Massive Ice Calving at Aialik Glacier - Alaska May 2022 

Nature gives us some of the greatest shows on earth, and admission is free.

Very well done! Holding camera steady? ✅ no frantic zooming in and out? ✅ no frantic panning side to side? ✅ and most importantly, NO screaming ohhh and ahhh? ✅✅✅ What a beautiful glacier and phenomenal calving. I really really want to go back, it’s been about 21 years.

THANK YOU for holding the camera still!

I was lucky enough to see this glacier almost daily for work! What’s also awesome is the sights you see just getting out there from Seward! No place like Alaska, simple!😉👍

Life is all about timing and this was perfect timing. Incredible video

Crystal clear picture quality.

Wow! Amazing! Thank you so much! Truly…🕊

wonderfully mesmerizing footage. Thank you for not zooming in/out like a rookie!!

Wow awesome, thank you so much for sharing.

Oh wow, this is so beautiful. I have always wanted to visit Alaska, please share more. Thank you for letting us see Alaska through your eyes💗.

Beautiful!

Right On thanks

Beautiful filming!

That is the most gorgeous shade of blue I've ever seen 💦💙🌎💙

Yup. That's what icebergs do. They melt and then rebuild themselves. A natural process of this planet.

What a catch!

Awesome video.

Can you hear the terrifying sounds of ice cracking at 0:56... This literally sends shivers down my spine

Wahouououou merci pour le partage 👍👍👍

Fantastic camera man and a beautiful sight to see

Hi, you may thank gravity for this outstanding performance!!!

Very cool footage! 👍👍

So that's where crushed ice comes from.

Beautiful

Surfs up!

Patience pays dividends. Spectacular and entertaining video of glacier calving. Thank you willplay1a.

Great camera work.

There is so much history in there.

Wow!

Гениально❤

Very cool...yet so scary too

I cann't think anything How i can life there So beautiful place,but... 🙋🐈‍⬛❣️

💔This hurts my soul!

massive is something else!

This is an awesome video wow 👌

Excellent video. But the title was a bit clickbait-ish!

How about dragging these glaciers to hot regions like the coast of California/USA?

A la gente le párese divertido ver ese desprendimiento del hielo pero a raíz de eso están subiendo los niveles en los mares además que se descubre elnpemafros que contiene metano y es más contaminante del planeta. La gente se ríe pero no se da cuenta que está viendo los resultados d su propia destrucción ..

Golly Bob Howdy! Gee willickers!

What a beautiful video, thank you for that

Heat Wave in UK today!

É uno spettacolo drammatico :-(

En el 134 más que crujir .parece .sonido de un arma alto calibre.👽

Do you have a longer clip ?

Sesuatu pemdangan yang bagus.tapi menyedihkan karena es berjatuhan karena efek suhu bumi yang makin panas

Bonito e triste ao mesmo tempo. ( Aqui Brasil )

That was like waiting at the coin push machine for the big one.

Maailma tuhotuu jää markkinoilla paljon 30 vuofessa

Parabéns muito bom mesmo Deus abecoi asu vida amei todos escritos amei 🤔😲😃🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍

Quelle tristesse 😓😥

YAWN!!!!!!

Man would have been so much more amazing if the boat captain would have been closer. Which I have seen them do.

The fools who don't know when to be quiet ruin it for the others. It's a whole different experience with out the noise and swearing.

Thank you for not screaming like a little girl.

glaciers calve because they are growing glaciers grow until they hit the sea, then they break off and become icebergs this is a sign of global cooling, not global warming

Doesn't start falling til 2:40 🤣

Вот почему везде в мире наводнения!

Skip to 2:36

How did they know exactly where it's going to happen Ö.ö

Call it what you need, it's melting

ВЫ СМОТРИТЕ ПОСЛЕДНИЕ ГОДЫ ЖИЗНИ ЗЕМЛИ....ИДЕТ ЕЕ РАСПАД....

Hello willplay1a, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix

Menschen sind merkwürdig.

Americans acting as if they’re watching football

Amazing? Don't you think that is terrible?

😥

Probably due to the vibration of the boats engine/s.

Nice camera work. It just didn't seem that massive.

Cheering on the end of humanity.

go in that ice cave lol

🦕 Dinosaur 💧 water.

Its ice breaking...

You might be on to something = maybe the boats cause them

Omg it increased the sea level

that was not Calving....that was simply a collapse

Someone needs to learn the definition of "massive".

Consequences are not written about here. Tragic loss of thinking.

If that's the best language he can use to describe that event, it's wasted on them.

AAAAHHHHHhhhhhh! The Earth is dying.... Man is DESTROOooying ittttt. You KARENs are a sad lot. Glaciers are NEVER static... they either AE growing or ARE retreating. Calving IS FOREVER a part of that cycle.

Страшно😢

The only ice cold glacier I ever climbed was my ex-wife

This seems to happen a lot when tourist boats are near by. I think these people might be the problem

Time Stamps - (PLEASE consider subscribing ! if I can get to 1,000 subscribers I can monetize my channel and that would mean a lot for me financially. Help me pay for college ! Thank you so much to everyone who's subscribed allready!) There is glacial calving occuring the entire length of the video, however the really massive calving event begins at about 2:35 and lasts the rest of the video. also notable at 2:00 a chunk of ice suddenly rises from beneath the water - kind of cool For size reference, the face of this glacier is more than 300 feet high.

We bore, with dynamite into our mountains we distroy our habitat, land, rivers and streams, we train, ship, rock to Japan, they train, ship it back a car to rust on top of our mountains.

“The ice is breaking” Holling Vincouer Northern Exposure

Don't worry folks the experts at CNN say that climate change will be back next summer.

We must be united to save us from the many many kind of Natural and sky disaster because it can eliminate human existence and there are no any police , court or jail for it 😭😭😭😭

Why are some folks saying yeeees! Not a good to see calving.

It can't take that much luck to see calving like this when on a ship with a large fossile engine producing vibrations.

Dude you should learn the meaning of massive that wasn't massive at all have seen better

This cannot be a good thing. Isn't this part of what will make coastal areas uninhabitable due to sea level rise?

This is nothing new

🤷‍♂️now we are going to start a continuous stream of our coal to China until we run out! We will probably wash it here first to be polite.

That's global warming in action 😔

Remember everyone if we didn’t have global warming, we would be in the Ice Age from 14,000 years ago. However luckily it got warmer and the ice melted.

The United Nations recently celebrated the International Mother Earth Day as a reminder to protect the environment. Heat waves, droughts, fires and heavy rains that cause severe flooding have become more frequent in many parts of the world due to climate change, which affects the entire worldwide population. The Earth is facing a “triple planetary crisis,” warn UN officials. Climate disruption, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste are the main areas of concern regarding the current state of the environment. This year, the Earth Day’s theme is “Invest In Our Planet,” so what would humanity's best investment for the planet be? We need to start by cleaning up the planet. There is no place on Earth where the air and water are clean, and that's a real problem. In theory, tackling this issue should be our priority when it comes to taking action to improve the dismal state of our planet. But let’s not fool ourselves. Such a plan alone will solve nothing. It will only help the international organizations to justify their own existence. They tick off "done" to raise as much money as they want, and that's it. If we do not improve relations between us, we will not be able to achieve the great and ambitious improvement in nature that we want and need to attain globally. We will never achieve a good result through bureaucratic, mechanical measures. There are a lot of people sitting in their comfortable offices profiting from the environmental crisis and demanding money and respect. They keep flying from one end of the world to the other on all kinds of missions to make a lot of noise with what they are "doing" and which everyone "needs to hear" as if that alone means something is happening, but in practice we see no real progress. The Earth must also be cleansed of them, of these people who engage in useless campaigns that only cause harm because they mislead the world, leading it away from the real solution. The cleaning of the planet should start inside out. If we do not clean the planet from within, and continue with our reckless behavior and the selfish nature of our hearts as before, nothing will change for the better. The immense sums invested in environmental initiatives should be directed to spreading an educational process aimed at improving the way we relate to each other. Humans are the most developed and influential factors of all of nature's levels: still, vegetative, animate and human. Since we occupy the highest level in nature, positively affecting the environment, the climate, and nature in general can be achieved by reaching positive relations among us. On the contrary, by letting our divisive drives tear apart human relations, we also destroy our surrounding environment, the very nature that our lives depend on. The more we humans are able to correct ourselves by changing our divisive attitudes toward each other into positive attitudes of mutual support, encouragement, mutual responsibility, and reciprocal concern, the more we will receive positive feedback from nature. And the more we develop without making this necessary correction, the more negative feedback we will receive from nature, as we have experienced in the form of natural disasters, pandemics. It is of utmost importance for us to organize our thoughts, desires and qualities so that we understand that saving the environment and a shift to a better future depend solely on changing our attitudes to each other: from antagonistic egoism to positive, compassionate and cooperative relationships.

cheering for something being lost that will never be rebuilt. its sad that this has become the tourism destination that it is. we as humans need to do better.

Global warming. My left foot.

I bet you can go there at any given time and see this happen to one part or another. Our Glaciers are vanishing so subtly, yet consistently, to regular Joe's like myself, but not to scientists.They watch every second of whats happening to them. While they sure do look beautiful to see when they come apart, its horrifying to think of what the cost will be to humanity when they're gone. 😟
