A bit of a break from my normal posts, from my trip to Alaska, here's a massive glacier calving! Many thanks to the Adventure Bound Alaska tour aboard the Captain Cook for the amazing trip along Tracy Arm, we got to witness this massive glacier calving, and the yacht that was in the wrong place when it happened!
That was an absolutely awesome experience. Fantastic that you were able to record it. Blue ICE! I was there aboard my 30' sailboat in August 1982. At that viewing the North Sawyer was more active. I collected small chunks of Blue ICE to instantly age my then 6 year old bourbon. Ha ha. Thanks for posting.
Wooow, wooow i swear if she says wow like that again im going to loose it
lmao
Sounds like afire engine
YOU HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE, THAT IS THE LARGEST CALVE IVE SEEN AND AN AMAZING PIECE RESURFACE.
CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
The sound of that turbo spolling
for the people posting how sad to see a glacier die, human interference, depressed... etc... you should know that your watching ice cubes fall into and cooling the ocean like a glass of lemonade or ice water per say, the ice will continually slide down the mountains and fall into the sea, just like nature intended.. it will never stop snowing
and great video, very large calving, thank you
WOOOOOOOOOW he got it all on video! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww
Okay, THAT was a big one.
Yeah, the boat captain we were with who had been doing that tour for 25 years said it was in his top 5 :)
I was looking for a video of something impressively large like this, but when I FOUND this video... I wasn't ready to deal with it emotionally
I'm pretty sure it started coming up under the yacht; they must've gotten a little nudge that started them rocking, and that's when the captain made that 45° turn out of there.
Or I'm stoned, but I did watch this a few times before that, and stand by my observation (:
"Wooooow. Wooooooooow. Wooow. Wow."
Cool video! That boat sounds awesome lol.
Thanks! Was a fun trip 😁
Yes that motor sounds amazing!
The captain of the Elisa sure took a chance getting that close.
みているだけで気持ちが高まりますね。この見えている氷は、全て崩壊したり、とけたりしてなくなるのですか？そこが知りたい！
Videos like this are much better without the tourists shouting OMG. Most people who say omg do not even believe that God made glaciers.
I've visited the South Sawyer Glacier a couple of times in the last 8 years and it's retreated about 1 mile in that time. Those are some amazing pieces coming up, I'm guessing Elisa hit some Growlers when she was trying to get out of the way. :D
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW
Ohh my what A SHOT😮
Hey Seraph, do you have an email address we can use to contact you regarding this video? I'd love to discuss a license to use this if possible! Cheers, Felix
is the Elisa boat one of the shore excursions offered by the cruise ship?
Hah, nope, that was a private boat charter.
This shows that you should never get too close to a glacier,which is calving. The boat could be hit and turn it upside down
That’s a big ice cube
I watched the affluent go and see the destruction their corporate greed has inflicted. I also watched it on mute.... I wonder how many 'Oh my gods' and 'wow's did i thankfully miss...?
Hey guys....I’m in the rubber raft! No, no, come baaaaaccckkkkk.......
Hey that’s my boat.
People now : look at that beast falling
Ice :look at those people that dont realise if i fall , i take them with me , maybe not now , maybe not tomorrow , but in a few years ;)
Is so cool
That one woman in the background saying wow a thousand times was a bit irritating. lol.
It is a sad sight, these snowy mountains appear, melt, return to what they were, which is great for man because of the heat and the clear evidence of the imminent demise of this universe.
Wow
I have been their, guided their. Camera doesn’t even show it!
Very sad to watch what human comfort and ignorance can cause :(
Woooo OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🤫
Fish underwater like wtf
Судя по звукам за кадром, хорошая социалка у буржуев. Олигофренов возят смотреть, как лед падает!
QUE. SON LOS BUEGUESES. PARA USTEDES. LOS. COMUNISTAS..ESPLIQUEN. USTEDES. SON PRESOS DE SU. DICTADORA..ES ORRIBLE SER PRESO DE UN CISTEMA CAPRICHOSO. ..Y. MALVADO..SIN LIBERTADES. NI FE NI ESPERANZAS.....?
Ok
TH-cam recommendations are fucked one min I'm watching call of duty people dropping 30 kills go for a cig come back and its on this TH-cam HOW
And people are happy? It’s so sad to watch a glacier die
it's not dying it's calvin, been doing it for millions of years and it will keep on doing it.
@Paul DAVIES 100 years is not a long time, it's not enough time to create a pattern, you telling me that these events NEVER happened in the history of the planet? it's like saying you're the fastest runner in the country if you only take into account the past 5 minutes, it's moronic.
and there's no science on climate, nobody understands how it works which is why every single computer model they make is wrong every single time, not once were they right about something... these "scientists", government funded pieces of shit who sold their duty for the truth just so they don't lose their pathetic government funding.
@Paul DAVIES again, "recorded history" is only 300 years at max, we're at historically dangerous low levels of co2, these levels in the past were even 5 times as high (cambrian explosion) and that's when the planet was covered in vegetation the most.
There was no man polluting back then, and to think that firstly co2 is bad and secondly that us being part of less than 1% of the global annual co2 emissions will affect the planet in any meaningful way is naive, I repeat, these "scientists" were NEVER right, which by the way are a minority, as you can see only government sponsored "scientists" believe this in this, al gore made millions off this sham.
wooOOOAAAAHHAHA
that boat was a buzz kill come on dude get out of the way
That was exactly our thought too! 😂👍
...I mean c'mon...how often do you get to see that large of a calving and some rich beggar gotta get right in the shot, blocking the view! 🤦🏻♀️
Hi there, I work for a production company that is currently producing a documentary on Alaska, and we are interested in using your footage of this glacier calving. If you would be open to us using this footage my email is benjamin@@t - let me know, it would be good to hear from you.
Thanks!
Pięknie wygląda , ale w pózniejszym czasie wcale nie będzie pięknie
I wanted to hear the thunder not screaming americans.
Uuuuaaaaauuuuuuuu
You have to be kidding...
Deus nos ajude, estamos sofrendo as consequenvias de nossas escolhas erradas que tomamos
To much talk to much wow 👎👎👎
Aoooww waaaoo oooooo aaaaa waaaaaaooowwww gurrrr gurrrrrrrr gurrrrrr ships engine waaaaaaoooo aaaaaoooooo
what's not to love about global warming??
Nothing to do with global warming. Gravity is the force that causes calving.
Read stuff BEFORE you speak .
It stops you embarrassing yourself
Yay global warming lol
