I find this incredibly relaxing... The sounds of ice cracking like rolling thunder, with an incredible view and show. It really makes me want to visit one of these massive glaciers and spend a day seeing what I can see. Thanks for the upload.
Gabriela Mariana Supuran You're right. At the time I was shooting this, it seemed exciting. Now, it strikes me as ominous. I recommend the National Geographic documentary "Chasing Ice". I think there is a TH-cam clip that shows only the major calving scene, but the full documentary chronicles the sudden and dramatic retreat of glaciers worldwide.
rachit10 That is a great movie. The thing that struck me about it while watching it last year is that it came out in 2012, but the photography had all been done years before, like from 2004-2007, and then they'd spent the intervening years processing the photos and then making the movie... so all those photos were way out of date already by the time we sat down to watch them... and then when we think of the rapidly accelerating rates of climate change, it's like: How much further, and how much faster must those glaciers have been falling apart since then to now, and how much further and faster over the next several years? - Will there even just be anything left at all of them all in another 10-20 years?!
+Gabriela Mariana Supuran Darlin, this is totally natural. Many glaciers are growing exponentially so don't believe all the hype and research for yourself.
Robert Jones - No, it is not just a "fact of life," but instead, it is a fact of physics, just exactly like if you put another blanket over yourself at night you will be warmer; just that this time we're putting blankets in the forms of CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, which is stopping the heat from escaping back out into space.
Good narration by the ship’s steward. Giving us viewers info that might never have been known. She is also giving us the respect that the glacier deserves. Thank you.
Beautiful and sad at the same time. There aren't very many advancing glaciers left. Most of them are receding. Still an amazing and awe inspiring sight.
I think the first speaker misidentified what he was seeing. Horizontal layered ice is stratification, where vertical cracks are striations. It's when those cracks deepen and split the ice that initiates calving. Still a fascinating sight, showing us the nature of our planet.
We just came back from the same glacier on 6/2019. It no longer protrudes outward on the right side. You can now look down the length of the glacier on the right. It's also making much more cracking and popping sounds. So much more, that the sounds where overlap each other. The sounds of the stress fractures where so loud they vibrated your whole body.
My wife and I were there on the Norwegian Sun, in August 2015. We sailed up the bay in rainy weather that closed right in and reduced visibility to about half a kilometre. Up ahead, we could hear thunder and suddenly, the mist cleared and there was this immense wall of ice stretching across the bay. The cold air flowing down the glacier cleared the mist away and gave us a perfect view. The "thunder" was the ice cracking. We stayed there for nearly an hour and saw a lot of small-scale collapses, but nothing as large as shown here. It was our first big glacier - Fox and Franz Josef in New Zealand were our others, but Hubbard makes them look like someone tipped an ice cube tray on to the ground.
That's a beautiful description of your trip. Sometimes, those moody rainy days are the most interesting. In this video, I'm still amazed when I see minutes 18+, where you can see the immense scale of Hubbard Glacier.
Though is disturbing as well since it’s a clear indication of global warming. They are witnessing first hand the great tragedy of it - the destruction of nature
Was @ Hubbard glacier in August, this year (2019). Very noisy glacier caused by movement. Saw small pieces breaking off like the ones in this video. Alaska is beautiful and the fishing was great but it’s good to be back in Florida. 😎
My idea for tree leaf falling tours never caught on like glacier calving did. The trial run seemed promising to me, I thought, when a few pine cones dropped.
I find these videos very relaxing to watch and fascinating. I have wondered though, were there ever any incredible finds within ice that has broken off? I know that things can easilly get trapped in the creavases, humans and animals.
I've never seen a glacier in person so its amazing to watch one. Wondering why there are bands of deep blue ice in the "middle" of the glacier? I understand the pressure forcing out oxygen the lower you look, so logically all the dark blue should be at the bottom and none halfway up.
LuvBorderCollies: Glaciers are dynamic. They are constantly moving; new & old layers slide over, under, & sideways across each other. Sometimes the ice & snow is caused by terrain (like mountains) to flip over, crush into itself, sections to turn on its side, (rounding a curve, squeezing through a bottleneck), as well as the sheer force of all the snow & ice pushing against itself, causing it to intermingle with newer & older ice & snow. Glaciers roil, like vegetables in a soup, falling all over each other as the entire flow flows along, being pushed upwards, outwards, & downwards through any space that will accommodate it. And look at all the dirt (soil & sheered rock) that make stripes & whole sections that appear black. Glaciers are a hodgepodge, almost like a "marbled" cake. Kinda neat that way.
Didn't see your reply until now. Thanks for explanation. So awesome the colors and more awesome when a big one rolls over. Healthy respect for nature's power.!!
It is not forcing out the air. It is trapping the air in bubbles, then squashing them. Ice cores (Greenland and Antarctica) thereby hold a record of the atmosphere going back a million years plus.
I have always been amused by the terminology used by glaciologists to describe the various sizes of ice chunks from the icebergs. When the berg breaks up they call it "bergie bits" and those break up into "growlers" which break further into "brash".
Was this also filmed in April when you published the video to TH-cam? That seems a lot of calving for that time of year, I thought the biggest months for calving were July/August?
+rachit10 Thanks, that makes more sense. I'm hoping to get their myself in the next year or two and had my eyes on a July slot. I hope I see something half as spectacular as this. Happy New Year!
I wonder what it's like traveling across the top of a glacier. It doesn't look smooth at all, but a series of spikes or shards. I wish we got a closer view of that area.
People will be thinking different when we all the country's have big floods The ocean is going rise big time , I don't know how the earth holds all this water, wow, its all amazing, sad to to see it melt,
Yes, they are surreal! I thought it was stunning as I was recording it. And that one last huge part breaking off just as it's going out of view.. crazy. I thought, did I just see that? I think what made that part interesting was the heat waves seen in the very long shots coupled with the effective "dolly right" that the ship was doing while I was recording. It gave it a 3-D feel and provided a sense of the scale (huge) with the ridge in the foreground. Those last seconds are actually my favorite shots of the whole video. The long pan of the glacier took me two tries; it was so wide I had not positioned myself correctly to twist all the way to the left comfortably, so I had to re-stance and do it again. I also knew I had to get the last one right because I was running out of time. Thanks for the comment.
In theory, yes. Like the father was telling his daughter (maybe not even related, but it sounds like they are) you can count the rings just like dating a tree.
The father says Maybe we will be lucky and see some calving." As it starts calving all over the place and he doesn't know where to put his camera next and he begins thinking " Oh Sh*&! I hope this whole thing doesn't come down and it stops calving,"
Thank goodness it's not one of those vids where people are whistling and wooohoo-ing like they're at some party. Hearing that thundering is creepy! It's beautiful but I hate the fact that it's melting to quickly
The woman said that from all around the world people came to help save the the under water mammals. But never said if the people was able to save some of the mammals? I thank everybody who saves mammals and animals and all the other little living things like honey 🐝 birds and butterflies
Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier or (AKA valley glacier) in North America. Hubbard Glacier is the largest construction of tidewater glaciers in the world but its not the biggest in the world. Lambert Glacier in East Antarctica is the world largest. just saying because the video says Hubbard is the largest in the world.
My first thought when I saw the ice split off was "why is glacier I've breaking off" called "calving??" Then my brain tossed out " because when the ice falls into the water, pieces of rock that has been locked in the ice falls as well and creates a milky-color around it. " Or not. And next I wondered how long it will be before something locked in the ice reveals itself, be it a micro-organism or a huge beastie, and destroys humanity, like an arctic honey-badger.
Thank you for the maps at the beginning!!! Excellent way to understand the geography/topography of the Bay and glaciers.
The Danish film it right, no noises from people, Just the sounds of nature, they show deep respect.
I just realized that by watching on You Tube I saved at least 6,000 bucks!!
***** Awesome!
I find this incredibly relaxing... The sounds of ice cracking like rolling thunder, with an incredible view and show. It really makes me want to visit one of these massive glaciers and spend a day seeing what I can see.
Thanks for the upload.
Whoever put this video together and took the time to add the Google Earth view: Thank you, much appreciated!
I can't believe the beauty of the color blue in the ice
Yes , Beautiful and sad at the same time.

It’s sweet how dad was explaining to his little girl. Important that children learn like this 💕
Those colors in the ice are beautiful.
Gosh, this is beautiful!! We are going in June 2017!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for taking and posting this video, Hullspeed!
It's not usually this active, from what I hear, but it's very beautiful nevertheless. I hope you have nice weather and a lovely trip!
It probably wasn't even there by the time you went.🤨
I like all of your favorite videos very much thank you 😊
I love it when the ice is cracking. And I love the thunderous roar when it's coming down 👇.❤️
Good narration by the ship’s steward. Giving us viewers info that might never have been known. She is also giving us the respect that the glacier deserves. Thank you.
I was captivated by this. Great job! And thank-you so much for posting.
Pretty scenery Thanks for the view☺Some ice is so blue So pretty wow
ice becomes blue when under extreme pressure. Normally are the section in the bottom of the glaciers.
Thank you for your explanation. 👍
Beautiful and sad at the same time. There aren't very many advancing glaciers left. Most of them are receding. Still an amazing and awe inspiring sight.
Great video.... Thanks so much for the opportunity to view such an amazing creation of Mother Nature..... It's just a Blessing....
Great job!!!
Mother Nature had nothing to do with it
God would be the one to endorse on those magnificent iced mountains. Lol
Gewaltig das Knacken. Danke für Ihre Aufnahmen. Ihre Verena Steiner aus der Schweiz 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭😍😍😍
I was fortunate to see this spectacular site in 2001, totally awesome

Was there in June and it was the absolute coolest thing to see in person

Thank you. For two newbie tourists, the glacier was/is stunning.
The father/child interaction was so touching🙏💗
The only good bit.
Beautiful video - thanks for sharing it.
Everything in this world is so fine tuned, especially nature.
And we are plummeting into another global ice_age
I was at the Hubbard glacier. Beautiful.
I love watching these rapidly growing glaciers
Amazing landscape!
The sound quality is actually quite nice in this video
Wow how stunning- now that is ‘awesome’
Though is disturbing as well since it’s a clear indication of global warming. They are witnessing first hand the great tragedy of it - the destruction of nature
I love the Dad teaching
Unbelievable!! And frightening at the same time.....
Fantastic! Thank you.
Like 3.1k! Beautiful share! Nice video! 😍😍👍👍
THATS THE SOUND OF GOD GETTIN SOME ICE FOR HIS COKE.
Mythical god, lol,
Great video, ty
I am beyond jealous! When we went here in 2010 there was very little activity - I hope you realize you won the calving lottery.
Nice video
so does it freeze back up in winter months?

I love the name, Disenchantment Bay
Absolutely stunning beauty!
and we think we re the relevant power on this big rock !
What a good vid 👍🏻
belles images impressionnantes
SO COOL!!
Does this keeps going on all day? All spring?
My idea for tree leaf falling tours never caught on like glacier calving did. The trial run seemed promising to me, I thought, when a few pine cones dropped.
If the squirrels came down with the pine cones it would have been more interesting?!
Anyone else think the lady who’s reading the glacier facts sounds like Sigourney Weaver?
"It's not our system..."
18:08
Epic beauty.
I was there in July 2015 and witness 3 calvings in the short time we were there.
This is the most best video for glaciation and glacial erosion people who are studying can gain very lot of knowledge and clear information.
Everyone starts talking and the natural sound is not heard.
10:18 if castle of greyskull was made of ice
wowww l love arsiberg :-3

Pan out, man. Pan out!
Thanks for the video showing the earth give up for man kind.
Great stuff, a bit zoom happy though, missing perspective
I wish they had glacier calving noises as asmr I can't find any

I love watching it advance
That is intimidating for sure but I always see so many faces and images when I look at glaciers
Me too!! This is fascinating stuff x
Good video work
Nature is so noise! They are screaming!
Why is the water thrown up, black?

People will be thinking different when we all the country's have big floods
The ocean is going rise big time ,
I don't know how the earth holds all this water, wow, its all amazing, sad to to see it melt,
good camera work, the long distance views at the end seemed surreal.

I would love to see the age of the strata. There was a quite thick band of dark ice close to sea level in a lot of it.
I wondered if they could tell how old any of it is? Say you scooped up a chunk....
Could you tell?
I don't know. Maybe if it contained some extinct animal/plant?
Yes test the ice and water
Yes they can Elisie th-cam.com/video/VjTsj-fi-p0/w-d-xo.html

I have been there twice and it has been constantly calving both time and now it advancing much faster so it should be calving even more
DON'T ZOOM IN
@11:50
Like most you try to get too close and can't see the whole picture that is why you have to jerk the camera back and forth.
A kindergarten outing was it?????
Incrível
Are glaciers affected by hurricanes and/earthquakes?
This was uploaded on my birthday
Happy birthday, then.
What time of year was this and what cruise were you on?

Is that the same Glacier where they found Captain America?
No, that was off the coast of Greenland
sounds like sigourney weaver lol

Honey badger! Lots of people believe that paradise is under Antarctica and some think dinosaurs still live there under the ice.
i was here
