      You and I know that much of this issue, has been politicized. Even though parts of the topic are real...
      However, global warming and icing is very much part of the planet. It has been for at least few million years.
      Just because we (current humans) can't show it or prove it... doesn't mean it hasn't taken place.

    I spent a few weeks around the Southern Patagonian Ice field. I saw something similar to the Viedma glacier on the Chilean side. The sight of a glacier front collapsing and the huge blue 'shards' rising out of the water as the ice re-balances was one of the most awesome things I've seen. I recognise the icy winds that were blowing in that first video - the winds coming off the Andes are fierce and sometimes blow you off your feet!

    Watching glaciers calving while we lived in Alaska was such an intense experience. If you ever travel there, I highly recommend it.
    First the cracking of the ice breaking away sounds so unique, and then watching as the dirty ice changes into that deep ice blue is just breathtaking. It was quite the tourist attraction, with boat tours taking people to areas of the state not normally inhabited by people, and the ability to go whale watching on the boat ride out and back.

    Amazing video.
    15:00 It is not just that the boat was far away enough. But the thing is that it's clearly on significantly deep water. Waves - especially the tsunami-kind ones (which is what they are) - tend to have a much smaller amplitude (hight) in deeper water, while having a much longer wavelength.
    If you look closely, you can actually see the waves coming, but it goes much more gradually.
    If there exists any other coast line behind the boat, the waves can still build up when approaching that coast while shortening in length (when the water depth decreases closer to that coast), and still cause a significant impact.
    In other words: it's completely possible that boats on the middle of deep water hardly notice anything while somewhere else effects are clearly noticable.

    Your description of the Columbia Ice Fields has them being shared between Alaska and the Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada.

The ice fields can be seen while driving the Jasper-Banff Parkway.

    For once a narrator that knows how to do it. No corny humor that inevitably falls flat, no patting on the back, no "I've got so many questions about...." as if they are soooo important. No, you just tell the tale and then get out of the way. This is narration as it should be done. An accompaniment to the video, a support structure. Thank you for doing it right.

    If you really think about glaciers. They are not falling off into the water. They are already IN the water, when they break off you can see how much was under the water!! It’s beautiful blue color.

      It is not melting it is breaking off because it grows out too far to support its own weight. The bergs will melt as they move around the oceans. This is normal.

    The Portage Glacier, East of Anchorage, Alaska, will leave large chunks of ice at the elbow of Turn Again Arm. We used one 1 cubic chunk that we found on the shore in our ice box to set our fish on. It did not melt for over 2 weeks.

    3:25 - That 5,000 miles are approx. 8,000 km does not mean that 5,000 square miles are 8,000 square km (correctly, it corresponds to approx. 13,000 square km).

    I greatly enjoyed and found this video very informative. Though there was one error while talking about the Columbia Glacier. There are two Columbia Glaciers that the narration indicated were the same one. There is the Columbia Glacier where this caving event took place in Alaska and the Columbia Icefield in Banff National Park in Alberta Canada which is 1269 miles or 2042 km away to the southeast. Though this error does not take away from the importance of highlighting the dangers of our crumbling glaciers are having on our planet.

      Ice calving at a sea terminus is something glaciers have been doing for millennia. I think if you actually look at the extent of the ice sheets and mass of glaciers is defying experts' predictions and holding up in spite of our fears. The North Pole was supposed to be ice-free by now. There's a lot of climate revisionism being pushed by the establishment, right now. I'm old enough to remember the '70s, when the same people were warning about catastrophic cooling and a new ice age just around the corner.
      While I'll agree with you that pollution is bad, I'm not sure this whole CO2 thing is driving climate change significantly, and a lot of the people who're pushing the doom and gloom want to sell you electric cars that require a lot of filthy lithium and cobalt mining that may be worse for humanity and the planet than too much plant food in the atmosphere. There've been a lot colder and a lot warmer times in Earth's geological past, and CO2 levels seem to have very little to do with it. We may even be helping green up the planet by releasing CO2 natural processes would otherwise lock away from plants in the Earth's crust.
