Glacier Calving | 15 Amazing Collapses, Tsunami Waves and Icebergs

- 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.
Literally watching history.
There is no purer color in the world than the color of iceberg. Every look at it is calming.
Your high?
Yes... it has been said that it's one of the calmest ways to die.
ikr, its very satisfying to see one of the factors that can kill us :)
jokes aside, it is satisfying, but a lil bit scary

That color of water though! I can only imagine what a sight it would be to behold being able to witness this happening up close. The actual size of them hidden beneath the water is just amazing. And then the size of waves they create, Wow! Thank you for posting.
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.

Would have been much better if the editing hadn't been cut short so many times.
Dertray thanks for ruining my day and reminding me of the grim reality of the world.
Degelo tsunami
O mi good
Watching this gives me a feeling of amazement and sadness both at the same time. That´s so weird...
amazement? thats pretty weird. this planet is suffering
@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.
@@unoriginal6958 that's actually a natural process, they have always done that. Those giant pieces of ice are just bumping into each other all the time till a piece breaks off
me too, mixed with some weird anxiety.
Global warming 😔
I like seeing the wave come in to completion. A lot of videos just show the roll or the calving. However, the wave is just as cool. Thanks.
Message to the cameramen: Stop zooming in and out. Pick a shot, zoom out, and stick with it. Don't move.
I think
the original video is from 2014....
Ya? Try watching a kids hockey game video by a zoom trigger happy parent lol. That's fun, NOT :)
Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact the fist video was the one in the thumbnail!!!! Now, I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of calving glacier videos. This would be amazing to witness!

We must face a disastrous effects in the coming years on our planet because of our carelessness on environment

It's not cold. That's why they're breaking up.

Nicely done. I like that you let the clips speak for themselves and don't do an overly dramatized voice over.
Would have been even better without the commentary (subtitles) covering the event.
That blue is so amazing and I can only imagine the sound in person. Amazing.
Can't get over the beautiful colors. Blues, teals, grays, whites are my favorite combos.
you probably dont give a shit but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!

@Nathan Uriel thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Nathan Uriel It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Ty Jude you are welcome :)
Why freggin stop the clips just when we want to see the waves?
Yeah... he also panned left when that boat was about to ride it too.
@@marctardif9756 I'm with you, Ben Gravy has a video out of riding these things
The dude was running up hill
Thanks for this comment
I think the dude was trying to get out of dodge
Just think, there are probably creatures frozen in that ice that's been there for millions of years. Maybe even before the dinosaurs. Nature is truly amazing.
Seeing them arise from under water is awesome!😀
Thank you so much for just letting us listen to the sounds of nature!
What type of birds are flying around there ?
Nádherný příběh přírody. Mocná čarodějka. Krásné video 👍🇨🇿
Boy, those things are beautiful!🌊
That first one is insane! The scale of those pieces rising out of water is anxiety inducing
Dangerously beautiful and truly a sight to be able to see these awesome spectacles in person. Lucky photographers and by-standers. Thank you Licet Studios and all the other contributors! 👏👏😊❣️❣️
Thank you, hope you are well!
@@LicetStudios Yes thankfully, and you too ❣️❣️
Да природа непредсказуемая
SAID EVERYONE THAT DOSNT LIVE ON A COASTLINE
Thank you for sharing this incredible video...the color of these icebergs look so beautiful . Seeing this in person must be overwhelming
It's hard to comprehend the amount of energy involved in these events.
Awesomely terrifying! And, at the same time, spectacular! Mother Nature is truly a force to be reckoned with! 🌎🌋🌀🌈🌊
Glaciers have always been moving and collapsing. It makes them so entertaining.
I don't understand why people don't respect the grandeur of the moment, and ruin it for others by squealing like little girls. A big part of the event is the sound. We all know you are properly-impressed. You don't have to squeal and shout to impress us how much you are impressed.
I had to turn off the sound for that exact reason.
I dont mind the few ooohs & ahhs but dont CLAP after it happens, that's stupid
I would rather take a huge shit infront of everyone, as a sign of respect.
It's a Pavlovian response, like when the dog barks at the mail man. Only stupider, because the dog's doing it for a legitimate reason.
not everyone is a repressed sad sack who are incapable of showing any emotion before an awe inspiring scene.
it looked like an icy cathedral falling slowly on it's side. Spectacular!
That must have been amazing to watch in person.
"I knew it was ready to go." As if he has waited daily at this time, showing all patience and understanding. Sentinels of the Golden Calving🤕
Losing hope for humankind with that one jk..jokes aside.. Terrifying but we made our beds...god bless!
it's chaos and peaceful at the same times it's amazing
The way they move..... it's like they're alive. But that blue color is spectacular!
Que pena como lo más sagrado y valioso se desvanece a pasos agigantados😢😢
The power of the iceberg when they break off is amazing.
I just loved tht glowing green color in the first clip. That was truly amazing. Its God's hand made nature. Amazing colour
- gigantisch - eindrucksvolles Video -- DANKE ‼ 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful, wonderful videos for nature ! 🙂
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!
And you try to say in person what you say behind your back ...
@@eleonorachernisheva9141 I am sorry. I did not understand the meaning of what you said. Would you please clarify for me?
@@jeroldcrawford3431 the fact that this is a lie, not what you really think
Imagine how many years since that underwater ice saw the light of day.!
It is a very fulfilling sight to see the new jade/crystal blue crisp surface that emerges after the old fluffy white layer falls off !!!
Impressive view, the exact same effect take place in a volcano with the lava and some rocks but at a slower pace, intriguing how nature is, the more we know the more we learn.
заметьте ... не показывают волны и последствия обрушения волн на берег , старательно вырезают эти кадры
"The more we know the more we learn" what does that even mean? The more we learn the more we know, makes more sense.
Вот это мощь!! Силище сильное!! Красиво и страшно!! Спасибо, такое увидеть, это что-то!!
Isn't our planet full of natural beauty and surprises!! I thank God for giving us this earth to dwell on.
Thank him for me too that he took it away. Or at least gave us thousands of morons who were okay with it being taken away. "cLiMaTe ChAnGe iSnT ReAl"
@@MrCTruck Climate change is rubbish. The earth can defend for itself. It always has for millions of years. Gods nature is naturally powerful.
@@MrCTruck please show me proof that climate change is real
The glaciers have been calving since the beginning of time people.
@@bentotc5097 If you want to blame anyone for it the best you could do would be China. They claimed the last few years they'd reduce their coal emissions and instead built 3x as many coal plants as most of the developed world combined. But I also agree with the original commenter, we have seen faster changes of climate on this Earth many times before, that is scientific fact.
Global warming caused by man is a HOAX.
I love Argentina's Patagonia, the snow there it's awesome too
It’s hard to hear the thunderous roar of a calving glacier over the cackling, screaming and whistling of the tourists. Bummer!
I don’t know why they are screaming and cheering, it’s a sad occasion to see this happening.!!
Don’t forget the clapping... That’s as bad as people who clap when a plane lands 🤦♂️
@@grahamallen3941 yes. Let's travel,pollute the place and cheer like morons as this happens. 🙄
At times, the first one looks like something is coming out of the water or ice. Also, we never searched for this, but we all enjoyed it.
What's incredible is that these aren't even particularly large for this type of event. A couple years ago, a piece of glacier several times the size of Manhattan broke off into the ocean. The sheer size of some icebergs is insane.
What are talking about LOL
@@sweetassugar2076 th-cam.com/video/hC3VTgIPoGU/w-d-xo.html Berg bigger than Manhattan breaks off western Greenland
It never fails to Amaze how liberals can't get it . There's nothing anybody's can do control it .you can be sad when it starts cooling 90% of all life dies it's done that because of an elliptical orbit of if they cooled down 5 degrees it would go ice ball then all flora and fauna dies

Vous avez raison-c'est un vrai malheur! C'est une catastrophe universelle.
to feel the energy and power up close would be amazing!!
6:52 Ice that blue and clear is thousands of years old.
It gets like that surprisingly quickly actually.
@@PhilJonesIII How fast would you say? There are videos of Antarctic ice sheets calving icebergs with ice so dark blue it looks almost black. I'm guessing tens of thousands of years.
@@josephastier7421 I've seen ice like that under a handful of years snow accumulation in the Alps. Hell, I've seen same-season ice that colour.
A bit like the formation of stalactites. I was brought up to believe they take 1000s of years to form. Some do but their formation is a function of water flow and the mineral content of the soil above.
@@PhilJonesIII I hear you about the stalactites. I had them about 6 cm long and 1 cm wide coming off my evaporative cooler on my house. I snapped one off, and it had the same ring structure as the real thing. They had formed in about ten years.
@@PhilJonesIII This is the blue ice I am talking about: th-cam.com/video/bqIMXY8V_bw/w-d-xo.html
That was magnificently beautiful
Spectacular is an understatement. Thanks for sharing.😀
I love watching the calvings!! These are spectacular and awe inspiring!!
The earth is literally dying
AND YOU SAY *THAT??*
The technology that we have today allows us to witness these things which has been going on for thousands of years, nothing is new about this. But it is majestic!
Unfortunately, it's happening at an accelerating rate and causing glaciers to recede.
1:11 thats just so bizarre and fascinating how that gigantic "island" just turns over, and then the amazing water color! just wow. thanks for putting this up here!
The only thing louder than a calving glacier is ...........
Americans watching a calving glacier. 😅
This is why Ice wall climbing is more crazy than jumping out of planes to me
Always wonder what the sea creatures think when this happens. Best iceberg video so far.
They probably don't think anything, it's been happening for thousands of years, I'm sure they're used to it,
Ho hum more ice breaking
@@kevincarmack581 also, they are animals. probably just "thinking": wtf is that I should get the fuck away from here
That was so amazing to watch.
Thank you sooo much for putting text over the waves. Great idea....
I had neither imagined, considered or desired a bucket list..........................................until now!
now this is a proper tsunami wave. unfortunately bc of the camera most calving tsunami waves don’t seem big bc u have nothing to relate it to so this one is awesome and must have been terrifyingly large😰😱
Awesome shows! But I wanted to see the waves finish doing their thing!

clapping at things in general is idiot but melting glaciers...yeah there's a special flavour in that idiocy.
ppl living by a program "i'm impressed so i have to shout scream and clap" even if i have to cover the sounds of these impressive big scale events for every one around me to do so.
oof
Actually this does not have anything to do with climate change, it happens all the time since like forever. The glacier just slowly slides down until it reaches the point where it is to warm and starts smelting.
Dont wanna deny climate change here but this is something else and definitely no proof.
i just don't understand how people could be so callous and clueless. they're witnessing the man-made destruction of earth's ecosystem; the result of over 150 years of irresponsible and corrupt economic policy that makes the raping of our planet EXTREMLY profitable for the industrial elite. we're witnessing it in REAL TIME and yet WE STILL AREN'T DEMANDING IT BE STOPPED!

Dude that's crazy, most of these glaciers are THOUSANDS of years old. So when they collapse, they reveal all that new ice underneath that nobody has ever seen before, let alone sunlight even getting through that much.
Looking at history.
