GoPro: To Climb An Iceberg in 4K 

I've climbed a few icebergs in the past and took the time to study them for years before attempting the climbs. The broken halo of ice around the first iceberg was a clear indicator that this iceberg is very very unstable. An iceberg center of gravity is always pointed straight down. The halo of ice is created by chips or large chunks of ice breaking off. This could be because the iceberg is hitting a submerged rock shelf or the water temperature is warming up very quickly causing the ice to pop. The larger the temperature gradient between the water and iceberg the more it will breakup, pop or explode. On their second iceberg they were holding onto the boat and getting on it with an single axe. That was very bad form and extremely dangerous. In the waters that I climbed in the waves were large and the possibility of falling between the boat and the iceberg was very high. A boat would easily crush a person. On the third iceberg they made another bad choice. The large chunk breaking off would change the center of gravity, thus the iceberg could roll at any moment. This is quite a bad risk to take for the boat and its crew. Climbing underneath one another is also really bad for ice climbing in general, but even worse for icebergs. This ice is the result of 15,000 years of compressed snow. It's extremely dense. Over those thousands of years, the compression has squeezed out all of the air bubbles making the ice highly susceptible to dinner-plating. I once had a dinner plate that was larger than my entire body on an iceberg. If you're planning on doing this and have more questions please feel free to drop me a line. I'd rather share my knowledge to help others do something extremely dangerous more safely. Our story. vimeo.com/35118137?fbclid=IwAR3hv6ushZ296TMzhido5bhmEQRkKkd5wjENsj_FYM-61YL_fo4dd-d35UE

We were climbing ice bergs in the Dundas, Greenland area in 1981. We found it best to climb during the winter when the bregs were stuck fast in the pack ice. I saw seven foot face waves (Hawaiian Measurement) when they rolled. Surfed a couple n my kayak. Wish that I had GoPro then. Great video, though.

Video of the Day! Hop aboard La Louise as we venture through the arctic waters of Greenland's Disko Bay in search for the ultimate iceberg to summit with professional ice climbers Klemen Premrl and Aljaz Anderle.

Iv been watching GoPro videos for hours

When I climb an iceberg I always do it in 4k.

I think you just sold a few more cameras with this movie. WOW.

Фантастические виды! ОЧЕНЬ красиво! Безукоризненно белый лед, синее море, бескрайние просторы и тишина... Дух захватывает!

*Breaks Over Roach, Let's Go*

Icebergs are like our grandparents, we have to enjoy them while we can because they'll be gone before we know it.

Really hit me when he took a look at a picture of his kids before setting out to climb.

4:17 Oh my god. Pure cinematic look :)

This was intense. And that just watching! Can't imagine what they felt like.

6:20 is a head

Omg how he looked at his kids picture before climbing the iceberg💕💕☺️ Keep doing what you are doing and good luck!

One of the best made videos i have ever seen. Watched about 3 times so far.

The story of life is embedded in this beautiful video; goals, ways to success, trust, value of time, living in present, persistence and hard work, failures, life satisfactions, attention to nature and our creator are all here...

4:04 moment "Bravery and stupidity are separated by a fine line when it comes to doing what no one has ever done before. The idiot rushes in. The brave one knows when to rush and when to stop."

proud to be a slovenian!

Great vid, kept me on the edge of my seat. Just so volatile & precarious to climb on icebergs... thank goodness for adventurers, who bring us thrills & chills.

wow, one of the greatest clips i have seen in a while, my biggest respect for those 2 climbers

Vidva sta carja, vse kar sta rekla omenila ter storila. Ne vem ali je video za gopro ali za izginjajoče se ledene gore. Vaš posnetek je tudi edini slovenski, ki sem ga videl kot reklamo pred originalnim posnetkom. BRAVO!

tomb raider made it look so easy...

Nice to see Slovenia on the GoPro channel!

This definitely the most intense GoPro vid I've watched like every second could be their last. Well done to both of them very brave.

Super video. Super experience. Very beautiful pictures. Very nice boat. Thank you.

So um how did they get down?

Absolutely breathtaking video. The story, the environment, the cinematography! A completely amazing video guys, great work all around!

Definitely best of the 4K serie. This video is stunning.

For all : Music at 10:40 Additional Music Courtesy of ExtremeMusic DARK ON DEMAND - EPIC INDUSTRIAL

I hope none of my friends ever get interested in doing something as insane as iceberg climbing... O_o #fb

One of the best GoPro videos out there.

Watching videos like this, gives me hope.

D-W-S, только по зимнему :) Превосходно! Опасно и невероятно красиво, но адреналин заставляет покорить эту вершину, которая через некоторое время превратиться в пустоту. Они единственные побывали там - это действительно круто.

Damn this 4K wide shoots are insane, I will buy a new GoPro when the shoot in 60fps 4K definitely.

I understand what drives these guys. I'm currently training to run up and back down the tallest mountain in my region. But what these guys did is just crazy. Kudos to them for pulling it off though.

I salute you guys for sticking to your goals and achieving them! Amazing!

Fak ... slovenca sta naredila tak dober video? En ta boljših posnet z GoPro kamero. :)

The fact that a lot of comment set that the ice of the iceberg is falling because of the climbers and this action causes the global warming to accelerate, really scares me a lot more than these guys doing this really cool climb.

I gotta say I was floored at 1:22 when I saw the fly over of the small town in Greenland. I was watching it on my sony 55"w800b tv on a PS4 youtube app calibrated with the disney WOW disk on a 6mb down connection. I would argue that this video made my tv look better than any 4k stuff I've seen in the store. Thanks it was a really neat video.

Those 2 guys are slovene. Thanks for supporting our country GoPro!

THIS FILM SHOULD TAKE OSCAR AWARD

охотники за айсбергами))) красота Гренландии захватывает дух

Wow..we must appriciate the climbers . They have given real adventure claimbing ice mountains.

a trip like this is the best choice of adventure

and that just the tip of the ice berg ;)

Čestitke fanta! Lepo videt tud kakšne slovence na tem kanalu :D

30 second clips of awesome action sports. 13 minute video of climbing icebergs... nice

This video is bloody inspirational I tell you

Why are they wearing a harness with icescrews, quickdraws and a belay device if they don't have a rope? and also... they must have downclimbed from the summit since they didn't have a rope... but then why bring all that stuff with you? i know almost nothing about ice climbing but a harness is pretty useless if you don't have nothing to tie it into. Does someone have any idea?

Super projekt, odlično posneto in zmontirano. Prekrasni posnetki. Bravo!

A very beautiful place to play dont die out there. Wild wild climbing. What a rush .

So scary.... watching d video gave me goosebumps.... how u people did dat.... man... its really v.v v . Adventrous amd daring activity.... hats off to ur passion... I loved the msg... thanks for d video

dobr video slovenca 👍👍

now i kinda want to climb an iceberg too XD true story

Very brave men,Ice bergs are majestic and beautiful 😋🌺👍☃️

This is AMAZING. I have a lot of respect for those men, very brave and unique what they're doing. Made me set a goal to one day climb an iceberg. Sick as always gopro!!!

I've gotten so USED TO 2 MiNUTE GoPro CLiPS.

Thanks again GoPro for showing me how boring my life is.

This was an ad on another video I was watching and I watched the whole video, so interesting I had no idea iceberg climbing was an actual kind of sport. Just subscribed to the GoPro channel love it!

Danger and beautiful JOB. Respect from Azerbaijan.

Больше всего мне интересно, как они слезали оттуда?///As they climbed down from there?

what language are they speaking?

How beautiful mother nature is awesome these guys love what they are doing it's exciting adventures and to be so close to mother nature another awesome video go pro

My legs feel wobbly just watching this crazy viewpoint.

Break's over roach, let's go!

GO SLOVENIA!!!

One of the best GO PRO videos!!

Oh EM GEE! This video was created like a piece of art!

Reminds me of that one mission in COD. Sorry...

I really hate that new sound RU-vid makes when you like a comment !

I don't see them having not even the slightest effect on Global warming, melting Icebergs, rising see-level or the other stuff people talk here about... If the icebergs are so fragile as shown they would have fallen apart in few days anyway - in fact you can see the video that there are crashing icebergs all over the place. For me all I see is a beautiful video and extraordinary people, who have my respect! Apropos: GoPro, please upload more of these long videos, all of them were pretty much pure gold so far =).

Beautifully crafted CGI ... Very nice work indeed

imagine one of the falling to the water. Probably 8 gopro with The Frame ( Non waterproof case) to the water 5:47

i might be heading down a "slippery slope" (no pun intended), but does climbing these icebergs not break the iceberg? do these breakings not put a direct cause to the sea levels rising? just a thought...

This the best gopro video I've ever seen, nevertheless best of the 4k series.

Truly, off the charts extreme

What is the last Music it's so good! if somebody now it please tell me :D

What is the song on 10:40?? Does anyone know???

PHENOMENAL!!!! THIS NEEDS TO WIN AN AWARD!!!!!!!!

Amazing picture clarity

можно название трека с 12:48 !!!! tell me the name of the music from 12:48 !!!!

Whats the amazing soundtrack in 11:08???

high skilled editing turns a video into a movie

I am glad for them... because they did not die... the iceberg and landscape looks awesome !!!! But in fact it is dangerous

they are from slovene like me this is a slovene language

Why have the go pro on the helm no Case on?

I watch this silently, with the voice in my head swearing constantly. Great video :)

O-m-g...So beautiful and Amazing, the video was extremely clear, and so was their determination to succeed this goal. I teared up at the end, this was Incredible. 😂

Slovenian climbers ;) juhej :)

Rise of the Tomb Raider anyone??

this video is so great ,the nature is so beautiful

comme si on y était . vertigineux comme vidéo . j' en veux encore plus

im only watching cause I'm on acid

Вот это я называю "Не чем заняться" !!!)

Wow I got very worried for those climbers so I HAD to watch the whole thing! It looked so cool

Damn this channel is awesome! This video is one of the best along with the magma core of the volcano! Lot of emotions watching these videos, very great jobs from GoPro team

thats bloody crazy! i think is one of the most dangerous things that the human being can do. Well done boys

Seriously remarkable what Human Beings do to obtain their aspirations & goals in life!!! Bravo!!

The sound of them climbing is kind of addicting =) That ice though.............. damn. Absolutely stunning vids.

The videos that GoPro make now are so much better..
