Compilation of our most spectacular glacier calving and iceberg collapse videos! Huge chunks of ice (sometimes measuring more than 100 meters / 300 ft. in height over the water surface and hundreds of meters below) breaking off the glaciers and falling into the oceans can create tsunami-like waves, cause big icebergs to flip over or “shoot up”. Glaciers and icebergs are melting in Greenland, Alaska, Argentina, Antarctica and all around the world – creating incredible spectacles for those lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. More than 15 of these breathtaking glacier calving events are included in this montage. Of course all clips included are left with their original audio tracks; without music being added, you can listen to the cracking and melting of these ice giants.
Glacier calving, also known as ice calving, or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. The waves formed in locations like Johns Hopkins Glacier can be so large that boats cannot approach closer than 3 kilometres. These events have become major tourist attractions. Many glaciers terminate at oceans or freshwater lakes which results naturally with the calving of large numbers of icebergs. Calving of Greenland’s glaciers produce 12,000 to 15,000 icebergs each year alone (Find out more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_calving).
Greenland is home to the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica. The sheet covers 3/4 of Greenland’s land mass. But in the last 25 years, the Greenland Ice Sheet is rapidly melting, having lost 3.8 trillion tons of ice between 1992 and 2018, a new study from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) finds. The melting ice has added 11 mm / 0.4 inches to sea level rise. Its cumulative 3.8 trillion tons of melted ice is equivalent to adding the water from 120 million Olympic-size swimming pools to the ocean every year (Find out more here: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7556).
The ice field of the Glacier Perito Moreno is the world’s third largest reserve of fresh water. In the right time of the year big blocks of ice break off the glacier and drop into the water. The waves created by such glacier calving events often splash dozens of meters through the air. The glacier is one of Argentina’s most beautiful natural wonders, the colors and shapes of the ice remind of a piece of art of Gaudi. The glacier itself is about 5 km (3.1 mi) wide and has an average height of 74 m (240 ft) above the surface of the water.

Не понимаю ликования и аплодисменты-таяние ледников-это просто климатическая катастрофа.
Looks odd. But beautiful.
Я в ожидании того,что вылетит нло😂😂😂
You cut way too much film from excellent other films. Thats why I gave u a downvote.
Z
Why does someone always scream as if it's falling on them?!
Die eingeblendete Schrift blockiert die ganze Sicht 🤐
Cada 4 años sucede.💞💞💞
Mi País,República ArgentinaGlaciar Perito Moreno.😘😘😘
FINALLY!!! a video where people dont fucking explain what im watching.
Encore plus gros les sous titres svp
whats the green color?
Can’t believe a saber tooth squirrel can cause this
when your city block decides to get up and move without you and takes a few other blocks with it. that 10 story building popping up in back was having none of it.
70m is a 20 story building falling off the edge of the glacier into the water.
these people clapping know this isn’t a good thing right…
Icebergs 🧊 always remind me of whales 🐳🐋 for some reason.
😂😂😂😂
la rialida hes que hen mismo umano hesta jodiendo hel munso eso hes causa de tanta prueva de misiles toda esa pera compañia de petrolio sigan jodiendo conel mundo que cuando vean a Dios venil hy sedaran cuenta que la cagaron pero sera demaciado tarde la mallol parte delos paise se hundiran bajo agua eso no hun juego ni hun regalo dela naturalesa no señor la verda hel nivel del mal seguira suviendo cada dia mas y mas
O nom de la nature tous dans la même planète ou que nous soyons dans ce monde nous devons tous replanter un arbre chacun pour la reconnaissance vers notre mère nature parce que sans elle la vie n,existe pas et ceci est un nouvelle ordre mondial ❤
I saw a ship fully swallowed by the wave, no rescue?
Allahuakbar
Wow 😮
Que assustador 😮
Ита чея гор или сол
又是，核分裂現象，所造成的，
КРОСОТА 👍👍👍👍👍😉
Who built that house right on the rocky shore?, you have to be mad.
Wie dumm seid ihr denn????????
Those people need to be quiet. Morons.
The huge text covers a lot if not most the waves and then as the waves are heading for the shore, those not hidden by the intrusive text is quickly cut away to a new scene??
There is no reason to laugh at these natural phenomena! We are dramatically witnessing the gradual destruction of our planet due to climate change! We should be ashamed and reconsider our behavior!
Looks like ice cream
Why are they cheering.
11:25 , They didn't seem to concerned about the little boat !
Oh Wow That's amazing No1 on to the rest ))
Çeka nas zlo. Boziji gnev ili ljudska ludost.
When you unlock a secret land in a game:
Assustador Esses Derretimentos 😥
Ficaria melhor sem essas letras na frente
Good news
😨
The water being carried away: I ruined climate change
Allah ho akber
Ya Allah ya Allah ya Allah ya Rab ya rab ya rab ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊 Dua for me insha allah everything will be ok insha allah 😍❤️❤️❤️
Clapping for nature is just sad
