INCREDIBLE COLLAPSE TRIGGERED BY GLACIER CALVING | South America, Chile
An incredibly large chunk of the Grey Glacier's ice-sheet breaks off and flips over in a spectacular way in Southern Patagonia, Chile. The ice-sheet of the Grey Glacier is currently declining due to increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall. It is part of the 'Southern Patagonian Ice Field', the world's 2nd largest contiguous extrapolar ice field and the largest freshwater reservoir in South America.
The Grey Glacier is famous for insane glacier wall collapses during the summer when large icebergs – often up to 100 feet in height – are breaking off the glacier and collapsing into the water of the 'Lago Grey'. In the right time of the year big blocks of ice break off the glacier and drop into the water. The waves created by such glacier calving events often splash dozens of meters through the air. The glacier itself is about 6 km (3.7 mi) wide and has an average height of over 30 m (100 ft) above the surface of the water.
Thankfully, no-one was injured as boats stay at a safe distance from the glacier (for a good reason).
Glacier calving, also known as ice calving, or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. The sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier or iceberg often causes large waves around the area and can result in a shooter which is a large chunk of the submerged portion of the iceberg surfacing above the water. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. (Find out more here:

Greenland is home to the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica. The sheet covers 3/4 of Greenland's land mass. The Ilulissat Icefjord drains 6.5% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs. Some 35 billion tonnes of icebergs calve off and pass out of the fjord every year (Find out more here: In the last 25 years, the Greenland Ice Sheet is rapidly melting, having lost 3.8 trillion tons of ice between 1992 and 2018, a new study from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) finds. The melting ice has added 0.4 inches (11 millimeters) to sea level rise. Its cumulative 3.8 trillion tons of melted ice is equivalent to adding the water from 120 million Olympic-size swimming pools to the ocean every year (Find out more here:
Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. The waves formed in locations like Johns Hopkins Glacier can be so large that boats cannot approach closer than 3 kilometres. These events have become major tourist attractions. Many glaciers terminate at oceans or freshwater lakes which results naturally with the calving of large numbers of icebergs. Calving of Greenland's glaciers produce 12,000 to 15,000 icebergs each year alone (Find out more here:
About this video: Incredible glacier calving & tsunami wave caught on camera (Bo B.)
This video is showing huge icebergs flipping over and subsequently a series of multiple iceberg and glacier wall collapses. Due to the enormous amount of ice falling into the water, the glacier calving event even triggered a series of mini-tsunami waves up to 16 feet in height (5 m) breaking on the shore.

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.

Glacier Calving, Amazing Collapses, Icebergs
Compilation of our maximum remarkable glacier calving and iceberg fall apart videos! Huge chunks of ice (every so often measuring extra than one hundred meters / three hundred ft. in peak over the water floor and masses of meters below) breaking off the glaciers and falling into the oceans can create tsunami-like waves, purpose massive icebergs to turn over or shoot up. Glaciers and icebergs are melting in Greenland, Alaska, Argentina, Antarctica and all over the world – growing great spectacles for the ones fortunate sufficient to be on the proper region on the proper time. More than 15 of those breathtaking glacier calving activities are covered on this montage. Of path all clips covered are left with their authentic audio tracks; with out song being added, you may pay attention to the cracking and melting of those ice giants.
Glacier calving, additionally referred to as ice calving, or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the brink of a glacier. It is the surprising launch and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away may be categorised as an iceberg, however will also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The access of the ice into the water reasons huge, and regularly risky waves. The waves fashioned in places like Johns Hopkins Glacier may be so huge that boats can't technique nearer than three kilometres. These activities have grow to be important traveler attractions. Many glaciers terminate at oceans or freshwater lakes which ends clearly with the calving of huge numbers of icebergs.
Greenland is domestic to the handiest everlasting ice sheet out of doors Antarctica. The sheet covers 3/four of Greenland`s land mass. But withinside the final 25 years, the Greenland Ice Sheet is hastily melting, having misplaced 3.eight trillion lots of ice among 1992 and 2018, a brand new observe from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) finds. The melting ice has brought eleven mm / 0.four inches to sea degree rise. Its cumulative 3.eight trillion lots of melted ice is equal to including the water from one hundred twenty million Olympic-length swimming swimming pools to the sea each year.
The ice discipline of the Glacier Perito Moreno is the world`s 0.33 biggest reserve of sparkling water. In the proper time of the 12 months huge blocks of ice destroy off the glacier and drop into the water. The waves created through such glacier calving activities frequently splash dozens of meters thru the air. The glacier is one in all Argentina's maximum lovely herbal wonders, the colours and shapes of the ice remind of a bit of artwork of Gaudi. The glacier itself is set five km (3.1 mi) extensive and has a median peak of seventy four m (240 ft) above the floor of the water.

Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier.It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption and is normally caused by the glacier expanding. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. Calving of glaciers is often accompanied by a loud cracking or booming sound before blocks of ice up to 60 metres (200 ft) high break loose and crash into the water. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. The waves formed in locations like Johns Hopkins Glacier can be so large that boats cannot approach closer than 3 kilometres (1.9 mi). These events have become major tourist attractions in locations such as Alaska. Many glaciers terminate at oceans or freshwater lakes which results naturally with the calving of large numbers of icebergs. Calving of Greenland's glaciers produce 12,000 to 15,000 icebergs each year alone. Calving of ice shelves is usually preceded by a rift. These events are not often observed.

Breaking Free: The Spectacular Calving Events of GLACIER #shorts
#glacier #greenland #meltingglacier #shorts
Glacier calving refers to the process by which large chunks of ice break off from the edge of a glacier and fall into the water, forming icebergs. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the front of a glacier extends into a body of water, such as a lake or ocean.
Glaciers constantly flow and move under their own weight. As they reach the water, the immense pressure and buoyancy cause the ice to crack and break apart, resulting in the formation of icebergs. These icebergs can vary in size, ranging from small pieces to massive chunks that can be several kilometers long.

LARGE CHUNKS OF ICE BREAK OFF FROM THE EDGE OF A GLACIER #shorts
#glacier #greenland #meltingglacier #shorts
Glacier calving refers to the process by which large chunks of ice break off from the edge of a glacier and fall into the water, forming icebergs. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the front of a glacier extends into a body of water, such as a lake or ocean.
Glaciers constantly flow and move under their own weight. As they reach the water, the immense pressure and buoyancy cause the ice to crack and break apart, resulting in the formation of icebergs. These icebergs can vary in size, ranging from small pieces to massive chunks that can be several kilometers long.
There are various factors that contribute to glacier calving. One of the primary factors is the imbalance between the accumulation of snow and ice at the top of the glacier and the loss of ice at the front through melting, evaporation, and calving. Climate conditions, such as temperature, precipitation, and ocean currents, can influence the rate and frequency of calving.
Glacier calving plays a significant role in the overall dynamics of glaciers and their contribution to rising sea levels. It is one of the primary ways through which glaciers transfer ice from land to the oceans. Calving events can be quite dramatic, with large pieces of ice breaking off and causing waves and disturbances in the surrounding water.
In recent years, glacier calving has gained increased attention due to the effects of climate change. Rising global temperatures are causing glaciers to melt at an accelerated rate, leading to increased calving and the retreat of glaciers worldwide. This has significant implications for coastal regions, as the melting ice contributes to sea-level rise, impacting ecosystems and human populations that are dependent on coastal areas.

Devastating Collapse: Massive Chunks of GLACIER Break Apart, Raising Alarming Concerns #shorts
Glacier chunks collapsing refers to the phenomenon where large sections or blocks of ice break off from a glacier and fall into the surrounding water or land. This process is known as calving and is a natural occurrence in glacier dynamics.
When a glacier advances, it gradually accumulates snow and ice over time. As more and more ice accumulates, the pressure exerted by the weight of the ice mass increases, causing the glacier to flow downhill. As the glacier flows, it reaches a point where it extends into a body of water, such as a lake or ocean.
The leading edge of the glacier, called the terminus, may become unstable due to various factors, including the melting of ice from underneath or changes in the water level. As a result, large chunks or blocks of ice, often referred to as icebergs, break off from the terminus and fall into the water below. These icebergs can vary in size, ranging from smaller pieces to massive chunks that can be several meters or even kilometers in length.
The process of calving can be accompanied by loud cracking or rumbling sounds as the ice breaks apart. The fallen ice chunks create a dramatic visual display, with the larger pieces creating waves and splashes upon impact with the water. These icebergs may float away or remain in the vicinity, depending on ocean currents and other factors.
The collapse of glacier chunks is an important part of the natural life cycle of glaciers. However, in recent years, the rate of glacier calving has increased in many regions due to climate change. Rising temperatures lead to accelerated melting and thinning of glaciers, making them more susceptible to calving events. These collapses have implications for sea level rise, as the ice that falls into the water eventually melts and contributes to the overall volume of the ocean. Additionally, they can pose risks to ships and maritime activities, as large icebergs can be hazardous if encountered unexpectedly.
