One of the most beautiful things about nature is the absence of man-made noise.
Yeah theres nothing like the sounds of the wild northern royalty free orchestras
@@technodruid lol
Couldn't say it any better
but it happened because of man made stuffs
Man is part of nature.
Unfortunate that people filming historical events cannot remain quiet. That can never be fixed, but the music mistake can be. Nature has the perfect soundtrack and that's what is needed here.
Libena Starikova nature should be experienced like an epic Jerry Bruckheimer film👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@skeater3662 Thank you for a good laugh. Good comment.
Boo hoooooooooo🤦♀️
@@PurringMyrrh Why the sad tears?
This is a selfish thought, if you happened to be in a rare moment like this, your gonna take it in and maybe make some noise, they didn't go out there to film it for you
The sounds of nature are all that’s needed to go with this amazing spectacle! Not dramatic music that takes away from the awesomeness of the glacier calving! Good footage but music spoiled it for me sorry!omg! That shooter was unreal! It was gargantuan, it looked like something from a movie but real- omg!😱🤩🤗🤗🤗
The music is cool sound effect
@@liannislam9006 The music is shit
Absolutely. I really wish people wouldn't put stock music over otherwise impressive footage. It invariably cheapens it.
No-one notices the blasphemy and language?
@@tonyblackie3277 Oh my f‘ing god, what are you talking about? God doesn‘t exist so there‘s no blasphemy lol
Music is REALLY ANNOYING, but that Shooter was AMAZING.😲
OOOH H MYYY GAAWWWDDDDD SHSHIITITIT OHH MY YGOOWWOASNSNSDD OOWIJWOIJEWO"IJRO"WEIJHOEHFN shut up yankees
Actually, given that they could have chosen any music (I once saw this type of video with dubstep music!?!?!) I don’t mind this decision...
Not surprised to hear that coming from a sheep manipulated by movies and video games..
It sounds like a B movie Viking saga from the 1960's or, a Facebook ad about some employee who quit his job to manufacture a gizmo the "rest of the industry tried to hide from consumers".
@@3Moonstar6Assassin9 tf does this have to do with video games? Lmao stop trying to create pointless arguments
just remarkable. Didn't need sound effects
Music is not needed. It would be better to use the sound of the ice breaking or even silence.
Absolutely right! Breathtaking anyway
Saw a clip of this, believe me you would not want the sound, the music is a lot better than all of those immature screams an d yells.
Lloyd Christmas I was not whinging just voicing my personal opinion.
Yeah well silence is god damn boring. And obviously the creator agrees that music is better soo go find a creator that makes silent videos and go watch them cause a lot of us like the music rather then silence
@Ezikeal ...YOU have control of that... ;)
That is stunning! Have never seen a glacier calving that was so impressive. thanks.
Talk about a Kodak moment, great footage, thank for sharing... 👍😁
Gorgeous, amazing footage, even a year later. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, perfect timing catching that shooter, wow!!! Thx for sharing!!!
I thought it was clickbait turned out even better that shooter was massive😱😱
Because of this video I learned what a shooter is👍
The shooter was amazing!
👏👏👏👏👏
Seeing those glaciers and the magnitude of them fills me with a newfound sense of appreciation and total awe for the one who made all things, YHWH!!
What a GREAT video!! Thank You!!!
A wonderful video, thanks for showing.
3:40 in. You can thank me later 😂
HOLY thx JEEZ
It’s later.....I had my breakfast.....watched the footage at ideal spot.....thank you!
Yes, thanks. Not sure I could put up with that God awful music for more than 30 seconds.
th-cam.com/video/EDu0Istm9PU/w-d-xo.html
A shot from the small ship would have been better.
Now THAT gave me goosebumps. Amazing footage. Loved it. Thanks for sharing it.
And I thought the music was great; it was uplifting and inspiring, just like nature can be sometimes.
one of the BEST exclamations of "holy shit!" i think i've ever heard.... and then the uncontrollable giggling at the end, just priceless. Lucky sob ya
Amazing. Absolutely breath taking. Thank you for sharing.
God bless.
Thats super cool!
You guys are pretty lucky to experience that!
My guess is the music is there to down out all the "oh my gawd" background screahing
damn right
Gawd had nothing to do with it
It may have drowned out the commotion on the boat but it had no effect on my “oh my gawd”!🤯
@@josephastier7421 The hell does this have to do with customs in the USA?! 🤣
@@Mili-bedili I really don't God-damn know. Commet deleted.
I had the honor to visit your beautiful State and see the Glacier. It took my breathe away. I was kust sorry I didn't get to see the Northern lites, and the many many other we orders your State has to offer.
Thank you fir sharing.
absolutely spectacular footage! nuff said
That was incredible. I can't imagine seeing that in person. I've been watching these glacier calving vids for years, I don't think I've seen anything quite like it.
I’m speechless! That has officially become one of the top 5 most amazing things I’ve seen in a video! Another top 5 video is another glacier calving event, I can’t recall the name of the glacier but the footage is from a documentary about glacier calving and global warming called “Chasing Ice”. It was the biggest calving event ever filmed. If you haven’t already, check it out, and I assure you will not be disappointed!👍

Could definitely have done without the soundtrack. For people who have never seen this before it would be cool to hear with the cracking and the sounds are associated with iceberg collapse and calving are like..
That was awesome!
Cruised to Alaska many times and never saw anything like this. Thank you for the great video.
Amazing video, thanks
Was like watching some special effect in a movie with some ice creature about to break free. Spectacular!
Thank you for posting.
😃😀Amazing, 😯😲the power of nature, it's a good shot very quality👍👍👏. very thanks 🤗
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. you are so lucky. Just an AWE moment.
Awesome 👏 footage
Good old Mom Nature sure can give us a beautiful show now and then.
Wow the whole video was impressive! Thank you.
I think it'd be better without music too or at least an option to turn off music because I like to hear what's going on rather than some pounding drum. The spectacle is spectacular all on it's own. The music just makes it so you can't hear what's happening.
That's beautiful! I need to get out and experience things like this!
Maybe you need to appreciate being a good steward and not do more harm by tourism.
@@carolisaac5459 man shut yo ass up.
Spectacular, the shooter was spine tingling. I’ve only seen one other. Beautifully done.
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Dang it. I'd rather have the natural sound
Great catch.
Wow, what a great moment you where able to watch. You really had big, big luck.
Great video; thanks!
One of the best sightings!
If a glacier is calving it is because the ice above is forcing the glacier down the mountain. It means a healthy glacier, not retreating. M
ore snow on top, more calving.
So temperature has nothing to do with it? 🤔
@@erikarneberg11 No. Not when the frigging SUN is in a grand solar minimum. Now STFU with your man made climate change horseshit and enjoy the video..
@@RickyGuterson Oh, sorry- you must live somewhere where ice doesn’t melt at zero degrees centigrade or above… 😂
Incredible!👏👏👏
That shooter was awesome !! I've never seen anything like it in my life ! 😃👍
Honestly I expected a giant ice monster birth or suddenly been freed from frozen containment ice lizard to go on the attack. 200 foot high ice monster has a hard time keeping it together. As we see here.
If you do another video like this please no music
R Wilson... We agree with you... Plus anyone that keeps yelling OMG OMG, Holy Sh!t again and again! So pleasing to the ears... NOT!
I don't see what the problem is
and it's their trip
Let them enjoy it
Just turn the sound off if you don’t like it. Not difficult!
So what happens when all of this ice is gone?
@@jasondavis2995 it will take a thousand years for the ice too be gone. long after we are not here. unless you believe in global warming. which i do not.
This is literally on my bucket list along with panning gold and seeing the Northern lights.
That calving was crazy!
Lose the tunes, let nature speak for herself. Nice catch of a rare event!
TH-cam idiots can't help themselves! Always putting shitty music to their video's!
The tunes were awesome
@@indigenousaquarian3112 shitty music? Sorry it’s not hip hop nigga
If you can hear the event before it is finished falling; you are way too close!! So the music filled in for the silence while the ice was falling.
@@allencar5212 That silence is part of Nature's show.
I visited the glacier in 1982 aboard my 30' sail boat. At that time the Glacier was not white and blue. There was a lot of rock and fragments on top of the ice. So it all appeared rather brown. Great Capture of the action!
The glacier face was melting then.
Excellent mate🍀🍀🍀
HOLY SHIT! That was the absolute best shooter I have EVER seen!!
Oh! Cool!! We talked to the helicopter tour pilots and this was the best they have seen also! Are you an Alaskan native?
@@skeater3662 hi, sorry, i just now saw your coment, lm from Bothell Washinton. But ya, this is a great video! That was so cool to see that shooter get so high! So amazing!!
Silence is GOLDEN
Brian McK thank god this video has all the colors of the rainbow!! 🌈 🌈 🌈 gold sucks by itself.
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!
How cool was that...👍💥😀
Music? Rather listening natured sounds of ice berg falling into the ocean and that is all about video recording.....
The best I have seen , I would loved to have witnessed that ,amazing footage,,,
The best. The shooter thing is unbelievable.
I did a polar plunge at this glacier when I was 17! It was with a National Geographic expedition through the area my Grandmother purchased tickets for us to attend. Absolutely amazing experience. I rate sailing from Sitka or Juneau to Anchorage above sailing the Amafi coast. It is truly the most beautiful place on earth
That was awesome timing on being there, congrats on that👍 saddening, but never the less amazing to see. Thanks
I agree about that being the most incredible shooter I have seen, for those of you not familiar with tidewater glaciers,a shooter is when the face is also breaking off beneath the waterline. I have a guide on glacier trips in southeast Alaska and seen some awesome calving, this amount of calving and the sheer size is the best I have seen, and I have seen incredible calving in Tracy arm with south sawyer and endicott glacier! For people seeing this from outside of Alaska it’s hard for you to realize the size and magnitude of this! I guarantee that boat was at least a minimum 1/4 mile away, probably farther, incredible footage!!!
If people can’t figure out what the shooter was in this video, they should probably stop watching videos on TH-cam and go back to licking windows!🤨
I love the way the little boat hurries away to hide behind the bigger boat!
@@certaindiaster59 So true! Our next generation is so braindead!🤪
@@troyottosen8722this is hilarious coming from someone who didn't even understand the original comment lmao

Ive seen a lot of these vids. You win! That was incredible.
Truly Awesome!:)
4:05 that little boat took his time getting out of there!
Wish we stayed to see the waves reach the camera location. Great video.
Today, so many bland, mundane things are "Awesome!", however, that 200ft Shooter is actually, umm..... AWESOME!!!
Unfortunately, so many things were once called awesome that AWESOME became statistically average...
This does raise the bar.
Thank you good video
Thank you for having no music at the best part!!
Pity it couldn't be said about the noisy people
Too bad we had to listen to an idiot.
How did they get a whole orchestra, including massive percussion section, into a helicopter?!
I don't know but I wish they dumped them out the door. Be gone bad noises!
A

Clang splat splat.
Look at this Ron!!!
Love the shooters best!!
Very nice footage here ... WELL DONE ! Nature at it's finest . It's to bad that one can never actually hear what the true sound of a calving glacier is because It's muted by the sounds of idiots screaming cheering whistling like they're at a concert , or in this case music . Some people need to figure out what the true meaning of '' SHUT UP AND LISTEN '' means . The sound a calving glacier makes it absolutely amazing . Try zipping it ..... You just might hear it .........
Yup. Distractions and noise doesn't help either. I wanna hear what nature is sounding like now.
It’s an echoing crack, followed by silence and then a rush of water as it plummets into the depths
I agree with the other commenters: NO MUSIC. Notice how much more interesting the video becomes when you get to hear the exclamations of the spectators.
Yeah right. Imagine being here, a pretty amazing, once in a lifetime spectacle, and the guy beside you with absolutely nothing to say won't just shut the fuck up and watch what is happening.
Feels like I'm watching pirates of the Caribbean.
With this footage, I can truly hear the ancient song of the glaciers 💖
One of my favorites
What a beautiful landscape. This world really is a wonderful place.
Good thing we have video to see it since it is all going to melt away within a few decades.
I'm glad you feel like that. There are some who don't but who cares.
@@cringeuser5123 I can't imagine it's going to stop snowing in the upper regions, opinions vary.
@@dannymanny6917 yeah. It’s an amazing World mate really. Fill off shit but still amazing we are here to start with lol
@@cringeuser5123 lol so they say friend. But it’s been melting for years and believe it or not it’s happened before. Just not for a long time. We will be ok though. We are smarting than the average bear 🐻 😂
Being quiet for “too long” is a good thing. I would be happy to see calving stop everywhere for for reasons that speak of prolonging the glaciers existence.
You mean that you want a new ice age?!?
This has happened every year for millennia.
On the day Al Gore was born, there were 130K glaciers. Today, only 130K remain.
Turn off your TV.
Fricken incredible
The blue spots are cool looking.
I've never heard "HOLY SHIT" used more appropriately.
Wonder how old that ice was? Amazing footage of that shooter. Biggest I’ve ever seen on TH-cam.
A couple decades old. It only slides around twenty five miles through the valley.
It's the biggest I've seen too. So far. Biggly yuge. Large. BIG! I love it. Not because of the melting disaster but for the lesson to look at the cause of the disaster.
With a little bit of CGI it could be morphed into the birth of a giant ice monster.
Cool eh?
WOW!! life on this Planit is a gift from GOD. No doubt about it!
Holy cow that was massive
Anyone replacing the natural sound of glacial calving with music, (or anything else for that matter), must have an I.Q. reaching into negative numbers.
Agreed, cut the music and get live audio feed on the glaciers.
You'd still hear all those "oh my gawd"s even louder ...
Incredible
Unheimlich und doch Wunderschön diese Natur.Danke für die Tollen Aufnahmen. Eure Verena Steiner aus der Schweiz 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭😍😍😍🌹🐞🐞🐞
*It looks like the glacier is giving you the finger!*
Yeah, the glacier didn't like the music either.
Skeat Skeat lol
Skip to 3:23. You're welcome. Epic. Never seen anything like that before. I wish I was there.
So beautiful
100% F- ing! Incredible!!!🤯🤯🤯
Better to have music than Oh my god and Holy shit all the while
Good music....im a little disappointed we didn’t get to see the waves off that monster!! But that’s just my taste. Cool video!!!!
M Roseman41 , the waves from calving are usually “surge” waves, more of a building wave, by the time they get to closer to the boats in the distance they have flattened more out, most of these boats stay approx 1/4 mile away from the face for safety reasons! You don’t want to be too close when a massive piece breaks off!
Can’t wait to fly over this in august!
Magnificent.
Great video but I agree with everyone else. The music isn't necessary.
I wonder if they realize that they are the first people in all of human history to see that ice that came up from under the ocean. Very very lucky.
What?
The sea must have been really deep too to have a shooter that big break off from the sea bed.
@@leoniemillerl4487 The undersea part of bergs doesn't attach to the sea bed - it's just submerged. Check out the principle that you only ever see 1/8 of a berg........it's physics.
Cool video
