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.

Thanks for sharing. I agree that the last segment is probably the best I've ever seen. Thanks again.

[@amontahir7480]

Excellent footages of melting rocks of glaciers. Amazing photography. Great shots.

[@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...

[@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.

Look at that pure blue ice 🧊 Probably hasn’t been seen for decades/centuries!
