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.

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

[@richardsidey]

Thanks @lionhawk thanks for the follow

[@kalisto69jade]

This is one of the BEST!! No jerking the camera or panning in and out. Love the shooters!!! Saw a few in Glacier Bay!!!

[@Lwah0812]

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

[@huverdoose]

Wow. I didn't think I could be impressed anymore with calving videos. This was really good.

[@richardsidey]

Thank you :)

[@mandilynn47]

Has anyone ever noticed the faces in the berg? Just curious.....this is gorgeous! Thank you!!

[@richardsidey]

Others certainly have mentioned it :)

[@miked9466]

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.

[@foranken]

You've presented us with a Blessing by sharing your footage! Superb.

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

[@craigsheffield6546]

I find watching these to be very relaxing. I have been to Alaska a few times, and have seen glaciers, but have never witnessed a calving. I would be in awe.

[@stephaniemcpherson2558]

This is the BEST calving video EVER!!!!!!

[@kirtidaparekh3091]

[@richardsidey]

Thank you

[@karenjadiesteinhards]

Outstanding video of collabs .sounds are amazingly relaxing ❤

[@phapnui]

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...

[@johnarmenta2199]

I feel like I could watch footage like this for hours!! It is so captivating!

[@richardsidey]

Sure is! thanks for the comment

[@jesusramos1440]

Did anyone else notice the mastodon at the very end of the calving when it starts rising into the air When it breaks apart and sinking back into the sea.theres a fleeting moment to see it, right side .

[@rithvikmuthyalapati9754]

That last one tho. The glacier, with the help of buoyancy, shot up to a ridiculously tall height

[@richardsidey]

Sure did, that’s what we call a shooter, a piece of submerged ice breaking off underwater. They can appear without warning and be deadly.

[@muhammadasifkamboh7188]
