Six Glacier Lookout ice breaking off 

More like 1940's Big Band Music and Beautiful Female Dining Room Servers from the ultra-ritzy Chateau Lake Louise, the big 5-star historic hotel on the lake, which has been there since 1925 and gets a new staff change nearly every season.

Rarer then a Bigfoot sighting. We can only hope this person is the one who gets to record that as well!

@@therealboofighter Bigfeets are born blurry, it's not the camera mans fault.

@@markh4926 interesting!

And doesn’t zoom right in so you lose all sense of scale

Thank you very much for finding something positive from this video. I greatly appreciate your kind words. Check out my book, Buddha Krewe Regeneration for a humorist take on climate change/global warming.

well its part of the natural course of the end of the ice age

Chunks of ice can fall off the glacier and potentially hit your head. Just saying.

@@sdrfz They warned us not to. We did anyway

It is false the glacier, that is the lower section below the camera, ever touched the lake in recent times. The lake was discovered by Euro-Canadians, led by an Indigenous People's Guide, in the 1880's. In fact it was the booming of an avalanche similar to this one that caused Tom Wilson, a packer working to supply survey crews on the nearby railway, to be curious about its source, and led him to the lake. The lower glacier was well above the lake even in 1880, it is 5.5 km / 3.5 miles from the end of the lake to where this avalanche fell, and the lower glacier never reached more than half way to the lake in modern times. I am from Western Canada and know this region inside and out, there are countless books published locally on everything one wants to know about it.

@@manofthemoon877 what in the world are you on about???

Thank you!

Hello. So I said nice because it was a very challenging hike up to that point and it required a lot of time to get this shot of the glacier calving. Glaciers always melt some during the warmer months, even before global warming/climate change, but yes, mankind IS speeding this phenomena up at a very accelerated rate. This is precisely why I wrote a book with a possible solution to combat this issue. Read Buddha Krewe Regeneration, and learn how Hemp fuel can be used to combat global warming/climate change in a myriad of ways. Electric cars ARE NOT the solution, as they are charged using fossil fuels and require extensive mining of lithium and other finite natural resources. Hemp however, is a cleaner burning biofuel that is more energy dense than both corn and sugar based ethanol while not taking form the food supply. Plus, Hemp does to require the pesticides nor rape the land it is grown on like corn and sugar both do. Hemp can also be used as oil, food, plastic, clothing, textiles and rope while being grown on every continent, thus reducing the need for global shipping, yet another scourge on this great planet of ours. Additionally, Hemp provides additional photosynthesis and unlike coal mining, the jobs are all out in the sunshine or at least the great outdoors, therefor it gets workers out of the coal mines and into the sunshine. No need to go to the depths offshore drilling is, nor will it require exploration into the polar regions speeding up warming even more. Finally, electrification of automobiles will require extensive infrastructure change whereas Hemp fuel and oil can run in the same exact setups we currently have in place. This, all without even mentioning the benefits Hemp has over the tar sands being processed in the most Northern regions of Canada which requires pipelines to get that low energy dense oil to the refineries of the Gulf Coast and all of the associated leaks in the pipelines combined with the need to then ship it around the world. For a humorist take on these topics, please read the book, Buddha Krewe Regeneration, then hopefully you will say Nice!

It's a shame that so many come out of public schools, clueless and ignorant to the workings of nature..... not to mention Grammar.

The nice comment was because this was something we set out to record and were able to capture it. At the time, getting to record a part of nature like that to someone who is seeing a glacier in person for the first time, it was nice. It is not nice that we are slaves to fossil fuels and have douchebags driving Tesla's thinking they are saving the planet!

You may consider an avalanche beacon. They make a type of air bag device that supposedly can keep you on top of the snow instead of buried alive. Stay safe.

@@patdohrety2940 wow really never heard of these before

You were probably hearing artillery. Howitzers were used until recently to knock down potential avalanche hazards. Now they drop explosives from a helicopters for accuracy and nullify the chance of unexploded shells.

And the fact you survived

We did find her car keys though!

Theon Greyjoy can relate

Hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

thats a welcoming song..how dare you

@@zindi1138 Clearly I was not feeling the “welcoming” part. Don’t be a hater for disagreeing! We’re here in America where we can each be different and enjoy different things, remember? I bet you’d think I was wonderful if I were to bake your favorite dessert, so just think of me as a baker. God bless you and your loved ones, my friend.

500 meter / 1500 foot drop down that cliff

Movie special effects teams still get that wrong.

Hiked it while it was frozen in 2018

And most dangerous as well

Ya I was just thinking this is Alberta, Banff home of the Sasquatch, could have been one underneath there

About time for a name change. Maybe name it Gretzky Lake. Something Canadian

@@Dodgers-sw2uk ---- Most hockey players do not care about mountains or mountaineering. Likewise most mountaineers do not care about hockey or team sports. It was early explorer-mountaineers who named the lake after Princess Louise, who became the wife of Canada's Governor General, and lived in Ottawa. The original Native People's name for the lake was Ho-run-num-nay, which means "Lake of the small fish" so if the name changes to anything, that should be it.

Well, Sweeeeeet was already taken.

He was lucky. I have been to Lake Louise numerous times, even worked there for a summer as a teen, and have seen only 1 avalanche like this from this glacier.

You could get there pretty easily if you wanted to. It's on the trans-Canada highway; I hitched it when I was a tater-tot. Or you could take the train from Vancouver. Piece o cake.

Thats about 2 hrs drive into the hills west of Calgary,Ab.

Yeah, thanks to coronavirus.

So many Grizzly bears in this area & Sasquatches too

It would have sounded better without the 'THATS A BIG ONE!' 'NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!' etc.

The cameraman was jubilant because in case you haven't noticed, it was a bit of a hike, and you still have to wait and time it right. Sorry for being jubilant that I actually accomplished something I set out to do, next time I will reply in a much more subdued manner. And while I personally could not stop that glacier from calving, I am at least trying to do something about. I wrote a book and provided tips and logical reasons to consider Hemp as not only a viable alternative to fossil fuels, but also bio-fuels that take from the food supply. Plus, it doesn't require tons of fertilizers, and does not rape the land like corn and sugar cane. This is in addition to producing a much more energy dense source of bio-fuel per hectare, but what do I know, after all, I'm not too bright.

as long as the snow keeps falling in winter...........

We do suck. The nice comment was because this was something we set out to record and were able to capture it.

The southern Andes of Patagonia are like a "mirror image" of the Coastal Mountains and Fiords of Canada and southern Alaska 600 km / 400 miles west of here, many similarities...........

I was there about 23 years ago too, rock-climbing. All the way from little Wales in Britain. Have same picture of the hotel in front of lake on wall. Funny memory.

The glaciers are definitely not bigger
