Serac fall seen from Whymper Saddle, Mt Cook National Park. It seems the glaciers are becoming more chaotic around rocky rollovers once supporting toes recede. 9th of November 2015
You can imagine being right at the bottom of the valley. "At least there's no chance it will make its way all the way down here" "Huh, it's getting closer but must be about to run out of steam" "Oh fck!"
That was insane, few get to experience this first hand as yourself, glad you (both) were safe. Love the laugh out loud, serious reality response I feel.
The amount of secondary, tertiary material it brought down from the lower slopes and way it just flowed all the way down the valley is pretty frightening. Really shows the real dangers of traveling even miles away below these areas.
didn't go donw there and cancelled our plans because the freezing level was way higher than foretasted, I mostly just said that to wind up future watchers of the video ;P

If I can ask the photographer the film this one question it would be. Did you ever consider that the bottom of the Shelf you're standing on or mountain side of snow could give away underneath cascading down eventually making its way up to your level?
we were having lunch at a local high point on solid rock with nothing above us so protected by gravity. But you are right in that nature is inherently dangerous and unpredictable, but that is why it is beautiful. Nature is danger.

we were originally planning to go down into that valley but the temp was waay too warm, warmer than forecasted so avalanche/ rock fall risk was too high. So just decided to have lunch there and we noticed the rockfall increasing in intensity, so decided to get the camera out.

What the video doesn't show is the 5 oz European Swallow that was carrying a 1 lb coconut from North Africa across the Alps to the Kingdom of Mercia becoming too tired to carry it any further and dropping it at the top of the snow field causing that whole event to take place. If it had been an African Swallow this whole thing might not have happened.
@@ryantaylor761 I was just hunting through the comments before posting to check if anyone had noticed. Just weeks ago they did! I was going to ask if the coincidence meant they were both triggered by a small earthquake?
Hello Ryan Taylor, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
@@ryantaylor761 Lol, nice comeback play, man. IMO, you called it correctly. Apologizing for the disrespectfulness from some of my U.S.countrymen in the comments. Greetings from a retired fellow climber. Awesome mtn. footage! Thanx for sharing, and stay safe out there.
New Zealand has steady state erosion where the rate of erosion matches the rate of uplift hence why the range remains narrow and doesn't spread out under its own weight.
Us know, after watching these new moraines made, I wonder how tall everest and k-2 were🤨? Just another reason kiwi is the extreme sports capitol of the world!
haha, the NZ Southern Alps are in a state of steady state erosion where the uplift is same as the erosion rate, hence why it is such a narrow range. Major mtn ranges of the world get wider because erosion rate is too slow and the overlying weight of the mtns are too heavy to be further uplifted causing another adjacent range to pop up etc.
@@ryantaylor761 thank you for your reply . I find that the knowledge of our geology is so much greater these days than it was light years ago when I went to school . I am very much enjoying the enlightenment available to us from that socially destructive internet .
...and the stupid guy just laughs!🤦 Well bro, you're filming FROM the mountains, and she's hearing your laugh while she's telling no joke...Watch out when you're climbing down😂
wow! Its always hard to imagine how valleys are formed by glaciers, but seeing the force and how that flows...wow
except everything seen here has nothing to do with how glaciers carve valleys
@@adammacer Ice is involved, wow it's easy being pedantic.
Many thanks. Thanks for keeping the camera so still. A lot in one take. This shows how it flows like water. (3/25/21)
Unreal mate! Well captured.
And this, brothers and sisters, is how mountains become molehills.
Great video.
Fantastic footage. You see the results of these at the bottom of these gullies so you know they happen but rarely get to see them. Great job.

Wow that's impressive. Great work catching it on video.

@@ryantaylor761 is that not the same thing? I'll leave.

You are going to see this sort of thing a lot in mountain glaciated places such as NZ, it is not uncommon.
Just awesome, a river of rock and snow.
0:57 That laugh though.
👌🏻 WOW!!! That was incredible. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow. It's almost beautiful to watch.
Incredible. Thanks for sharing

Woah. terrifyingly beautiful.
Beautifully shot
It's a really peaceful thing to watch, good catch👍
Less peaceful to watch from below.
OMG! That was amazing!!
Mother Nature showing who the real boss is 🤟🏻
0:12 Casual other rock slide in the background. Yeah, you are not getting me into that mountain range.
certainly don't want to get caught with your pants down in NZ's Southern Alps!
"The snow line is now lowering so I guess we can ski further down" And how did that work out for you?
didn't go donw there and cancelled our plans because the freezing level was way higher than foretasted, I mostly just said that to wind up future watchers of the video ;P
Wow....surreal!!!! Amazing!!!!
Whats a serac? 🤔
Famed surfer Alby McElroy rode that slide down on a 8" Reef Board , you can see him at 1:51
How can you get down after that? It doesn't seem there is any safe way.
Well that escalated quickly....
Great video !!
F me! That's Earth doing a vulgar display of power. That was Metal AF
wow!
SH*T! IS RIGHT MY MAN, that was THEE most dramatic serac collapse I've ever seen! Cheese•N• Rice!!! I'm literally speechless rn.
yeah glad you enjoyed it, the mountains are collapsing in NZ
Do you have a date for this?

Glad you were above all that, you wouldn't want to go out with a bang on the Whymper!
Beautiful video!
I thought it was hilarious that the camera moved away from the action at the best part though. hahaha
no doubt...some real shit footage
Right? Let's show the rock scar a few more times as the head of the slide devastates its way downslope out of view.
산사태가 아닌 영상이 너무 좋습니다. 좋아요~
Great shot....welcome to the north...

wow.
Superb!
OMG! Unreal! Did you know it's going to fall down? Or you were just lucky to capture it?

May the Fizz be with you!
So cool
Wow. An interesting video.
Serac nothing, that was a rockfall that happened to take the toe of the glacier with it.
I am so glad that I gave up ice climbing!
This is very dangerous and scary, but they are just laughing behind the camera.
Your perspective (emotionally) is different the further off you are .
great vid
Great video, Thanks!
WOW!
Crazy

Suprises me no one mentioned the other collapse on opposite side .smaller but impressive to get two on same video
haha, I wondered if anyone would notice.
Darn you, guys, what is the time code??

That was close

Cool footage bruh
Haha typical kiwi..."yeah nah I don't think I wanna go down there anymore"😅
holy shit

no
Looks to me like a landslide that took snow and ice with it, rather than a serac collapse.
pretty sure it was coronavirus
Scaring😵
Scary thing is with uncontrolled rock slides…, you never know when a new one gets triggered.
Usually they happen when the freezing level rises quickly, FL rose 2000m in a few hours on this day. But yes, nature is danger!
Ahhhh that's going to be a solid nope here. I'm a former combat Marine and retired police officer. I'll take a shootout any day over this!!!!!
Take a shootout over what is natural. Ok there officer.
Nice job filming !
Where's the lady in the background scream "oh my godddd" and doing nothing for the situation
I watched a kid eat a hot pepper. 20 million views.
Snow/Rock avalanche Brr
Look at my name

Thats not serac that the whole part of the mountain. These guys just came from there? Pure death
I would have picked another hobby that day or tweaked nuances in skying.
