CALVING GLACIERS Jakobshavn & Eqi Glaciers Greenland
Calving Glaciers (Greenland)
HD 1080p
Reel Duration: 9’38”
2013
The sudden breaking off of massive ice chunks from the edge of a glacier is an extraordinary sight. In our time of global warning, it is also an alarming one: a clear indication that we are heating up the planet at an alarming rate. Here are views of the Eqi Glacier in West Greenland, the most frequently calving glacier, as well as aerial views of the Jakobshavn glacier, one of the fastest shrinking glaciers and the most productive of icebergs in the world.
This massive chunk of ice covering Greenland, the biggest island on the planet, accounts for around 10 percent of the frozen freshwater on Earth. If all that were to melt, it could raise global sea levels more than 20 feet.

Mr. Morell - Thanks for this excellent video. Especially pleased that there were no annoying screaming people to diminish the powerful sounds of Mother Nature. Everyone's a critic, including me. The music to my mind didn't add to the experience, except in the quieter overflight sections (it's all subjective isn't it?) and the Golden Rabbit logo, though discreet, was distracting. Even so, this was almost ten minutes of pure awesomeness - as the kids might say - that few of us will get the opportunity to experience. So for that, Again, Thanks. F.
I am lucky enough to live in Alaska, work and see this daily all summer! Priceless!
Nice job...GREAT SOUND TRACK
I love the sounds the glacier makes (and not the people screaming). Very comforting....
One of the best calving edits ive seen. Great job man. Thank you.
This was amazing. Thank You for sharing.
Music is so much more easier to listen to than people screeching.
The sound alone makes my spine tingle let alone the sight of natures enormity
Stunning! Thank you.
When pieces fall off of cows is it called glaciering? 🤨
It would be amazing to see what is going on underneath the glacier
Well done.
MAGNÍFICO
Film quality great! Sound excellent! Judging the size of the calving glaciers solely by the splash of said behemoths....impossible!
just a small carving weigh in about 5tons so I can’t imagine the big ones weighs! heavier than a group of full grown humpback whale I’m sure!
It's own kind of thunder.
Love the video, but lettering across the screen is distracting. Like the fact the the glacier sounds are clear with no 'oh my god' or 'holy crap' Thanks for a great film.
My music teacher had pictures on the wall like these, above the piano. Mrs Day, her friend, whose husband went with Scott to the South Pole, took them.
Yeah nature is the canvas....too ....the best reflection of ourselves with thunder and music . Emotion is just human. Thank you for our comment.
Day and night from the middle of spring to middle of fall.the polar ice and glaciers kip falling appart. Is unquieting.
Природу ни чем нельзя остановить !Страшновато !!! Баку.
No human voices!
Sounds like thunder.
Tammy Sublett That’s funny I said the same thing. The seven videos that I had watched before this one. Is when I said it sounds like thunder. and we both have the same first name
Birds are symbol life there
That Glacier has grown of about 20 miles if that is Jakobsfjord Glacier.
It is the EQI glacier. Fastest calving glacier. West Greenland.
Спасибо за это видео Благодарю!!!
Спасибо, Владимир!
Looks like a golden rabbit film, by golden rabbit films. No many people know that.
What amazing. footage!!! Hats of ser.greetings from greece ps the music " fix like a glove" stay safe
Where the birds flaying..... They no the place.
A machine that makes ice and produce coldness can stop the glaciers from melting and make them bigger.
Yes and who would pay for this giant machine to make ice?
The letters are a bit distracting
sorry ...this was a while ago ...production was after me.....unless I bring a million hits....patrickmorell.com/works/environment/
I love it when the person filming zooms in so you can only see that one tiny little spot when there is heavy activity for hundreds of yards in either direction! 🤬 Come on man!
???
Hasta ke ví un vídeo de los glaciares y no oí gente gritar.
does this happen under normal conditions or is it due to global warming
The fast pace of ice melting today is caused by warmer weather. Warmer seas mostly due to climate change (Warmer/ extremes)
Normal. Earth you see today was changed by that millions of years ago. North America northern part was covered by glaciers.
It's global warming. Not CO2. Normal cycles. Still coming our of the little ice age. Look up Capt Cook and glacier Bay. The Glacier was retreating long before SUVs.
Pristine until man
White is converting
Why do you guys not show us the whole effect of it. I understand you want to be different compared to everyone else, but your audience losses out on so much! Bummer
Great video,but too bad for the fake sound,especially around 05:40..
There is no fake sound....it is all real....(yes it sounds like a war zone)
To bad all that fresh water from the glaciers has to wash into the ocean. If it was pumped into tanker ships, an delivered to Desert Climates where it could be literally pumped onto the land ( a reasonable distance from the ocean) the water would be filtered via the sand an increase the water table of the area. A more ' out of the box ' idea ...... since most of the Artic is open water sailing to South Western USA could possibly benefit southern California, Mexico, parts of South America. Or the middle east via the Suez canal an Northern Africa via the Mediterranean. May give some motivation to governments to spend money on water than military build up,,increase water tables maybe grow more food. Possibly the Southern Hemisphere could benefit from the Antarctica melting in a similar fashion, maybe instead of giant war ships,,,make Giant Tugboats an push multi square mile icebergs to Australia, India western Africa etc. Layered ice is a lot harder an seemingly alot heavier than man made ice. One more idea..... if a very large iceberg was pushed into a path of hurricane or typhoon would that help reduce the storms strength. These are just ideas,,I came up with watching all that ice an fresh water heading out to sea. Pretty soon all the money in the world won't make a difference after it's to late an ocean levels are to high an desalinization an rebuilding citys an infrastructure itself. Just an idea R. Everett Fadden
Have you ever watched the movie Brewster’s Millions. They thought about moving the ice for that very purpose.
@@SpaceCadet2569 never heard of or seen that film I'll have to check it out. Thank You very much for mentioning it.
I really liked this, thank you BUT..... for me the words across the screen proved to be annoying. The action was taking place and the words were moving with the camera so this was difficult for me. Hard to explain..... I had a stroke 2yrs ago and I’ve been left with vertigo and some dizziness caused by visual stimuli.... have had to give up driving because of all that. I did love the film , as another commenter said.... “no screaming” and also I noticed no “Holy crapping”! I going to watch it again and try and ‘out focus’ the Golden bunny.
yes I know. the production did it. or wanted to do it. I suppose the film was still new then. better here.patrickmorell.com/works/environment/
😃
The thing is when all the glaciers melt half of the united states be under water
But the real thing is also: It's is not gona happen.
Ich hasse diese Logo Einblendungen!
Ruined the enjoyment of the video with the faint lettering across the middle of the screen. Very distracting.
I know.....This was the call at the time to protect the work...but the letters are more subtle. Thanks for your comment.
patrickmorell.com/works/environment/
you zoom in too much
C’est la vie
Why replace the natural sounds with stupid music🤬🤬🤬🤬
Negative.Negative. I am sorry for you you don't like music.
How I love people who have nothing to offer but still judge artists with negative comments!
Instead of annoying screaming people, you have annoying background music!
What is annoying is people complaining all the time. If you don't like the music, you don't like the music. There are plenty of calving glaciers on youtube without music.
I think what is really annoying is people complaining all the time. I have noticed on this thread, usually these are people who have nothing to offer but annoying complains...
another alarmist that thinks all glaciers on earth are gonna melt due to climate change.
Alarmist? Yes . It is likely that most glaciers in the arctic will melt by 2050 increasing higher sea levels, droughts and floods. The world has changed since Cleopatra .
I am more “alarmed” of people “thinking” like you
