  • 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: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cal....
    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: www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.ph....
    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.

    It's incredible to watch but more amazing when you realise that as each piece falls off or iceberg flips, snow and ice that hasn't seen daylight in thousands, hundreds of thousands or more years is revealed.

      @John Ratray So neither can you! I'm not an idiot, ty. It's the same for any other electronic device, so for your computer or mobile phone too.
      In my opinion the often touted renewables won't save our planet. Like electronic devices, wind turbines (especially the blades) require rare earths. The "traffic turnaround" (electromobility) is based on our neocolonial thinking: We exploit raw materials in Chile, Bolivia or China just so that we can travel "green" (respectively "emission-free") in Europe, North America, or elsewhere. This clears our conscience, while we destroy the environment in other parts of the world and deprive people there of their livelihood.
      By any renunciation of air travel I try to contribute a small part. Of course, me alone won't make a difference, but the more people who join in, the better it is for the environment. You still always have to start with yourself.
      What I wanted to point out is the fact, that it's kind of amazing to see the massive blocks of ice falling off the glacier and causing those huge waves. It makes you realize the power of nature and how small humans are in comparison. But the cause for this effect is very sad... It's another sign of nature to show us how badly it is doing at the moment.

      Oceans are vast, covering 363 million square kilometres, equivalent to approximately 72% of the Earth's surface. More than 600 million people, equal to around 10% of the world's population, live in coastal areas that are 10 meters above the sea level, and nearly 2.4 billion people, about 40% of the world's population, the live within 100 km of the coast. In the Indian context, three out of four metro cities are located on the coast. About 14.2% of the population in India lives in coastal districts. Around 95% of India's trade by volume and 68% by value is conducted through these waters, with priority being accorded to port-led development plans in recent years.

    I believe that the first image was not of a glacier calving off but rather an iceberg overturning. When so much of the ice in the water melts, the iceberg gets top-heavy and flips over in the water. I have never seen one of these happen. You notice the blue/green ince on the bottom. That was the ice that was on the bottom being turned over. Fantastic Video!

      @Andrew Potter
      That's right. When the glacier grows out to the sea, there is nothing what supports that part and due to waves, buoyancy, and mass eventually that part brakes off.
      So calving happens because the glacier is moving downward due to ice and weight building up at the root and not from melting at the tail.
