I really like that you don't hear people squealing and saying "Oh my god" over and over. The sound of the wind is a perfect counterpoint to the power of the ice moving up and down.
I was just about to frantically yell "oh my God" as soon as I heard that baby glaciers are referred to as "calves"! Being that glaciers spend the first part of their lives on land, and the latter part in the water, I'd categorize them as "amphibians". Therefore, I assumed that newborn baby glaciers were either called "tadpoles" or maybe "froglets"..... (not my best attempt at humor ever).
Thank you for posting without music or talking. Just hearing the sound of the crashing glaciers is so awesome. See glaciers rising out of the water like huge whales is something I just can't describe. The beautiful blue coloring of the glaciers, is something unforgettable.
About six months ago I think there was a huge glacier calving in Antarctica the glacier retreated more in 30 minutes than it did in the past hundred years
I love this, I've also watched dozens of these and this was the best. I really liked how everyone just watched in awe, no hooting, or cheering like they're watching fireworks. Beautiful!

First limiting view, jiggling too, I was skeptical. But in less than a minute view changed and it is spectacular! One of the more unusual videos of this kind I have watched. Most you see big chunks falling in water but to see extremely huge pieces the size of ships coming up from under the water very different. Excellent.
Qué gustazo verlo sin gritos histéricos ni comentarios de apreciación. Solo ruido de viento y el hielo chocando, rozando y cayendo en el agua. Gracias por la publicación!
That water at the foot of the glacier must be REALLY deep, for those enormous icebergs to roll around like that. That's crazy stuff! I could stand there and watch that for days....
Huh Huh Why, is it super cold? Well, the first thing I always do in these glacier calving situations, is to start a technical climb of the most unstable areas that are about to collapse. Once they start collapsing, I quickly swap my crampons for snowboard boots, grab my snowboard off my pack, and snowboard down the collapsing chunks. Then I quickly strap on my ice hockey skates, and skate around the sides of the iceberg as it rolls in the ocean. Why? It's challenging!
jumper F22 Not if I was wearing my dry suit. But wearing a dry suit would remove the element of danger, and make it less challenging. So I'd probably just do it completely naked....
The height of ice wall above the water is something on the order of 52 meters (170 feet). I estimated this using the fall time of a dark chunk at 1:29 that seems to free-fall for a moment.
¡Gracias Argentina!, por tanta belleza, coexistiendo, al mismo tiempo con magníficas selvas y las cataratas de Iguazú en Misiones, y tantas otras zonas únicas.
I had the opportunity to watch many icebergs calve from my kayak when I paddled the Inside passage from Bellingham, WA to Skagway, AK (twice). Pretty exciting when your in a small boat on the water even at a safe distance as you can get surrounded by bergy bits which can be quite hazardous. Sad to think that there may not be any permanent ice left on the planet by 2100.
WOW!!! Before one of us dies, I really want to take my Mother there to see that spectacularly awesome spectacle....There's nothing like the power, beauty and violence of Mother Nature. Agree, Anyone? Thanks for the crazy cool post!!!
Looked like there was meltwater behind the ice helping to 'push' the ice 'wall' into the bay. As the ice collapsed into the 'bay', it raised the bay water level and as this water flowed away it helped to carry the icebergs away from the ice wall. Pretty frosty eh.
A bit of advice, Hugo, in the future try to either get closer or zoom in. Get a good position and stay in it while holding your camera steady. See that guy standing in front of you with his hand on his hip? I want to see HIS video. I bet it was great! Best wishes.
Those things are fucking COLOSSAL. Just the fought of a fucking building sized thing rising out of the water and coming back down careening towards the surface of the water gives me goosebumps.
About the most spectacular ice wall calving I've seen. Those mountains of ice popping to the surface, and bobbing about to settle for the most balanced position, is like whales moving on slow motion or buildings collapsing.
There's always a massive low in the Gulf of Alaska pumping Pacific moisture onto those very tall mountains so close to the coast . . . that's where the snow/melt is before avalanches create glaciers.

I couldn’t agree more with you about the insane idiotic over and over and over OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! I get so sick of hearing that horse 🐴 shit!!!
Obviously no americans were around

The blue coloring is phenomenal. This is one of the better calving vids I have seen. No screaming idiots, just raw nature in all its Glory.

watched tons of videos like this, this has to be the most movement in large glaziers I have seen to date, major WOW
calmeblondy same! This was spectacular!!
It’s my favorite of all!
Check out Perito Moreno Glacier. Also in Argentina and I think considered one of the most active Glaciers.
Cheers

Those shades of blue are AMAZING
Yeah those huge deep blue blocks of ice just look almost magical.
I believe it’s more stunning when watch it live.

Yeah...was just gonna say that. Its beautiful
I smell a Simp
This never gets old. I've watched it numerous times over the last couple years. The power of the calving & shooting is so well shown in this video.
That is stunningly beautiful. The blue ice is amazing and so much just keeps coming up, its like watching a huge sea monster raising from the deep.
Just imagine that this was probably the first time this ice had seen any sunlight in thousands of years
That is amazing
more like billions of years.
@@clouut more like thousands
...and the sunlight kills it!
Think how pure it would be as drinking water. Makes me thirsty.

i'll bet you couldn't last more than a few hours.

Dry lips can be a problem, but since I pack light, I use whatever nature provides. Typically I'll use pine tar as lip balm..... Lol
this brings tears to my eyes; the scale of the event and raw emotion it evokes; I am happy to be alive.
The colour of that blue ice is amazing!
Ice, sir? Said the glacier to the ocean.
WOW, seriously one of the best CZcams vids. MUCH thanks.
Camera guy keeping a very safe distance 😂
Yes, I think this segment was filmed from somewhere in Florida 'cause he is really far away.
@@mecha175 🤣🤣🤣
yes, so dumb, he should have gotten into the water with a boat so we could see better through a cell phone sitting in a chair
@@juanpablogonzalez198 You sound like your name...
@@unaninanine3743 ok nina neine!
You kept such a steady hand while filming - thank you for sharing - what a fantastic experience
No he did not....well, not at the beginning!!
The noise is!!!!! Get a windsock
I can’t believe those pieces of ice are like 100x100x500m it’s mind blowing. That last breach was insane
Wow that ice looks beautiful
What if that ice was tanzanite!
yeeeeah it iz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ice ice baby
First signs of life ending ......
roydamanna that ice hadn't seen daylight for thousands upon thousands of years. We're killing this world. 😔
That was so bad ass. I hope someday I can witness such an awesome sight live and in person. Thanks for sharing such a cool video.
My mouth is still hanging open. The thrill of nature. Thank you so much for sharing. Breathtaking!!!

This would be absolutely unbelievable to witness!! That blue is so beautiful!
I will never get over that beautiful blue colour in the ice!!!!!
tiredmummy me neither. Absolutely gorgeous!
Well i did, because i live there jajaja
@@kingofthenorth1295 its in el calafate, argentina. Actually its not just a city, its a big zone, more especific "Parque nacional los glaciares"
@@kingofthenorth1295 there are more beautifull glaciers and nearer
The colours trapped inside the glacier make this so incredible.
Even though the camera was a bit far away, this was one of the best glacier videos I’ve seen!
Absolutely ... and those who were standing as witnesses to the event were awed into silence.
For goodness sake! Hold Still!
The sound must have been huge. This is my best calving video ever. Thank you.
Simulate THAT in Las Vegas.
No

EXTRAORDINARY!! Best related content video I've seen so far. I swear, I could watch ice calving for HOURS!

Agree, Anyone?
Thanks for the crazy cool post!!!
Spectacular spectacles are spectacular.
You have to do it, its not very expencive, and there are others glaciers an flora & fauna
@@TIMEtoRIDE900 I could not have said that better myself, thank you
@@franraffo5435 it sounds wonderful, thank you
Without being there, it's hard to imagine the size of the glacier and how deep it goes below the water level.
the best real footage! Thanks for sharing :)
Probably the best glacial calving video anywhere - just keeps on going and going...
Mother nature: just a little reminder what I'm capable of
Amazing. That deep blue color is so beautiful.
terrific video. thanks for posting.
This is really massive. I wished the cameraman would have been more detailed with the Glacier instead of the rocks!
One of the best ones I've seen. Amazing color.
Absolutely amazing.It must have been awesome to be there. Thanks for sharing this.
look at that brilliant blue
2:10 looks like a big ice monster rising from the water
Kudos to the camera man, well done.
Wow, I'm just glad people didn't start clapping.
Stunning!! That blue color is gorgeous.
love the footage. Thanks for sharing!

Seeing the bottom side of that piece of glacier float away after it flipped over is pretty cool, you can see the contours of the ground in it.
It's blue because it's so highly compressed. That ice is thousands of years old.
The forces of nature are amazing!
Duncan Wallace
God controls everything NOT nature.
Bob sapp Which god?
No such thing.
If God did this then I'm left to assume God is an 8 year old child that likes breaking things for shits and giggles.
Bob sapp Well one could say God IS nature as he is a part of all creation.
Mother Nature wins the award for a most spectacular display of ice breaking! WOW!
These events happen in a minute... And you were right there! Wow!, nice catch!
So blue, my god it's beautiful!!
best glacier video I've seen!
That wind looked pretty strong.
That was great......and no sodding music, that is refreshing !
The force of nature is amazing, and also beautiful! That color blue sure is something
I like watching calving videos. This is THE most amazing.
Now that was breathtaking!!!

The blue’s in the ice was absolutely stunning. That was some crazy stuff. I just kept saying WOW😱😱
Very impressive. Thank you for sharing
Building size ice calving on each other = EPIC
That is such a beautiful shade of blue.
Currently learning about glaciers in geology, truly amazing stuff if you ask me.
beautiful blue colors
BEST ONE YET!
Breathtaking
that's some sci-fi lookin' stuff right there
Absolutely incredible!
*Poseidon:* Do you like your ocean up or on the rocks?
WOW!! I don't think I have ever seen ice look that blue Georgeous!
That was just STUNNING.
Beautiful blue colors.
So amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Pale, almost glowing, crystallized blue fragmenting into the icy ocean below, humanity is dwarfed by this majesty of the arctic!❤
This video is the best of iceberg on youtube.
That ice is so blue, it's almost black!
I had no idea how deep these glaciers are till about @2:35 where a huge chunk of ice began to float up on the right.
Imagine the amazing action that must have been taking place under the water!!!
Take that flat earthers, your wall is crumbling and the oceans are still here.
Love that!
Wow! Amazing! How is it that so many people were there to witness this?
Never seen a more stunning shape of Blue. EVER.
The most beautiful deeper blue i've seen. I love that.
best video of its kind
The best part 2:35 suddenly a whale like glacier appears out of nowhere and rises high to the sky. Just amazing! "Naturally dangerous beauty."
@Stresx. I thought you were referring whale to this. 2:00
Incredible stuff! The ice goes those shades of blue due to the sheer old age of it.
Those things are fucking COLOSSAL. Just the fought of a fucking building sized thing rising out of the water and coming back down careening towards the surface of the water gives me goosebumps.
Looks surreal
Impresionante. Me hubiese encantado verlo en vivo.
wow the camera man take that the video is awesome
That's frickin AMAZING
awesome
OMG this blue...
About the most spectacular ice wall calving I've seen. Those mountains of ice popping to the surface, and bobbing about to settle for the most balanced position, is like whales moving on slow motion or buildings collapsing.
The melting and broken shelves pieces of glacier is heart breaking.
it'll grow back
There's always a massive low in the Gulf of Alaska pumping Pacific moisture onto those very tall mountains so close to the coast . . . that's where the snow/melt is before avalanches create glaciers.
All that lovely clean blue ice!🤩🤩🤩
