      However, global warming and icing is very much part of the planet. It has been for at least few million years.
      Just because we (current humans) can't show it or prove it... doesn't mean it hasn't taken place.

    Watching glaciers calving while we lived in Alaska was such an intense experience. If you ever travel there, I highly recommend it.
    First the cracking of the ice breaking away sounds so unique, and then watching as the dirty ice changes into that deep ice blue is just breathtaking. It was quite the tourist attraction, with boat tours taking people to areas of the state not normally inhabited by people, and the ability to go whale watching on the boat ride out and back.

    I spent a few weeks around the Southern Patagonian Ice field. I saw something similar to the Viedma glacier on the Chilean side. The sight of a glacier front collapsing and the huge blue 'shards' rising out of the water as the ice re-balances was one of the most awesome things I've seen. I recognise the icy winds that were blowing in that first video - the winds coming off the Andes are fierce and sometimes blow you off your feet!

      Calving is what happens when a growing glacier flows far enough for the unsupported end to be unable to support its own weight. It breaks off. This happens over and over as the glacier advances.

    Amazing video.
    15:00 It is not just that the boat was far away enough. But the thing is that it's clearly on significantly deep water. Waves - especially the tsunami-kind ones (which is what they are) - tend to have a much smaller amplitude (hight) in deeper water, while having a much longer wavelength.
    If you look closely, you can actually see the waves coming, but it goes much more gradually.
    If there exists any other coast line behind the boat, the waves can still build up when approaching that coast while shortening in length (when the water depth decreases closer to that coast), and still cause a significant impact.
    In other words: it's completely possible that boats on the middle of deep water hardly notice anything while somewhere else effects are clearly noticable.

There is the Columbia Glacier where this caving event took place in Alaska and the Columbia Icefield in Banff National Park in Alberta Canada which is 1269 miles or 2042 km away to the southeast. Though this error does not take away from the importance of highlighting the dangers of our crumbling glaciers are having on our planet.

      Ice calving at a sea terminus is something glaciers have been doing for millennia. I think if you actually look at the extent of the ice sheets and mass of glaciers is defying experts' predictions and holding up in spite of our fears. The North Pole was supposed to be ice-free by now. There's a lot of climate revisionism being pushed by the establishment, right now. I'm old enough to remember the '70s, when the same people were warning about catastrophic cooling and a new ice age just around the corner.
      While I'll agree with you that pollution is bad, I'm not sure this whole CO2 thing is driving climate change significantly, and a lot of the people who're pushing the doom and gloom want to sell you electric cars that require a lot of filthy lithium and cobalt mining that may be worse for humanity and the planet than too much plant food in the atmosphere. There've been a lot colder and a lot warmer times in Earth's geological past, and CO2 levels seem to have very little to do with it. We may even be helping green up the planet by releasing CO2 natural processes would otherwise lock away from plants in the Earth's crust.

    The active glacier in Greenland is also the source of the iceberg that sank the Titanic.
    You missed the single largest calving that was caught on camera, it made the iceberg that was named Godzilla and was larger than the State of Rhode Island.

      Absolutely! Many think the earth is failing because rising CO2 is causing a warm spell in earth's history and melting the glaciers. The ice has serious amounts of stored oxygen that the atmosphere needs to rebalance. This cycle may not happen in our average 80 year life span, but the earth survived its own birth. Nothing we humans can do to destroy it. The use of fossil fuels has lasted long enough for us to develop affordable and viable solar power that does not produce CO2. And since the sun's energy comes to us free of charge, it's right up there with wind and hydro power.

    Your description of the Columbia Ice Fields has them being shared between Alaska and the Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada. Check your geography and you will see that neither Banff nor Jasper are anywhere near Alaska, and neither is the continental divide - it runs down the Rockies in line with the Alberta-British Columbia border. The ice fields can be seen while driving the Jasper-Banff Parkway.

      @@jackpontiac9409 seriously do some research before sounding so incompetent, there is countless data, numerous aerial photos dating back to the late 30s and 40s showing the receeding decline in the ice caps during that duration. Wtf are u even talking about measuring water or something, lol. There are countless mountains that acquire snow caps in the winter and then during the other 3 seasons the snow melts and travels downward to thousands upon thousands of villages bc this is the only source of drinking water available, and over the last few decades alone the snow is receeding and receeding every year, 1 example is the Andes Mountains. Wiping out all kinds of species of fish, mammals, animals, insects, etc... in Alaska the glaciers are melting so fast that polar bears are about to become extinct due to lack of hunting ground bc they hunt on ice sheets and they are disappearing, actually nature is trying to force them to mate with North American bears aka black bears just to survive which has never been seen before(nature is resilient). They have islands that are disappearing bc the water has risen so much that the island is going under water, 1 example is the Maldives. Bro stop acting like bc u heard somewhere caps have been melting & u think everything about global warming is now a scam or something. Yes a shit load melts every year, duh! Difference is it freezes right back in the winter months, but every year they get less and less freezing back. Do u not know once this fully happens the magnetic poles could reverse and shift causing nothing but natural disasters around the globe, also the sea level would rise so much we would lose half the land under water. Im not sure if ur one of those extremely close minded far right wing Trump supporters that you believe shit he spats out or if you incompetent or just trying to sound smart and failed. I could keep giving example after example of effects caused by the planet warming, but ive done enough to point out the truth. Just go online and google aerial photos of practically anywhere on earth where they have pictures dating back over 50+ years and see the difference weve caused. The earth is always changing but not normally this fast without natural disasters or natural phenomenons causing rapid change or obviously human manipulation, other than that it takes thousands of years to change.
