PATAGONIA - Perito Moreno Glacier Dam Collapse 2018 - 12 hours later, the glacier calved like crazy 

Thank you! And you are very welcome. It was an awesome show for us, too.

ARGENTINA CUNA DEL TANGO

Thank you so much!

ROMPIO EN EL 2018 ES DECIR QUE LO HARA EN EL 2022

VIVAAAA ARGENTINA Y LOS ARGENTINOS QUE AMAN SU PATRIA

SPLASH!

ZEITreise : weird that it never happened in the 1600's or 1700's

Doug Davis I thought so, too. Glacier dynamics are strange and cool and still poorly understood 😊

ZEITreise: Thanks for the fascinating video. At first, I thought glacier collapses might be due to the effects of global warming. However, your comments that (at least) these types of glacier collapses have occurred since 1817 caused me to doubt that global warming is a factor. On the other hand, wonder: is there evidence these types of glacial collapses have been happening far longer? It's all very puzzling. I wonder what view environmental scientists have about this glacial phenomenon.

At least it wasn’t dubstep or too electronic sounding...

Opino como usted,no solo la música sino a veces el griterío,que no comprendo a qué emoción corresponde!!!

It is moving all the time, Perito Moreno is one of the fastest glaciers in the world. Thus, many tourists come here to see the calving. But on march 12, the speed was enhanced because of the release of pressure from the collapsed ice dam. Now it is back to normal, which can still be very impressive.

Always

No one was suffering any demise in this video nor any other video that has ever been taken of the calving events that happen almost perpetually at the Perrito Morreno Glacier in Argentina. When people are around and cheering it's because these calving events are massive and amazing and you would cheer to if you were ever lucky enough to get to go to this location and get to witness these incredible and natural occurrences of Mother Nature at her best!

Porque debería preocuparte el desprendimiento en el perito moreno es natural es un proceso cíclico que sucede cada 4 años por el río que pasa por debajo del claciar, no tiene nada que ver con el calentamiento global, es el único glaciar que no retrocede por el calentamiento, hace todo lo contrario y avanza y cuando choca con tierra firme se produce las fracturas para que cada 4 años vuelva a suceder lo mismo.

Bueh, es un proceso natural, el glaciar desprende una parte y esa parte vuelve a unirse al glaciar, no tiene que ver con el calentamiento global

Pat Kittle, it is very realistic due to the fact that it is very real! And everyone knows that you can't get more realistic than reality! So there you have it!

No, it's a natural process of nature. Alarmist!

Just out of curiosity, Karine de Souza, what would you call the whole face of a glacier giving away? Notice I didn't say the whole glacier giving away, which to me would be more alarming.

Though this glacier of course is not located on either one of the icecaps but rather at an inland location of the Patagonia region of southern Argentina in the Glacier National Park of that country.

And the melting of the ice at the poles is a little more complex than that of your slurpee analogy.

Better music than screaming

It is spelled spoiled and no it wasn't.

No es por el calentamiento global!!!

I imagine it's the cost. These things are a LONG way from people that need water. I have read an article about Cape Town's big water problem, and a proposal to solve it by breaking off a giant iceberg and moving it hundreds (or was it thousands?) of miles. Even in the face of great need (slightly diminished now by a generous beginning to the autumn monsoon), moving it to the market is an *enormous* cost, something like $100M even with a very large iceberg (say a couple of km long). Divide 100M gallons by that cost and just the energy to move it runs $1 / gallon. Add costs of harvesting and packaging, and pay labor and storage costs, and it goes up from there. If you had nothing to drink you might cheerfully pay that price, but getting it into the water supply is currently an insurmountable problem -- and for a family of only 4, who could stand a $6-$10k monthly water bill? For water for bathing and cleaning, gardening, not to mention large scale agriculture, desalinization is currently the only practical answer, and that takes power and lots of it. But I think it's still cheaper than moving ice.

And you wouldn't be able to move the ice from this particular location as it is a landlocked lake in the middle of the Patagonia region of southern Argentina.

I agree entirely! We can transport junk around the world and people into space regardless of cost so no excuse!

Actually, the ice that fell return to the glacier, the Perito Moreno does that, it can regenerate

@@megustaelmate5499 you HATE GOD ......................

So don't be sad, be happy and amazed and put it on your bucket list to go to Argentina and witness this incredible glacier for yourself!

You know how the Perito Moreno works, right?

Junk Mail, you're a fool, this is some of the best footage of what is one of the best and most active glaciers in the world from one of the most beautiful areas on the entire planet! That being Glacier National Park of Argentina and Chilè in the heart of the Patagonia region of southern South America. Glacier calving footage doesn't get much better than this. Inland Glacier calving footage that is happening on a lake and not into the sea or ocean does not get any better than this as the Perrito Morreno Glacier going into Lago Argentino is a place like no other in the world. It is truly second to none!
