Ice chunk that hangs up and pops over at 11:14 - 11:20 in front of the person gives good perspective to the thickness of the ice and the power of the river. Fascinating, beautiful, intimidating
Vraiment toujours autant impressionnant. Merci d'avoir partagé ce superbe vidéo. J'adore aller regarder la débâcle de la rivière chaudière chaque années.. C'que je peux aimer ma ville natale.!! 😁✌✌👍
I was going to write the same thing. But with that guy standing there, you get a glimpse into the power of water. We love water. If it doesn't move, we stalk it, then drink it. But, if it's moving we get afraid. Awesome. Thanks for posting such a spectacle. Merci.
I am in total awe, I was blown away by the sheer force of the water but also by how fast towards the end of how fast it went. The person below gave a good example of size reference. Thanks for the video.
These "V" shaped spillways are designed to do exactly this, many rivers in northern climes can come to almost a complete flow-stop (especially rivers primarily fed by runoff) the ice can get feet thick and during the rapid rise during the thaw huge ice-flows become a problem. These, as you saw, use the weight of the ice against itself and break things up. Very cool.

C est fascinant ! Très bien filmé. Le bruit alentour devait être assourdissant semblable à un monstre rageur !?. Et diire que tout cela, ce n est que de l eau ! Quelle puissance que cet élément !
You don't get a sense of perspective until the guy shows up later in the video, just amazing to see. Sadly none of that here to see in Australia, great video thanks
Thank you ... many people never get to witness this power first hand. I'm grateful for the man by the fence ... that added so much perspective ... wonderful video, thank you.
Not sure why this popped up in my feed 3 years later but it is mesmerizing ! 15 minutes isn't long enough! plus it's great for my Tinnitus. Would love to see this area in the summer for perspective!
For those who don’t know were it is; it’s the Chaudière river downstream close to the St-Laurent river. South shore of Québec city in the province of Québec in Canada.
Thanks for taking the time to record this event. Most impressive. I was surprised at the number of people just walking by on the opposite river bank without taking the time to notice this happening. Again I thank you...HB
here in New England (and elsewhere?) this is an annual Spring event that we call "ice out". It is when the weather has been a bit warmer for a long enough time for the integrity of the river ice to be shattered and so begins the actual Spring weather. One of the great dangers on some rivers is down stream where enormous ice dams occur. Great damage can occur where the water backs up and where the ice jam press on bridges etc. Here in Northern Massachusetts, it was an annual pilgrimage to go to the dam at Lowell MA on the Merrimac River when ice-out occurred.
I'm so glad that guy showed up in the bottom right. Until he appeared, I was estimating that the ice was about 1-2 feet thick. With him standing there, I'm thinking it's closer to 6 feet thick. Wow!
Same Here..i didint have sense to proportion until this guy showed on corner..wow..i actualy thing that average piece of ica is abouth 2 or 3 m in radius
Awesome spectacle!! Maybe I have OCD, but was anyone else waiting for the ice in the middle of the dam to fall over? I tried using my finger on the screen, but it wouldn't budge!! Ha Ha.
Great ! job. Amazing video. Thank you, Sir for recording and sharing this with us and the world. It's worth knowing this happens and definitively, the next time I'm at a frozen river in spring, I will take safety precautions :). Thx so much and stay healthy.
Wow what a scene! Go to 11:00 minutes and you will see how big these chunks can get compared to human body. Nothing can stop flowing waters. It explains how canyons got carved by water. Thanks for this video.
Awesome video! Thanks for the upload. Spring is my favorite season because of scenes like this. This past year has been hard on everyone, a lot of loved ones lost. I hope this year brings much better times than we have been through, although it will continue to be sad times because of everyone we have lost. Hopefully our neighbors to the north will also have a much greater year. Stay safe everybody!
Merci de partager ces images, sur lesquelles je reviens de temps à autres, incluant les années précédentes. Votre contribution sur le phénomène des mouvements de glace sur la Chaudière est non seulement spectaculaire, mais elle constitue pratiquement un documentaire "historico-patrimonial", quand on pense aux relations que les riverains de la Chaudière peuvent avoir avec ce cours d'eau aux humeurs si variables, à la place de cette rivière dans l'imaginaire de ceux qui la connaissent. Merci encore, et à une autre année, j'espère.
Spring has sprung. WOW! The ice started about 300mm thick but the later blocks must have been 3 to 4 meter thick. The weir was doing its job of breaking it all up into smaller pieces to speed thawing.
When the person came into team my mind was completely blown. It truly put everything into perspective. I just didn’t realize how ginormous those iceberg were. Oh my gosh that’s insane. I would love to see something like this one day!!
well, the time when the ice go is difficult to predict. The window is usely between 15-03 and 15-04. Unless you have the time to go there each day for a month, you can miss it. I found myself luky, when i can take it in video. (And it can happen during the night too)

The power of nature. I could bring a chair and watch this for hours.
yup, a fire and some beers also. Momma nature is truely entertaining aye!
Put your chair on a slab of ice, and go over the dropoff! I could watch that! Now that would be cool, literally!
@@MichaelMosesHammer ha ha ha ha 👍👍👍👍👍Real human debacle.👍👍👍👍👍
This is why these videos are so popular. Watching the elements unleash their power Is mesmerizing. Kant called this "sublime" if I'm not mistaken
Me too
Tout semblait si calme et puis...quelles images de puissance!
Je suis très impressionné par ce mélange de vie et de mort que dégage ce phénomène, inconnu chez nous.
C'est le miracle chaque année
The man standing at the edge really gives perspective of how thick the ice is.
I was thinking exactly the same thing absolutely amazing
Vraiment toujours autant impressionnant. Merci d'avoir partagé ce superbe vidéo. J'adore aller regarder la débâcle de la rivière chaudière chaque années.. C'que je peux aimer ma ville natale.!! 😁✌✌👍
Ça me fait plaisir,
Wow! Great Video. Some of the ice was 2 meters thick! Wow!
I am 2 minutes in, and this is already my favorite video of 2022, hands down. I need more serenity, and this is it. Thanks!
Even though it’s from 3 yrs ago just saw it don’t feel like editing.
I am glad that person stepped into view to give a perspective as to the size of the ice.

@@kemosabi2237 Nature is in charge, we're just witnesses to its power.
Thanking you for showing us one of the powerful cycles of nature. Comes the spring and ice return to water.
That was strangely satisfying to watch thank you. Looks like you visited on the perfect day.
I was a little lucky
Did not realize the immensity of the flow until a man walks up to the guardrail. WOW
That was impressive. Love, and respect you Mother Nature.
There is something mesmerizing about the video. I could watch it for hours. Spring thaw, and ice out.
Whoooooaaaaa la merveille de la nature, magnifique 😍😍😍😍
Excellent, thankyou for sharing some of Nature in the Raw, such power, marvellous viewpoint.👍👌👍
Superbe vidéo, merci pour partager tant de beauté avec tous.

La glace est beaucoup plus épaisse que je l'imaginais ! Merci pour la vidéo.
L'épaisseur varie selon l'année, dépendant de la rigueur hivernale.

and by the time it passes through the rapids it's reduced to a smoothie of slush I expect.

Awesome! Thanks for catching and sharing this magnificent footage! Cheers!
What an amazing moment, it has to be joyous watching the ice move in spring ❤️ I can't even imagine this!!
Thanks for sharing!
Merveilleux!!!….un gros merci…
Avec plaisir 😊

That was absolutely phenomenal to watch! I plan to keep it saved so I can replay it in July & August! Thanks so much - 👍
Pretty well build all that stuff. Doesn't seem to even glitch under that wave of violence. Guys that build and designed this can be proud 👍
WOW the incredible forces of nature. Awesome catch of video
I don't know why this is so satisfying to watch. It's really pissa.

So relaxing to watch Mother Nature's power in the simple cycle of the season. Well done and thanks, Christian.
That was absolutely mesmerizing! Thanks!
You really get a crazy sense of the scale when that dude walks into the picture in the lower right corner at 10:26
Ice is 2m thick
Wow that was amazing ! Nice steady camera work. Great Job !

J'ai réalisé la grandeur la l'événement lors que j'ai vu l'homme au côté. Merci d'avoir mis disponible ce védéo.
Tres beau e tres dramatique. Merci.
WOW really memorizing that ice is so thick it's just Amazing
Anita from the U.K xx
The short glimpse of the nonchalant ice flow walking gulls near the end is hysterical.
They like that. They have an effortless way to liftoff so why bother ...
Setting speed to 2x kinda makes this video more intensive...
👍 Sympa de nous faire partager, merci 😘
Awesome spectacle!!
Maybe I have OCD, but was anyone else waiting for the ice in the middle of the dam to fall over?
I tried using my finger on the screen, but it wouldn't budge!! Ha Ha.
I felt quite affectionate towards that lump of ice! It wasn't going to go easily.
@@prokkle looks like more lumps joined in solidarity at the end.
Best video on TH-cam.
You win. 👍
Merci, impressionnant pour nous qui n'avons pas eu de neige depuis 10 ans (Bretagne sud)
@ 11:18 BY THE GUARDRAIL, THAT GIANT HUNK OF ICE LOOKED LIKE IT IS ABOUT 6' DEEP GOING OVER THE FALLS.
Merci beaucoup, c'est comme si on y était!
Cela me fait plaisir
Hé o c plate quand tu te fais inonder et que t’a une picine dans ton sous-sol
Merveille. Merci infiniment.
Absolut
I love this. Thanks so much!
To the people who see it every year, its called Breakup. Sometimes slow and gentle, sometimes a friggin' mess.

Bravo au caméra man merci pour ce beau spectacle!
Man ,i thought the icemachine in the fridge was loud!! Very good video thanks for sharing it !
That ice looks 50 to 100 centimeters thick and maybe even more!
that's exactly what I was figuring! Some of them look upwards of 2-3m thick even
Very therapeutic and relaxing - thank you so much!

thank you for making this video, very entertaining. Good camera work, and good editing.
