What BS. Antarctica has grown over the last 20 years. The so called global warming crap stopped in 1998. We warm back up in 2030. And one more thing... If we in Australia didn't have this climate, you wouldn't have much fruit... Think about it.
@@readie10145 You and I know that much of this issue, has been politicized. Even though parts of the topic are real... However, global warming and icing is very much part of the planet. It has been for at least few million years. Just because we (current humans) can't show it or prove it... doesn't mean it hasn't taken place. I know where I get my information... but do they ??
Watching glaciers calving while we lived in Alaska was such an intense experience. If you ever travel there, I highly recommend it. First the cracking of the ice breaking away sounds so unique, and then watching as the dirty ice changes into that deep ice blue is just breathtaking. It was quite the tourist attraction, with boat tours taking people to areas of the state not normally inhabited by people, and the ability to go whale watching on the boat ride out and back.
Dude this is some of the best storytelling on you tube! Usually people just show a short clip then talk nonsense. You actually let us experience the full clip then explain everything afterward. Sir you are good at what you do.
Yeah but its not good information. #2 he says the Columbia Glacier in Alaska is part of the Columbia icefield in Alberta. They're thousands of km away.
I spent a few weeks around the Southern Patagonian Ice field. I saw something similar to the Viedma glacier on the Chilean side. The sight of a glacier front collapsing and the huge blue 'shards' rising out of the water as the ice re-balances was one of the most awesome things I've seen. I recognise the icy winds that were blowing in that first video - the winds coming off the Andes are fierce and sometimes blow you off your feet!

At 3:25, 5,000 square miles is actually almost 13,000 square kilometers since squaring the 1.609 conversion is about 2.59, and 2.59 time 5,000 is 12,950.
Many years ago, a friend and I went in a kayak rather close (probably too close) to one of the tidewater glaciers in Glacier Bay Nat. Park in Alaska. Had I seen this video before that, we might stayed a bit farther away.
I've been to Southern Patagonia and it is hard to appreciate the scale from videos, these blocks of ice aren't the size of houses, they're the size of 15 storey apartment buildings, the sound, like artillery, is also amazing.
For once a narrator that knows how to do it. No corny humor that inevitably falls flat, no patting on the back, no "I've got so many questions about...." as if they are soooo important. No, you just tell the tale and then get out of the way. This is narration as it should be done. An accompaniment to the video, a support structure. Thank you for doing it right.
John Henni I believe the blue in the glaciers means the thousands if not millions of years that the ice has been accumulating to include oxygen, debris and dust trapped into the ice... Incredible sights indeed
You've got to love technology for some things. Its amazing to be able to watch this in such detail. Its really inspiring in a way and makes me want to see one at some point in my life. Just incredible
watching this video I not only got to learn about some incredible Glaciers, but I also learned a new word. I didn't know that "calving" was the word for when the glacier breaks apart like they did in the video. thank you for the new knowledge
Calving is what happens when a growing glacier flows far enough for the unsupported end to be unable to support its own weight. It breaks off. This happens over and over as the glacier advances.
There are not enough words to describe the epic events I just watched!!! UA-cam rules! I can pretty much go anywhere on the planet and look around. Thanx for posting!!!
Life is pretty cool between ice ages! Glad we are still coming out of one instead of going into one! Awesome video! Not going to lie, I am so jealous of the people who were there when this happened.
Absolutely amazing, I hope I could visit Patagonia and Antarctica soon. At 0:10, I am pretty sure it is at Franz Joseph Glazier in amazing New Zealand, the home of 2 out of 3 glaciers in the world that you could climb and walk on it. I have been there twice, climbing ~10 years ago and last year with heli (now climbing is banned, only heli and then drop us off there and walking)
I watch many videos like this, you are the only one who has mentioned the Columbia icefield and how far it has retreated. I saw it in 1979 on Hwy 11 in western Alberta, it was only a mile away from the Hwy. I didn't see it again till the late 90's and you could hardly see the Glacier from the same spot! As much as watching icefields calving is awesome to watch, we need to realize it is changing our world at the same time!
The context note is bullshit… Man isn’t the main reason. One volcano can do more than we’ve done in 100 years. And it happens every day. If we didn’t have global warming, we would be in an Ice Age from 14,000 years ago.
I have the same concerns as you. The calving is extraordinary and beautiful but also sad because our ice fields (I think that's what they're called) are shrinking. God Bless you and have a beautiful evening.
Thank you for your intelligent, thoughtful and interesting video of glaciers and their calving. (You managed to avoid, what some video-makers resort to which includes, stupid screen shots of unrelated people, making shocked and surprised facial expressions, an exaggerated tone of voice which is distracting, annoying and unnecessary, and irrelevant comments that add nothing to the viewers' knowledge or information.) You also managed to be both informative and entertaining! Well done!
Your description of the Columbia Ice Fields has them being shared between Alaska and the Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada. Check your geography and you will see that neither Banff nor Jasper are anywhere near Alaska, and neither is the continental divide - it runs down the Rockies in line with the Alberta-British Columbia border. The ice fields can be seen while driving the Jasper-Banff Parkway.
The problem is he started talking about the Columbia glacier in Alaska (which is correct), then somehow finished by talking about the Icefields in Alberta……
Apparently there are TWO glaciers named Columbia - this one, part of the Columbia Ice Field in Alaska, and another one which is indeed part of both Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada. I admit I was taken aback as well when he started talking about Banff .... lol ...
I noticed it to. I watch these types of videos regularly and it seems like a lot of these UA-cam video guys that put together these educational videos are filled with a lot of incorrect information.
@@spenceisthebest1 Truer words have never been spoken! These guys are falling into the trap of getting their hypothesis' and facts mixed up. There's a lot of that going on nowadays.
The active glacier in Greenland is also the source of the iceberg that sank the Titanic. You missed the single largest calving that was caught on camera, it made the iceberg that was named Godzilla and was larger than the State of Rhode Island.
You were right about the glacier that’s located south for Ilulissat, Sermeq Kujalleq, but the video you were using is the one that is located 80km north for Ilulissat and it’s called Eqip Sermia (Eqi glacier). Sermeq Kujalleq is very difficult to get close to, so if you want to see it, the closest thing you can get to it is by helicopter.
If you really think about glaciers. They are not falling off into the water. They are already IN the water, when they break off you can see how much was under the water!! It’s beautiful blue color.
When it comes to "Columbia", you have your geography completely muddled up. The Columbia glacier in Alaska is NOT part of the Columbia ice field; in fact, it is nowhere near it. The Columbia ice field is in Alberta and British Columbia in Canada - it does not extend into Alaska, and none of its glaciers reach sea level, so obviously there will be no major calvings from them. How could you get things so wrong?
Even in the video, when they show the Columbia Ice Field from space-view, it is very apparent that it does not reach the ocean anywhere. As an European I am not particularly familiar with the geography of the region, but this contradiction caught my eye. And ironically this does not work as a simple mix-up of the glacier with the ice field either, because the ice field that supports the Columbia Glacier is not on the border of the two countries either, it is fully in Alaska.
5:23 Yeah no... That's not how area works. 5000 miles being around 8000 km doesn't make 5000 square miles about 8000 square km. It's actually more like 13000 square km...
Imagine the things that will wash ashore when the ice continues to melt and mix with oceans. That ice holds actual treasures from thousands of years ago....
It is not melting it is breaking off because it grows out too far to support its own weight. The bergs will melt as they move around the oceans. This is normal.
I was surprised at how dirty and ragged the surface of a glacier was when we landed on one from a helicopter in Alaska, yet how beautifully clear & blue the ice was below the surface. Watching the Columbia Glacier calve was something I will always remember, including the loud thunder-like sound as it happened.

I know I can't quite wrap my head around how massive these events are. I've been to some glaciers and hiked some, but many are on an incomprehensible scale. Fascinating shit
I do not understand the cheers and applause for what is essentially a death. These glaciers are thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years old. This is not only the death of the glaciers but ultimately the eventually death of our world as we know it. Yes, it is amazing to see and it is the most remarkable blue but a blue we would not see on a healthy glacier. It is almost like saying oh look at the amazing red of that arterial blood pumping out of that man whose arms was just chopped off. I cry for the losses of our planet.
Amazing video. 15:00 It is not just that the boat was far away enough. But the thing is that it's clearly on significantly deep water. Waves - especially the tsunami-kind ones (which is what they are) - tend to have a much smaller amplitude (hight) in deeper water, while having a much longer wavelength. If you look closely, you can actually see the waves coming, but it goes much more gradually. If there exists any other coast line behind the boat, the waves can still build up when approaching that coast while shortening in length (when the water depth decreases closer to that coast), and still cause a significant impact. In other words: it's completely possible that boats on the middle of deep water hardly notice anything while somewhere else effects are clearly noticable.
I greatly enjoyed and found this video very informative. Though there was one error while talking about the Columbia Glacier. There are two Columbia Glaciers that the narration indicated were the same one. There is the Columbia Glacier where this caving event took place in Alaska and the Columbia Icefield in Banff National Park in Alberta Canada which is 1269 miles or 2042 km away to the southeast. Though this error does not take away from the importance of highlighting the dangers of our crumbling glaciers are having on our planet.
Thank you! I came here to say this. I live in Alberta, not that far from the Columbia Icefield, but very, VERY far away from Alaska and the ocean where the Columbia Glacier was filmed. 😉
Ice calving at a sea terminus is something glaciers have been doing for millennia. I think if you actually look at the extent of the ice sheets and mass of glaciers is defying experts' predictions and holding up in spite of our fears. The North Pole was supposed to be ice-free by now. There's a lot of climate revisionism being pushed by the establishment, right now. I'm old enough to remember the '70s, when the same people were warning about catastrophic cooling and a new ice age just around the corner. While I'll agree with you that pollution is bad, I'm not sure this whole CO2 thing is driving climate change significantly, and a lot of the people who're pushing the doom and gloom want to sell you electric cars that require a lot of filthy lithium and cobalt mining that may be worse for humanity and the planet than too much plant food in the atmosphere. There've been a lot colder and a lot warmer times in Earth's geological past, and CO2 levels seem to have very little to do with it. We may even be helping green up the planet by releasing CO2 natural processes would otherwise lock away from plants in the Earth's crust.
@@harrymills2770 This global warming scam is just perfect for them...to just the normal person this seems so scary. We seem to know how things work, when we have only been on this planet for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of it's total age.
I was lucky enough to visit Patagonia a few years ago, including the Argentinian side of the glacier park. We walked across part of the Viedma glacier using crampons, and from the lake we saw some minor icebergs breaking away, but nothing like what you show here. I’d be interested to know what the rate of increase is.
Let's be clear, the heavy snow and compacted weight of the amount creates an iceberg. It has to be cold to snow and keep that snow cold enough to turn to ice. Because of the repeated accumulation of snowfall AND the additional amount of ice formed, the berg starts to move, pushed downhill by its immense weight. It eventually gets far enough away from it's polar region that it hits water. Water that is NOT frozen because of its LOCATION. THAT'S WHEN THE ICEBERG STARTS TO BREAK. It finally reaches water and the weight and boyancy causes it break off. It then floats out to sea where it stays a LARGE BLOCK OF ICE for months before it drifts far enough into warmer regions and melts. Don't believe me...ask anyone on the TITANIC. Keep all the global warming crap at home. If any of that bovine scatalogy were true, the ice would never form because the snow would melt too quickly.
The trillion dollar carbon tax brokerage crooks got their way. This is nothing more than racketeering at crime of the century scale. The scriptwriters for this ca ca are often well leveraged by these fraudsters.
Icebergs are chunks of glaciers. Glaciers are 30,000 to a million years old. That means they didn't melt away in all those eons, but NOW they are MELTING!! Do you really NOT SEE a problem here?
It's amazing to see the huge pieces floating to the surface.. Thank GOD the first video recorded the real sounds,, not some synthesizer track or someone screaming, "Oh my GOD!".
It's what they have been doing since Day One...melting, moving and shaping, hence canyons and mountain ranges, and through it all, mankind has survived. No one said they have to stay forever, and the smaller they get the faster the melt.
Especially thanks for letting the narration fall silent upon showing the dramatic events; makes the imagery so much more impressive.

Great video. Those icebergs coming out of the water are "straight out of a sci-fi movie". Incredible.

It is almost like saying oh look at the amazing red of that arterial blood pumping out of that man whose arms was just chopped off. I cry for the losses of our planet.
The world is always in change. And will always be
When the ice breaks off into the sea. It is not melting. It has been pushed into the Ocean by Ice accumulation.
So majestic and scary at the same time. Gives me great anxiety when a huge one rolls over
Echos of Submechanophobia with a dash of Megalophobia for me😬
Amazing video.
15:00 It is not just that the boat was far away enough. But the thing is that it's clearly on significantly deep water. Waves - especially the tsunami-kind ones (which is what they are) - tend to have a much smaller amplitude (hight) in deeper water, while having a much longer wavelength.
If you look closely, you can actually see the waves coming, but it goes much more gradually.
If there exists any other coast line behind the boat, the waves can still build up when approaching that coast while shortening in length (when the water depth decreases closer to that coast), and still cause a significant impact.
In other words: it's completely possible that boats on the middle of deep water hardly notice anything while somewhere else effects are clearly noticable.
……never seen ice go that shade of blue before……. Beautiful
Absolutely fascinating
It show us how alive the earth is❤
A lot of these remind me of giant whales breaching.
Sea ice extent is growing in Antarctica. In fact, it's recently broken a record for maximum extent. Jun 2, 2021"
Facts!
You should be more worried about the arctic ice
Amazing but very sad 😥
You are being manipulated by the corrupt.
I dig the narration and voice over. Very professional.
I greatly enjoyed and found this video very informative. Though there was one error while talking about the Columbia Glacier. There are two Columbia Glaciers that the narration indicated were the same one. There is the Columbia Glacier where this caving event took place in Alaska and the Columbia Icefield in Banff National Park in Alberta Canada which is 1269 miles or 2042 km away to the southeast. Though this error does not take away from the importance of highlighting the dangers of our crumbling glaciers are having on our planet.
Thank you! I came here to say this. I live in Alberta, not that far from the Columbia Icefield, but very, VERY far away from Alaska and the ocean where the Columbia Glacier was filmed. 😉
Ice calving at a sea terminus is something glaciers have been doing for millennia. I think if you actually look at the extent of the ice sheets and mass of glaciers is defying experts' predictions and holding up in spite of our fears. The North Pole was supposed to be ice-free by now. There's a lot of climate revisionism being pushed by the establishment, right now. I'm old enough to remember the '70s, when the same people were warning about catastrophic cooling and a new ice age just around the corner.
While I'll agree with you that pollution is bad, I'm not sure this whole CO2 thing is driving climate change significantly, and a lot of the people who're pushing the doom and gloom want to sell you electric cars that require a lot of filthy lithium and cobalt mining that may be worse for humanity and the planet than too much plant food in the atmosphere. There've been a lot colder and a lot warmer times in Earth's geological past, and CO2 levels seem to have very little to do with it. We may even be helping green up the planet by releasing CO2 natural processes would otherwise lock away from plants in the Earth's crust.
Don't worry there's more snow falling up on high ground replacing what breaks of annually. No one talks about that though.
@@harrymills2770 This global warming scam is just perfect for them...to just the normal person this seems so scary. We seem to know how things work, when we have only been on this planet for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of it's total age.

I was lucky enough to visit Patagonia a few years ago, including the Argentinian side of the glacier park. We walked across part of the Viedma glacier using crampons, and from the lake we saw some minor icebergs breaking away, but nothing like what you show here. I’d be interested to know what the rate of increase is.
Kudos for making a creditable attempt at the place names. Were that all content makers here so scrupulous.
Another great reason why we need to speed up global warming ! Can you imagine the great videos we are going to see ? 🔥🔥🌪️☄️☀️
WOW! Beautiful when they roll over and the blue ice becomes visible.
This is excellent documentation tks
It cracks me up, people spend all their time recording and taking pictures instead of actually marveling at the moment.
You know you can do both right? Go touch grass.
That ice looks like a huge popsicle
Let's be clear, the heavy snow and compacted weight of the amount creates an iceberg. It has to be cold to snow and keep that snow cold enough to turn to ice. Because of the repeated accumulation of snowfall AND the additional amount of ice formed, the berg starts to move, pushed downhill by its immense weight. It eventually gets far enough away from it's polar region that it hits water. Water that is NOT frozen because of its LOCATION. THAT'S WHEN THE ICEBERG STARTS TO BREAK. It finally reaches water and the weight and boyancy causes it break off. It then floats out to sea where it stays a LARGE BLOCK OF ICE for months before it drifts far enough into warmer regions and melts. Don't believe me...ask anyone on the TITANIC.
Keep all the global warming crap at home. If any of that bovine scatalogy were true, the ice would never form because the snow would melt too quickly.
Dude shut up. Learn more chemistry and climate science before calling climate change bs.
Right on! love the bovine scatalogy
The trillion dollar carbon tax brokerage crooks got their way. This is nothing more than racketeering at crime of the century scale. The scriptwriters for this ca ca are often well leveraged by these fraudsters.
Here here 100%
Icebergs are chunks of glaciers. Glaciers are 30,000 to a million years old. That means they didn't melt away in all those eons, but NOW they are MELTING!! Do you really NOT SEE a problem here?
It's amazing to see the huge pieces floating to the surface..
Thank GOD the first video recorded the real sounds,, not some synthesizer track or someone screaming, "Oh my GOD!".
, that was a good video thank you
do a video on the glaciers in america that are growing so fast that lives are in danger
It's what they have been doing since Day One...melting, moving and shaping, hence canyons and mountain ranges, and through it all, mankind has survived. No one said they have to stay forever, and the smaller they get the faster the melt.
Day one 6000years ago? 😊🙄
