change increases the rate of calving...but calving itself would still be happening even without climate change.

An old Ice Age and how it shaped the world... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs1gjZZ9xtbUdYE.html

THIS HAPPENS NATURALLY. DONT BE AFRAID.:)

Melissa Normann Yes, you are the enlightened one here.

Josefine DE LOERA yes very natural like when we die. It's scary to think about when we are going to die, but when it happens it will terrify you.. but naturally you will be gone but hey when you wake up you won't feel a thing. Climate change is if fact natural, but its sad because we are causing this planet to warm faster than it would naturally. However, we still don't know how much suffering we will have to endure before we die naturally from somthing that naturally happens.

Melissa Normann It's been happening since the ancient ages, what's so special? Blah blah global warming carbon footprint? Pf.

Exactly..It's like they're watching the earth dying and they're happy.. What's wrong in this world right now..lack of education..really..

Thanks Kelli! your comment really gave me a chuckle. Cheers!

I was really lucky to see massive icebergs crashing i to eachother in at Jökullsárlón in Iceland. Luckily it was 1 in the morning with no tourists. Incredible power and beauty!

Yup Because GOD FORBID SOMEONE MAKE ANY SORT OF COMMENT 🤦 You people need to chill out a bit

@@yonatanschlussel Take your own advise.

Haha l was thinking similar. I'd want to get a bit of ice out of the water and take it home in a jar. I know it would melt but it would still be special 😄

@Z4ck//OW watch how our planet changed kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs1gjZZ9xtbUdYE.html

😥 the ocean going High 🧜‍♂️

It's all part of a natural cycle.

+wtglb If we pump enough co2 into the atmosphere it could certainly prevent the next ice age from happening.

I don't believe that anything Man can do will affect the climate cycle that Earth has been going through for eons.

+wtglb Then you need to think about what effect 25 billion tons of co2 being added to the atmosphere every year would have...and that amount being added is increasing as more of human civilization industrializes.

+stiimuli it's a less than a minuscule amount compared to the Siberian Traps flood basalt, it erupted continually for 1,000,000 years, and though a large layer of coal too. We could add up 10,000 industrial lifetimes worth of emissions and not be even remotely close. Go look it up, it's mind-boggling.

wtglb That was a unique catastrophic event long ago and wasn't part of any "cycle". Today human industrial activity is the catastrophic event.

Very sad that something natural makes you sad. Get a life.

I'm guessing we'll be extinct in four years ago too, right?

@@annonymous6827 Humans, extinct? No, of course not. Elephants, tigers, mountain leopards, orangutans, gorillas...

I have been hearing that for decades. All fear porn.

@@TheLittlered1961 Yeah but we have satellite images now. The projection from the future now has visual data.

@@Ogrematic Please, sat data is only 50 years old. Younger than me. What would that sat data be for 1959? What would that sat data be for 1935, 1922, 1911, 1871? All hot years. What would sat data be for the medieval or the Roman warm periods? Just because we can't see it, does not mean it didn't happen.

G'day, Gregory Schadewald! I was a bit surprised by the term "calving" myself, so I Googled it and, sure enough, in addition to the term for cow births, it does mean the breaking off of pieces of a glacier.

reneeandchrisforever haha

*Americans

It is where HollywooD was born. Ain't that neat?

Hey someone who is here for a reason that makes sense...

No they are just smarter then you. This is normal every day calving of a Glacier not some catastrophic global warming event! Get yourself an education stop being a follower!

You're ignorant....and too incompetent to know it. It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Idiot. This happens no matter what and global warming melts the ice not breaks the ice.

Maybe this will give you an idea of how glacial melting exposed the continents kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs1gjZZ9xtbUdYE.html

+NDI One Maps It doesn't matter if has been happening for all of record history. That doesn't make it a good thing.

+Dosh Nunez Why is it a bad thing? Its a spectacular natural sight to witness, especially in person.

stiimuli Even though I've never seen one in person. It probably is awesome. But since temperatures are rising they are melting faster and faster thus making it a bad thing.

Dosh Nunez but its not a bad thing in itself and there's no reason people can't enjoy the spectacle. Even if we stopped the rise in temps today calving would still occur.

Your'e not getting my point. Yes it's not a bad thing. And glaciers will still calve whether there's global warming or not. But if they start melting even faster that's when it starts to become more of a bad thing and less of a spectacular sight. We can't stop the rise of temperature at this point because we are still dealing with CO2 emissions from the 50's 60's 70's... We can only try to make a more clean future (which we are doing awfully at).

mainly because of zooming.

I'll notify the UN.

Yeah, you should start doing real logic.

***** yeah ...tsunamis only can be born in wide ocean flats out of earthquakes or volcanos..maybe a very big landslide too, but last never recorded in modern times.

Oh glacier calving is a recent phenomenon?

Because its a spectacular sight to witness. Its why they paid money as tourists to go out on a boat and see the glacier.

Michael Weyandt yes. you can always defrost

+Tip Sheikh but who has a microwave that big?

Why? Are you worried the ice is in pain? Calving is what glaciers do where they meet the ocean. Its natural. WHy not enjoy the awesome sight?

stiimuli Why cheer for something that happens naturally? I bet these people clap whenever they take a shit.

HDaviator Because its a spectacular sight.

stiimuli It's also the most immediate display of decaying ancient systems, which is sad, terrifying and with immense gravitas. Still, if you watched your grandfather commit seppuku, restoring the honor of your family, would you cheer for the restoration of honor, even though he's killing himself?

GarioTheRock Glaciers would still calve regardless of climate change or the presence of humans. Its what they inevitably do at the water line. The only conditions that would halt this process are the complete lack of snow/ice or a "snowball earth" scenario with no available waterline for a glacier to reach.
