Enormous Glacier Calvings montage

A three minute montage of some large glacier calvings I've managed to film over the past few years whilst on various assignments in the high arctic. All of these glaciers are in Svalbard and Alaska.

Calving is absolutely a natural glacial occurrence, what is unnatural now is that rate at which it is happening and this is well documented. Our glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate. Recently I returned to a location in Svalbard where I had not been for five years. The glacier had retreated so many miles that the glacier was now three smaller glaciers and entire bay was unrecognisable compared to my previous visit.

This was breathtaking and terrifying seeing so much of it collapsing.

I’ve binged a lot of calving videos lately and this video is great, but the last clip is probably the biggest ice fall in the shortest time I’ve ever seen. Amazing- thank you.

Easily one of the best calving videos out there!! Fantastic work...ummm...SUBSCRIBED!

[zombiegirlfanter]

I don't know why this is so much fun to watch, but I'm mesmerized by it.

Having seen quite a few of these glacial videos, I was getting bored with them. This far exceeded my expectations. The close-ups and following an ice chunk down. I felt I was there with super powers to zoom in close and control time...

G'day, Mr. Sidey! Wow, those were epic! All that beautiful blue!

[OGMiiAx]

This is definitely something on my to-do list…i must see a calving in person 😍😍😍😍‼️ Mother Nature taking her course how could i not want to witness such a thing happening 💙‼️

Any chance you'd be OK with a nonprofit using a 2 second clip of a glacier collapsing for a video about climate change?
