Iceberg crashing in Diskobay, Northwestgreenland The crash is starting slowly, with many smaller parts coming down, the size of the bits falling is increasing and finally ends up in a big burst, like an explosion
To actually be there at the exact time must have been a tremendous feeling, the noise on the video was loud, it must have been incredible to actually hear it from the cameraman's position. Fabulous,
That was incredible. What was more adrenaline pumping was how you guys did't seem to be at all worried about the tsunami about to head in your direction - until almost the last moment !
The fact that these types of glaciers have been around for as long as they have is incredible. And to capture it is once in a lifetime, literally lol. Great capture!
What were you expecting? She/he was really close from the event and that massive amounts of ice were creating a mega-tsunami ready to sink her/his boat lol
I am always amazed at how slow they move, yet contain so much raw force. Excellent call on moving your boat! I was saying "move, move, move" right before you reacted. lol
2:10 when the ice bridge collapsed you can see the face on the right close an eye as if the bridge was it's lifeline. Very lucky to film it or no one would believe it.
Awesome. Sorry you had to not film the big crash, just to save your life :D. I actually found the smaller drops just as awesome and moving as the big ones. Thank you for not zooming and just keeping the camera steady, letting us see a wonderful event.
no, it ends there because we did not feel safe anymore and turned arround the boat away from the iceberg...no time for filming then with only 2 people onboard... so we left something for your fantasy ;)
dean nelson Hey! Come on! Lay off the dude, man! What if you'd been in his shoes? Wouldn't you have moved? Not to be mean or anything, but I'd be willing to bet that if it'd been you, you'd of done the same thing:you'd of moved! I agree that they should have set up at a safer distance, but ya ain't gotta go cussing and ranting at the man. We all make mistakes! Be a little kinder in your comments. After all, again, what if it'd been you? Wouldn't you have moved? Yeah...you would've. So would I!
No that is as flat-out idiotic! If you don't have the functional ability to take a look at your present environment and realize there might be a danger of an obviously collapsing Iceberg and move to a safe distance before it actually collapses you just stupid! So I having been feeling safe enough to start this video filming where he did I wouldn't have moved because I would have already factored in the damn things about to collapse. It's sort of like filming a tsunami I'm not going to film it from freaking sea level I'll start filming it from wherever it is I feel safe and so if I was shooting this video I would clearly be at a distance that I felt safe at so once again I would not have moved.
dean nelson I said it before,cand I'll say it again:I agree with you on the point that they should have been at a safer distance, in case something like this happens. All I'm asking is that you not curse the guys for being too close. We all make mistakes, right?
Even though its to bad the video was cut right at the finish line , I must say it was a real treat to watch a steady hand with the camera recording nature doing its thing , without all ''THE IDIOTS'' in the back ground yelling , screaming & whistling as if they're at a rock concert . Well done video clip Polarissail
Considering the the delay of sound from the time the chunks hit the water to when it can be heard and the loudness of the crashing, I dont think the scale of this massive iceberg can truly be appreciated..
Great capture. Thanks for sharing this. Finally a video with decent sound no people cheering. Interesting that we hear the loud crack at 1:52 just before we see it. It should be the other way around unless it cracks inside a few seconds before it falls.
I agree .. I can't stand being on boats or tours with loud, cheering idiots - and screaming women yelling, "Oh maaaa Gard, oh maaa Gard". I look at the way they behave and feel sick. Why can't they appreciate the majesty of nature in silence? They have no idea how some of us feel ... we paid the same amount of money to witness the same things, but when I booked our tickets I had a different, much more silent picture of how the experience would unfold for us. And it happened again just last week whilst whale watching Humpbacks .... I could have put a fist through one screaming woman's nose ... she just didn't have a filter or know when to stop! For 4 and a half hours she just went on and on at the top of her voice - but at hour 4 I suddenly remembered that I had nice squishy ear plugs in my handbag from the moto drag races the weekend before .. I didn't take my eyes off her as she watch me open the package and fit them in my ears, LOL. But she STILL just kept on going!! : ( I just like quiet beauty ... just like this. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm going to watch it again, and again. And AGAIN. In perfect silence!! XX
@@pmac1951 Exactly, P. McG! Do they think we didn't just witness the same majesty of nature they just did? Only WE didn't hear it, because THEY won't shut up! "O my gard - did you see that? Did you SEE that?" Well unless I'm tappiing around with a cane and black glasses because I'm a blind person... OF COURSE I DID! It almost (and I reiterate the word, "ALMOST") am grateful for CoVid because whale-watching tours are cancelled for this year - because I go every yesr. And every year our cruise is ruined by someone just like this. No brain, and absolutely no filteri LOVRD this video! Thank you so much for your kind comment - a gasp is all that's required. XX Bless you!
Something about these videos makes me feel sad. I think of a time in future when people will look back at these and feel sad for all that we have lost.
@@timpike1616 perhaps, but what we do know is that now it is moving into an irreversible direction, and that nature the way our ancestors have known it for thousands of years will no longer be there, whether it's global warming or just destruction of natural resources and the habitat. That is not something ambiguous or a feeling, that is basic fact.
@@svcodemonkey the world is not ending, no, but your world and my world is ending, some of us see it, some of us don't. I envy and loathe those who don't.
Very, very spectacular right near the end, when that whole Arc between the 2 icebergs gives way, and collapses into the water! When that happened, though, did you really have to panic, and end up moving around so much? Were you afraid that you might encounter an ice tsunami? Just curious. If that was the case, I understand that you didn't want to be hurt or whatever. Still, besides all that, great video!
I assume this playback is at real speed. If so, the camera boat was seriously close to the action based on the elapsed time between splashdown for some of those chunks, and the sound's transit time. Roughly a thousand feet (300m). But, I doubt this was the boat captain's first collapsing iceberg.
@@sirziokunan5014 - First of all - learn to spell. Second - don't believe the lie about climate change being real. This is simply God revealing His glorious creation.
@@chrispile3878 don't wanna respond to a people like, but i liked to tell you that i speek 7 languages, and it a feeling that you cant feel your whole life. I believe im god but i believe either that climate change comes from human not from God.
@@sirziokunan5014 - Yeah, right - seven languages - but not English. Again I tell you, don't believe the lie about human-caused global warming. We don't have that kind of power. We are arrogant enough to think we are.
This is amazing, beautiful and sad at the same time, would you be ok with me using part of this footage for a video about climate change I'm making from my home in Brisbane, Australia?
