Perito Moreno Glacier Collapse / Calving Caught On Camera. El Calafate. Patagonia. Argentina. 

Thank you. That's what I thought is often missing - the process itself - not just the action that lasts a few seconds.

haha

And no stupid music played over the top, or idiots yelling ‘oh my god’ every 10 seconds.

Different perspective than usual is interesting too.

Si!

Amen to that! 😂😂😂😂😂

Here here 👏🏻

I really don't understand why they do that 😏🙄

@@mcarter9839 Have you never clapped at the movie theater at a part of the movie you liked? Well, it's the same concept. You're clapping at a screen, they're clapping at a glacier. It's an spectacle, you know... entertainment, so you clap whenever something interesting happens.

Clap to a screen ? no, never. Just as stupid as clapping to a glacier.

trying to encourage an encore ............

Heh. Yeah

Tornado's, earthquakes, blizzards and the like are just as amazing and no one claps for those.

The applause is for an amazing God who created all things and set the laws of physics in play....they do it instinctively.

@@Blueknight1960 that's nonsense, this is causing harm to nobody, it's a moment to appreciate we don't see every day, that's why we clap, please inform yourself before talking

@@martinpollet Ahh, did someone get their little feelings hurt?

Search for 'calving.' It is a common phenomenon but it dose not happen every single day. As the glacier constantly slides down the valley, gravity breaks its lower end. This is what you see falling into the ocean.

Coincido!

Sadly, ours.

Es gente que viene de un planeta donde se aprecian las cosas simples de la naturaleza y no donde aplauden a artistas MK ultras .

Gente de éste mundo que conoce la naturaleza del glaciar perito Moreno, todos los años por efecto del verano y presión del río, rompe, y se abre paso el río, en invierno se tapa nuevamente y se crea un embalse natural

@@osvaldorodriguez1212 ..what you see here is Glacier calving, which happens only when they “grow”.

Thanks. Took me a little over an hour to get these 3 mins.

It is now melting, starting it’s water cycle all over again.

"wasted" LOL

​@@Nuttyirishman85 That's what you think, but the Earth is warming and all glaciers are in jeopardy, calving is not actually a growing glacier, but you are fortunate if snowfall is replenishing the top side of the glacier dear one

@@EvolutionWendy You would figure lake mead would have a little water in it, if glaciers are at risk? You’ve been duped.

@@Nuttyirishman85 nah, we need ecofacism to save us from ourselves.

They are probably happy to see the glacier growing so fast!

It happened this specific glacier is actually not shrinking at all - it keeps growing enough to replenish what is melted.

Not true

Estimada Azucena, espero estés bien, no tengo el placer de conocerte pero me tomo la licencia de responderte, puesto que he leido cientos de veces la desaprobación de los aplausos puntualmente cuando ocurre un desprendimiento como el que muestra este video. Los aplausos, como toda expresión de una emoción intensa de asombro, júbilo, alegría, felicidad y/o aprobación y gratitud siempre estan bien...nunca sobran. Posiblemente tu interpretación de los mismos, te lleve a un error de concepto. Vivo en El Calafate, Parque Nacional los Glaciares, Patagonia-Argentina. Soy Artista Plástica, me dedico especialmente a pintar los glaciares y por el mensaje que llevo a través de mis obras, desde hace muchísimo tiempo fui designada como Embajadora de Paz ante la UNESCO y Unicef. Mis obras han participado de La Cumbre del Climático a traves del Arte en Illinois, EE.UU en Octubre 2019. Basándome en todo mi hacer, te aseguro que ver caer una pared de hielo de caso 70m de altura por 40 a 100m base, más el estruendo imponente...es casi imosible mantener la clma, Es tan poderoso lo que nos pasa que gritamos y aplaudimos. Ello no implica aplaudir el calentamiento global o lo que sea. Es algo que sale desde el alma. Júbilo puro!!! El Glaciar Perito Moreno, que he pintado una docena de veces,,,al estar apoyado sobre lecho de piedra, ante la presión de la nieve caída en su naciente, hace que avance 2m diarios y como ese lecho termina, y la profundidad del lago en el Canal de los Témpanos(cara norte del glaciar) es de aproximadamente 300m...el hielo sí o sí se desprende.Es como en la vida, hay que dejar espacio para los nuevos que están llegando. Te dejo dos links que muestro el proceso de dos obras. Tesaludo cordialmente.

¿Y si no aplauden no se derrite?...

No se de que estás hablando!..lo que pasa en el perito Moreno no tiene nada que ver con el calentamiento!..gracias a Dios ese glaciar todavía no está afectado por dicha anomalía, y es sabida en el mundo!..es uno de los pocos que se mantienen normales, y cada primavera y sucede este acontecimiento y cada invierno se vuelve a formar!

@@robertohromero6008 esto ocurre en la cara norte, brazo Rico. En la cara sur que es más extensa desde hace unos años viene perdiendo frente, no se sabe aún a ciencia cierta a qué se debe, pero hubo muchos desptendiemtos de base. Lo ví hace dos semanas en un vídeo de alguien profesional que vive en la zona, ilustrado con material y fotos.

Es malo aplaudir por un proceso natural único? El glaciar Perito Moreno tiene la cualidad de que avanza y se regenera. El que se desprenda una parte es normal y ayuda al constante crecimiento del glaciar. En resumen, esa parte que se cayó va a volver a congelarse y a unirse al glaciar en lo que es un ciclo

No, it’s not.

No that's the sound of the ice cracking dear.

I've been around glaciers and I know the sound of ice cracking sounds just like a shot.

It happened this specific glacier is actually not shrinking at all - it keeps growing enough to replenish what is melted.

@@topolm777 one of a kind then because most are just fractions of what they once were.

Educate yourself, Thomas. What you see here is _nothing_ that you are thinking.

@@ut000bs it is more often than rare to hear exactly this, people cheering on videos of melting glaciers. That is tragic. Sorry you do not understand this.

​@@TomasVolley Thanks for your comment. It is sad that the BIG ICE on Earth is dwindling. ALL glaciers are in jeopardy, because the Earth is warming, as you and I know. Not everyone is sensitive to the pain of the Earth

The glacier is actually growing and calving in the process.

It's not "collapsing". It's "calving". It's a natural and continuous process.

It's "calving" not collapsing.

The glacier is growing and calving! Stop being so brainwashed!

What is sad about a glacier growing and calving??

@@Masterchief68 is it growing or shrinking though?

@@deborahnorthover5304 It snows at the top adding more snow, ice and weight. It slowly moves downward where pieces "calve" and fall into the river. It's a normal and continuous process.

It’s not “destructing” it’s flowing down to the sea and this is normal behavior for a glacier.

OMG, seriously?

@@Masterchief68 bUt gLoBaL wArMiNg. Glaciers never melted until humans filled the air with co2 which also poisons algae, plants, and trees!!!

This has nothing to do with global warming. This glacier is one of the few that is advancing and this detachment process is normal and cyclical. The ice reforms. Do some research, don't be left alone with an image without knowing what really happens. Greetings.

What the other lady said ^ This is actually a good thing. It's advancing, and the calving process is perfectly normal.

No one should be sucked into the Global warming scam. Research the physics. What you should be occupied with in Climate Manipulation - now that's real. Very real. GW is just a cover to extract billions from industry and the public while cabal members screw with our weather 🙏
