- This rare footage has gone on record as the largest glacier calving event ever captured on film, by the 2016 Guiness Book of World Records.
On May 28, 2008, Adam LeWinter and Director Jeff Orlowski filmed a historic breakup at the Ilulissat Glacier in Western Greenland. The calving event lasted for 75 minutes and the glacier retreated a full mile across a calving face three miles wide. The height of the ice is about 3,000 feet, 300-400 feet above water and the rest below water.
Footage produced by James Balog (jamesbalog.com) and the Extreme Ice Survey (extremeicesurvey.org)
Chasing Ice won the award for Excellence in Cinematography at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and a 2013 Emmy Award for Outstanding Nature Programming. It has won over 40 awards at festivals worldwide, and was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, "Before My Time" by J. Ralph featuring Scarlett Johansson and Joshua Bell.

You gotta love scratt...lol. ☘️🇺🇸😂🐿️🐿️🐿️
question is, can he find the acorn in this mess?
Damn right!!
I appreciate the photographers shutting up quickly so they didn’t ruin the audio after they realized what was happening
I'm sure they were just as stricken into awe and silence as the rest of us.
Truly an astounding event.
They ran for their lives, bro. That's what I would've done. We'll leave the cameras, they're insured!
Such an astounding event, what else can you do but watch in awe, adjust the camera and observe :) Great guys!

The sound generated by these large calving events is absolutely astonishing.
Many attribute "the bloop" to the sounds of calving glaciers
Ke noga
@@norml.hugh-mann would be recorded evidence by now
It’s a pretty surreal sound…I live in the country and it reminds me of when a Tornado touched down 1,000 yards into our woods….it sounded like an otherworldly heard of animals running through the woods and at some point a speeding train….I thought I was gonna die that day but the tornado lifted back off the ground and passed right over the house 😮💨
Pretty sure the sound would have been sound design done in post-production, and what we are hearing is not the actual sound of it.
You can tell they're professionals because you don't just hear "WOOOOOAH< OH SHIT LOOK AT THAT" and screaming the whole time
Or the inevitable OMG's.
I wouldn't be surprised if the audio was dubbed. They are on the side of a mountain with no wind noise recording something miles away. I'm just speculating though.
Actually there was a bit of that
@@andrewmurphy5310 What do you mean lol there is wind and other sounds in the audio
I reckon they dubbbed out all the "OHHHHHH SHIIIITTTS"
Watched this a couple of times and still can´t comprrehend the scale of it.
The blocks of ice are taller and larger than skyscrapers in New York city, imagine standing near one, and the whole area that collapsed is bigger then New York city, maybe that helps.
Our brains just aren't calibrated for these scales.
When I went to Black Lake, Canada a few years back to see the old open air mine, I couldn't even figure out how large it was until I saw the tiny GIANT TRUCKS moving on the bottom, and then my brain calculated that the trucks were, in fact, very small. It's just not something we evolved to understand. It takes a bit of abstract thinking.
It was like the 2012 earthquake re-enacted with a huge glacier
@@Argumemnon Same experience in BC. I was at a winery near Kelowna, and I was taking a small video of a bird that had been soaring for a good minute, but it looked a little odd. It wasn't until I finally took a really good look and realized it was a plane, but so far away it was barely visible as a dot along the mountainside leading around the mountains. I live in a very flat area; I still feel like the mountains were some fake landscape, in terms of how vast the mountains are there.
kinda crappy job with the filming.
I really appreciate that there are people put there filming these kinds of things. I would have gone my whole life without seeing something so spectacular and magnificent. Thank you
Totally agree. This is one of the most insane things I’ve seen. The internet fucking rules. The sound also struck me; it sounds like thunder.
i mean that's the whole point of filming things
@@NTMA11 OH really? Because if you hadn't have said anything I would have never known that. Dumbass.
@@evanwilcox82 the fact that they were dedicating as much time and resources as they were does imply that they know people will appreciate seeing it, so you didn't contribute anything new yourself, dumbass.

As a farmer I can really appreciate a good calving. And that is a beautiful calf. Congratulations.

That might be the most incredible footage ever recorded. Absoloutly insane! Well done guys!
For real! Truly one for the history... videos?
When the Glacier mountain turned upside down, the ice was Dark Blue almost black, it felt like and an alien ship coming up!!!!

I don't think my brain is letting me see it in its true scale. Even after the overlay of Manhattan was shown, it still looks smaller than that...
Quillbro Durdus I said I can't comprehend the scale. How am I being a smart ass?
Davy Ker this is because it's a foreign environment you're not used to seeing and it's lacking anything your eyes can recognize to help scale it in your mind.

Indeed!
I can't tell if you are denying climate change. I also can't tell if you're just trolling if you are denying it.
If either of those assumptions I can make are correct though, I'd like to say I will piss in your mouth good sir, as the ignorant only deserve to be pissed on by everyone who isn't stupid.
Enjoy the urine.

The ice-shield of Greenland is a relict of the last ice-age. There is no
climatic reason for the existence of that massive ice-shield.
Imagine being a prehistoric human and witnessing this.
id probably think there were gods and shit too if i saw something like this
"Cavemen see big cold thing break. Cavemen say it bigger than tree."
Like the Ice Age?
you are prehistoric you fuckin Neanderthal
I would imagine they've seen stuff WAAY crazier than this. Theres theories that a giant fresh water sea on top of the glaciers 12000 years ago suddenly broke out and rushed over land into the ocean, making sea levels rise(think entire worlds ocean) 10 or more feet in a couple of days. Thats a hell of an event to witness.
One of the most phenomenal events I have ever viewed. The amount of energy released is certainly incredible.

AMEN!
Hey Felix my thoughts exactly was that not incredible or what
@Under the Surface - It was inconsiderate of me to forget that people like you exist who need everything spelled out for them. I'm glad they didn't overlap the whole clip with music. Sarcastic douchebag
@@o0o-jd-o0o95 - Absolutely!
When I saw that ,my first thought was ,wow I'm glad I'm not anywhere near that lol the Raw power of the oceans is almost unthinkable
I love videos like this that show how it happened with no weird music or narrators who arent needed.
That has to be the most spectacular thing i have ever seen, and heard. The noises were truly phenomenal, like how i imagine a planet forming sounds like.
Planet Forming ? I imagine it sounding the same,,, "BUT (Backwards)" lol
Even with Manhattan overlaid on top of the ice, I still can't put it into perspective.
4:13 I just watched TWO masses of ice; each the size of Central Park and at least as thick as the One World Trade Center is tall, break off in two enormous chunks, _flip upside-down,_ then drift out to sea along with several others of comparable size. *I'm feeling pretty small and insignificant right now...*
Yet it was you and your species that made the planet react this way.
This event is an awakening, not a catastrophe.
+wakaka2waka You have to look at the falling chunks and how fast they are falling to really get perspective. Go watch some avalanche videos and you can see.

If they put up the full 75 minutes of film i bet i'd watch the entire thing.
Alan Noble i know its 2 years old but the break happened during 75hours nit minutes
@@cookiesw9270 It definitely did not take 75 hours. Didn't you notice it never got dark?
@@cookiesw9270 at the 3:30 mark it says calving duration: 75 minutes
Same here. Nature at works is my favorite thing to watch.
NO, he said 75 YEARS!
It was hard to comprehend what was happening until I saw the time lapse at 3:59.
Then, the fact that huge slabs of ice (which had too much of their volume held underwater because of their attachment to the glacier) were finally breaking off and flipping over (some forwards, some backwards) due to the massive bouyant force was clear. And for them to to be out there for more than 2 weeks waiting must have been tough - but totally worth it!
Yeah. When glaciers separate, they are now free-floating on water and they tend to roll over, therefore, exposing the black underside of the glacier with the help of buoyancy. Then, they sink into the water and get carried out to sea.
I thought they calved because of their physical attachment to the main body of the glacier preventing them from displacing their own weight of water. Eventually the ice mass shears off. The point being that the glacier starts off on land and so must be above sea level.@@rithvikmuthyalapati9754

Exactly, I felt it in my soul. They cut the footage at 1:46 as whatever it is arises then at 1:55 they clearly show it in plain sight. There is definitely footage that hasn’t bn released which is understandable no telling what ppl would do in search of this mythical creature.

The sound of that calving is god tier levels of epic, only something we would hear in a movie.
Have watched this about 10 times now, and still amazed each time
Me2😊
the audio is terrifyingly menacing at times
Of course one has to realize that the sound coming from those ice bergs reach the microphones several seconds after it has been produced. In other words, the audio has been manipulated to match the video. That particular sound may not come from the event being shown.
1961casey good point
quote: "Of course one has to realize that the sound coming from those ice bergs reach the microphones several seconds after it has been produced. In other words, the audio has been manipulated to match the video. That particular sound may not come from the event being shown."
Sound doesn't arrive immediately after it was made:
Speed of sound is 343 m / s at **20 °C**, but the temperature is less than 20 °C so the speed of sound is less than 343 m/s.
1961casey...You know this was a long event and there was probably constant noise and rumbling going on. Maybe there was no audio manipulation going on.
funny - watching this just now, 6 years after this video was first posted to CZcams, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
The time lapse after overlaying Manhattan over the calved area is simply stunning
This is beyond incredible. My brain can’t comprehend it’s size, yet it intrigues and scares me at the same time.
I had to watch this twice. If you have a nice sound system, turn it up. It's incredible!
Daniel Amspaugh People sometimes complain about bass from electronic music not being from a real bass instrument, I complain about real bass instruments not being massive, mega-ton scale ice-cities calving.
GarioTheRock Well said.
Daniel Amspaugh word! my subwoofer almost made me hard with that deep rumbling :O
ScorpionCore LOL. It was ear candy for sure. Cheers.

To have witnessed this in real time had to be the most awesome thing to experience.
Definitely! Imagine actually being there - wonderful and terrifying all at once.

Glacier: Is that a personal attack or something?

It would be amazing to see a CG re-creation of what's happening with the ice but with the actual buildings in Manhattan. Show us the giant buildings breaking off and flipping over in HD!!!
That was absolutely incredible. I was in complete awe. I am also grateful that no music was played over the film. Just hearing things rupture and break apart was a new experience for me.

Oh fuck
Great statement, dude!
That sound. It must’ve been awesome to be there
Pretty sure they added in the sound after. Definitely would be awesome though
I've seen this video at least 50 times and every time I'm awestruck...
1:54 looks like a giant whale breaching and diving. You can even see what looks like an eye. Easy to understand why ancient people would have seen this as a god-like entity.
same thought
Yea except the whale was a half mile long.
ancients would NOT have known what a whale looks like..
cyberhawk80 I don't know what your considering ancient, but people have hunting whales for thousands and thousands of years.

It's sad. Global warming is a real thing.
Rob this has nothing to do with global warming
Glacier calving always occurs naturally, however the frequency of the occurrences throughout polar regions is absolutely caused and accelerated by global warming.
Rob maybe thats true, I dont know alot about this :)
@@rob442 Absolute nonsense, this glazier is flowing because it is growing at its source upstream.

It’s beautiful, scary and sad all at the same time.
But why sad?
@@hamag1973 Climate change is driving the retreat of glaciers, leading to calving events like this one. These glaciers take thousands of years to advance and are retreating those same distances over a few years.
Selective reporting. According to sat photos, the 2017 ice cap was the largest since measurements begun, yet they make sure to never mention it. Wouldn't want to confuse all the people they have spent so long brainwashing, I guess.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796
Exactly I fucking hate these climate change scientists.
Accelerated glacial melt is occurring the world over. It's sad because Manhattan will be underwater with rising sea levels in the lifetime of someone born today. And there is little we can do to stop it other than controlling the waste gases that add to a greenhouse effect, which contributes to the warming of the seas. Average ocean temperatures going up even a tiny bit causes ice to melt. Whether climate change is manmade or natural doesn't matter at this point. It will be sad to witness coastal communities having to evacuate because rising sea levels cause the area to be suddenly unlivable. These mass refugees will go inland, so folks in the heartland of each country will witness great influxes of people in the near future.
Absolutely amazing!! I really appreciate that you kept quiet while u filmed during such an incredible event. You let nature do the talking.
Been happening since the beginning of time, yet so few have seen it happen. Incredible.
Well, it will happen faster and faster with global warming
It must be so humbling to witness something of this magnitude, the sheer power of ocean and ice... wow
that is one of the most awesome things ive ever seen
Yes :-) all probs away
Also one of the saddest things. We're fucking the planet over and over.
jag10 Why are some of you with such thick skulls?! Its not spring itself but that rapid rise in temperatures. I mean seriously, how difficult is it to understand that?
***** The fact that more icebergs calved during the past 20 years than the past 10,000 years.
jag10 Your right, this is a natural occurrence. The exception is the glaciers are supposed to melt over tens to hundreds of thousands of years, not 30-50. Pretty much all glaciers are retreating around the globe, bar a few that are remaining the same, not increasing in size.
Happens 1000 times a day all summer long, has done this every summer for 100,000 years, and will continue to do so for 100,000 more. The ice retreats all summer and advances all winter. I'm surprised you don't know this.
It's the fact that it's retreated more in the past 10 years than the past 100. Did you even watch the video?
John Smith Yes! Although clearly aimed at the shrinking elementary school market, it was chock full of realistic sounding factoids. This should be a big hit with the tweens. There are some very entertaining global warming cartoons out there as well!
Paul Bennett Do you also disagree with the thousands of climatologists that say humans have had a substantial impact on climate? I hardly think you're qualified enough to make that statement.
Just because I'm sure you'll ask for the numbers... lol, who are we kidding. People like you don't care how much evidence is presented, as you're a pig-headed idiot who never learned to think or rationalize for himself. Well, I'll humor you anyways. Let's start with this:
"In the scientific literature, there is a strong consensus that global surface temperatures have increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused mainly by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view."
Yep, assuming you can indeed read, you'll recognize that not a single scientific body has disagreed with the fact that humans are causing such an abrupt change in our climate. In the entire world. You must be awfully special to deny a mountain of data like that! Maybe you know something we don't. How's about we look at some individual scientists views then, I mean, there has to be a load of them that express the same sentiment, right? Otherwise, how could your argument possibly stand ground? Well, let's see!
"A 2013 paper in Environmental Research Letters reviewed 11,944 abstracts of scientific papers matching "global warming" or "global climate change". They found 4,014 which discussed the cause of recent global warming, and of these 97.1% endorsed the consensus position.
James L. Powell, a former member of the National Science Board and current executive director of the National Physical Science Consortium, analyzed published research on global warming and climate change between 1991 and 2012 and found that of the 13,950 articles in peer-reviewed journals, only 24 rejected anthropogenic global warming. A follow-up analysis looking at 2,258 peer-reviewed climate articles with 9,136 authors published between November 2012 and December 2013 revealed that only one of the 9,136 authors rejected anthropogenic global warming."
Woah. Looks like there were only 25 of 16,208 peer-reviewed articles posted since 1991 that have shared the same opinion you have. And let me stress that what you have is nothing more than that, as the fact is that humans are playing a massive role in climate change. Even someone with a 5th grade knowledge of chemistry understands the concept of greenhouse gases, and the fact that our unhindered burning of fossil fuels have dumped extreme amounts of pollutants into the air. But hey, there's still the possibility that the other 99.846% of scientists that do this for a living are wrong... right?
I'm not sure why my opinion matters so much to you. You seem very intent on getting my buy-in on the crazy money making schemes of people you probably don't even know. Do you actually believe that human life is threatened by an infinitesimal increase in CO2?
"The sky is falling," cries Chicken Little, and instantly you urgently accost strangers, trying to pack into their little brains all this deep knowledge you have suddenly acquired from hours of factoid infested docudramas? If this is true, then your fervor will pass with the next Internet meme that comes along: KONY2012, Not One More, Bring Back Our Girls, Ebola Is Real, ISIS is Crossing Our Borders... ad infinitum.
But your fake name and fake profile indicate something else entirely. You have been posting on CZcams since way back in Nov 2, 2014 (over two weeks now!) and you expect me to treat you like a real person? I'm sure you are aware of the tens of thousands of fake Google profiles managed by activist organizations that make a profit by "directing the attention of the herd" towards this or that country, or this or that technology. Carbon credits and environmental stock exchanges spring to mind, and certainly you display all the signs of what is called a "shill" for such schemes.
Paul Bennett Not a shill, simply a college student that actually has an education. Judging by your liked videos, you are simply a conspiracy theorist, so my time is wasted as you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. My profile may be new, but that still doesn't change the fact that you simply dismiss all data provided to you; a sign that your little mind could never be persuaded in the first place. How about you stick with your shitty IT job, and leave the actual science to scientists?
"Do you actually believe that human life is threatened by an infinitesimal increase in CO2?" Yes, you fucking twit. Again, try taking any chemistry course beyond your elementary school education before spouting your unsubstantiated bullshit.
This has to be one of the most epic films ever recorded lol.. the scale is unimaginable.

Absolutely majestic piece of footage. Listen to the audio with some good headphones to really appreciate the low frequency sounds from the ice. Goosebumps man.
Like watching whole mountain ranges simply break apart and roll over. The scale is incomprehensible without the diagrams. I would imagine that the guys who filmed it were just as terrified as they were awestruck. Just unbelievable...

It’s normal stuff in nature, not global warming. No, the seas aren’t going to rise and no, the polar bears aren’t going to die. When’s the last time you’ve been to a wealthy coastal area?

I found this videoe both beautiful and also strangely reassuring that such naturally occurring events are beyond the control of mankind which (arguably) sometimes causes more problems while trying to solve them
Go back and listen to how long it took for that glacier to go 8 miles, then how long it took to go 9 miles, then say that what's happening is natural. The point is well made, but the impact we've caused is indisputable at this point.
We need to be pushing the human impact version on to our Chinese and Indian friends. The naturally occurring warming and cooling of the Earth is a beautiful thing.
Mankind caused this, though.
@@ghost321000 correlation doesn't equal causation, humanity is responsible for ~1% of the total co2 emission generated annually on the planet, the remaining 99% is natural
the only damage we're doing which is actually bad is the pollution of rivers and seas with plastic and extreme deforestation, other than that there's absolutely no proof that we're causing any climatic events as everything that is happening right has happened in the past and worse, we're simply too small and arrogant to believe that cow farts and some coal plants can possibly ever ruin the planet, co2 is at an all time low now, the planet needs more of, much more, 4-5 times as much would be the ideal.
Such a beautiful natural event caught on film for those of us who could only wish to see such majesty of God' handiwork. 1:18 mark... any Star Trek fans here? Those deep popping sounds remind me of the Enterprise docking with Vager. This had to be mind-boggling to witness in person. Nature is phenomenal and beautiful, just as God made it to be. These are humbling examples of His glory. Where we may be in End times, the idea of NYC being destroyed like that we may see. Pray for them. Pray for all.
God had no hand in this..humans did
It's quite magical and compulsive to watch. Nature is brilliant.
I can totally relate because it's hard to keep stuff organized in my cooler when the ice moves around.
Yeah, that's a good analogy. I think the calving event ^shown here, was somewhere in the size range of an Igloo 12 pack cooler full of ice, and the lower 1/4 of Manhattan. Somewhere in that tight range of scale....
@@patrickmcleod111 LoL! exactly what I meant.
One of the most breathtaking yet saddening things I've seen! Makes me think even harder about how I can do my part to preserve our world.
Unfortunately, at this point, doing your own part it's just not enough. Those who care need to do also the part of those who don't. Sad indeed.
Which is rather challenging to take on multiple people's environmental footprints. I would imagine a constant and stronger push to inform others of the situation is needed.
Glaciers have been receding and expanding all throughout Earth's history. It's unavoidable despite what humans do. If you want to believe humans are speeding up this process, than it's speeding up the inevitable. Better to survive through glacier withdraw than survive through an ice age.
Oh of course, I didn't think it's unnatural for glaciers to melt, that's no more unnatural than the fact that they were formed.
With your opinion on: "If you want to believe humans are speeding up this process, than it's speeding up the inevitable." I agree, it sure is. But I'm not sure that statement is the greatest way to think of things. For example, if I'm going to die in 40 years, why not speed up the inevitable and take on potentially dangerous living habits so I'll just die in 5 years? I think the point of medicine, along with the concept of reducing global warming and reducing our environmental footprint, is to prolong our good days and keep us as happy and healthy as long as possible.
However I'm confused with "Better to survive through glacier withdraw..." I'm not an environmental expert, but from my understanding, if all the glaciers were to melt, a lot of our current land would be submerged underwater, making it rather hard for a majority of the population to live.
Also, I'm a little stumped at: "...than survive through an ice age." Is there an upcoming ice age which global warming is preventing, thus it's better to have the glaciers melt?
Thanks for commenting! I'm loving the discussion! =)
Just help out your fellow human beings, teach your children the value of education and bettering the world, and be living proof through your actions that good people exist. Global warming happens no matter what you do, and humans could never destroy the Earth, just each other. Eventually, the Earth will start over without us. Just focus on giving back as much as you can and being a guiding light for others.
I have seen so many still of photos of this huge planetary feature, heard all the talk about "it moves" so far every year...... this has truly and magnificently done all the explaining, wonderful work, thanks
The visuals are amazing, but I think the audio is the best part.
Its on the move , not from air temp or water temp but from pressure. Its always on the move. The are no static glaciers. Anywhere
Because of.....?
@@kuznetskiibassein3840 extreme snow inland. It will only pack so high
@@odin1s269u Thank you for the breath of fresh air!!!
@@kuznetskiibassein3840 Gravity is relentless
Move yes but the movement doesn't justify the reduction of the mass without other physical factors... heat from air / water.
