GIANT Iceberg 'Shooter' Triggered By Glacier Calving [4K]

The Perito Moreno Glacier is famous for insane glacier wall collapses during the summer when large icebergs - often up to 250 feet in height - are breaking off the glacier and collapsing into water of the Lago Argentino. The ice field of the Glacier Perito Moreno is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water. 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 is one of Argentina's most beautiful natural wonders. The glacier itself is about 5 km (3.1 mi) wide and has an average height of 74 m (240 ft) above the surface of the water.
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. These events have become major tourist attractions -a beautiful landscape, cracking sounds, large icebergs and sometimes even tsunami-like waves create overall stunning spectacles for all visitors.

now im on a "shooter" binge watch.

Surprised the people on the boat stayed that calm

[@lesterpittenger5992]

The narrative subtitle obscures much of the good stuff.

[@cleopatra1633]

and obscures the truth, glaciers are not globally retreating

[@ColossalCake]

You can turn off the subtitles.

I'm so glad I paid attention in my mineralogy class because it makes this even better

[@djphlange]

that dark blue ice! looks so cool

[@viktork.1281]

And that’s the exact reason why boats should not get too close to these glaciers!

[@icewatchers]

WOW. Just imagine how many tons of ice that were?!

[@bakalakpal]

According to Wikipedia, the height at the edge of this glacier is about 240 ft. Just guessing that the block of ice that calved is 240x240x300 ft and the density of ice being 0.917g/cm^3 the weight in tons this block would be roughly 500,000 tons.

I really a shame you can't obscure more of the screen with your dull closed captions blocking the view of what we're all trying to see. Why don't you just put your hand in front of the camera or just point it away from the collapse?

​@@cleopatra1633 you should be. The north atlantic current depends on a delicate balance of fresh and salt water, it's already on the edge of collapse. When that happens the north atlantic current stops, the current give us our warm climate there. Without it things are much different
