This Video Shows What’s Thought to Be the Largest Iceberg Collapse Ever Caught on Film

A documentary covering how climate change is altering the Arctic landscape has captured what’s being called the “largest iceberg calving ever filmed,” according to The Guardian.

Chasing Ice“ was put together from material taken while filmmaker and environmental photographer James Balog was on assignment in the Arctic for National Geographic to capture how climate change was impacting ice. This year, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported Arctic ice shrank to record lows, which was attributed by experts to both global warming and natural causes.

Regardless of your views of global warming — man-made or not — the sights (and sounds) in the footage featured by The Guardian for the documentary, which can be seen in select theaters now, is stunning. The Guardian reported one researcher calling it “Manhattan breaking apart in front of your eyes.”

The team waited weeks to capture footage like this. The final result was 7.4 cubic kilometers of ice breaking from the Ilulissat glaciar in Greenland. 

Check it out (Warning: Some strong language):

If you found this footage of the iceberg calving fascinating, be sure to check out this glacial avalanche that caused boat-rocking waves in an article by TheBlaze here.

As for Balog capturing such footage for “Chasing Ice,” the documentary’s synopsis states that he had to battle technology that hadn’t been tested in such subzero conditions and realized his own mortality on while on the mission as well.

“It’s not the nicest environment for technology,” Balog said in the trailer.

The film was directed and produced by Jeff Orlowski and has already been showcased at film festivals and won several awards.

Here’s the trailer for the film, which includes part of the clip showcased by The Guardian:

      For the uninformed: Icebergs are calved because new ice is formed up above and the pressure of the movement down the slope is pushing the leading edges off into the waters. Periods of melt results in fewer instances of iceberg calving.

      Well, no. The glacier did in fact clave. It will be used that as tree hugging global warming propaganda, though, as the only people interested in camping out on glaciers until they get footage of something are those with an agenda to push. It’s the “biggest” cleave yet caught on film because nobody else is dumb enough to tape what happens naturally few months since forever.

      Simple facts are these = global temperatures have stayed static for the last 16 years, defying every prediction of the anthropomorphic alarmists.

      I’ve been viewing spectacular footage on natural disasters for over 50 years, thanks to my Grandfather’s fascination with nature. To be sure, he’d get a boot out of all the claims of global warming being responsible for this stuff. He called it “nature at it’s finest!” In other words, this is nature as it has always been. It’s just that living in cities and on farms we don’t see it. I’ve got to admit though, the loony left sure knows how to take the joy out of most anything with their political commentary on most anything.

    So no matter, the solution to stop all this ice age action, that has been taking place on this planet as long as anyone can figure out, means it’s time to tax the people more, to save us and Al’s beach house, from mother nature.

    I love how all the greenies are sure, some more of your money will end the constant changing of our climate.

    Humans’ impact on climate change is a real thing. It’s really happening. This video is not proof, and barely evidence. However, if you are truly interested, there is a wealth of data and research that does prove that human activity is perpetuating global warming. Our planet depends on our species to stop consuming fossil fuels before it is too late. Stop believing in fairy tales, start believing in science, before it is too late.

      OH you mean like the “science” that says it’s fossil fuel when every chemist in the oil industry knows damn well, and has for more than 50 years, that Oil is abiotic. So, OIL is NOT a fossil fuel.
      Directly compare SOHO sunspot data and global temperature, place them on a graph over time, then get back to me about “Science” Global temperature is primarily determined by activity on the sun. Imagine that, the SUN is responsible for global warming. We kinda knew that all along didn’t we?
      Don’t believe me? Walk outside, its winter in the US. That temperature difference is caused by a mere 30 degree tilt. In essence, a few thousand miles. Now try to convince me its NOT the sun, go ahead ……try.
      Use ALL of the available data, apply Occam’s razor The inescapable conclusion is solar storms.

      An equally convincing case can made to chart a correlation between climate change and virtually anything, like the national debt for instance. Your evidence is subjective. It requires faith just to believe in man made warming. It requires naivete and faith to believe lowering the standard of living through taxation and inferior or rationed energy consumption is the solution. Both are wrong in my opinion. There are patterns to everything in life. Sometimes I think we give ourselves too much credit for being able to affect the natural course of the universe.

      Hmmmm, I ‘d like to see a comparison of the Insolation of the Earth (in Watts per square meter, converted to BTU’s per square meter) vs the BTU impact of combustion of fossil fuels per square meter (same surface used in the Sun calculation) over a meaningful unit of time, say a year! It would really impress me if the dinosaur juice gave off more heat than scarfed off the Sun, or even a meaningful amount. Oh, and don’t forget that big heat-sink in the sky–Outer Space! I wonder how many BTU’s are sucked off Earth every day to heat up the Universe??? Maybe, if we put up a big enough solar panel, we could have all the power we want, and shade the Earth so it doesn’t ‘suffer’ from the Sun’s heat? But wait, where would all the rain go? The Earth is falling, The Earth is falling — actually it falls around the Sun at a rate of 1 revolution per year! Given the distance it covers on its annual circuit, that must be one heck of a speed! Why doesn’t all the atmosphere blow away? How about some REAL SCIENCE from REAL SCIENTISTS (the ones that don’t falsify data to get their way), who don’t sully the profession, to convince all us uneducated carbon-burners that we really do have a problem???

      I think the whole point should be humans have an impact on everything we touch! We have decimated or changed entire continents, caused the extinction of entire species numerous times. We are also overpopulating and overrunning the entire planet.
      And your biggest gripe is we are overheating the planet… Wish that was all I had to worry about, I am more concerned about being able to survive the last election, about not having employment or a place to live and you expect us to take time to stop and fix a rise in temperature?
      The worst that could possibly happen is we cause our own extinction and the planet heals itself over time. And if it doesn’t well, guess that is what is meant to be! Perhaps that was the laws of nature kicking in…

      Starkadder, you are right. I live in Australia and I experienced Global Warming from 1963 to 2008. The winters were mild and the summer nights hot. Then in 2009 I started wearing winter clothing again. It is the SUN, GW is not man made. The GW Scientists said they were using GW to bring about Global Governance, now they are using Climate Control to bring about the GG aka New World Order. They will succeed but the SUN will be burning searing HOT. It has already started and it will end up drying up the surface water.

      A glacier that makes it as far as an ocean or a lake will not advance or recede – the toe of the glacier will be at the calving point. All of the ice will calve into the water as the ice moves ahead – like an endless conveyor belt. Except for very large glaciers, it is not possible for the glacier to advance into the ocean, as the ice will melt or break off. If a glacier that has been calving begins to recede, then it won’t be calving becuase it is no longer in contact with the water.

      Calving glaciers make for impressive video footage, but glaciers will calve no matter what kind of a cooling or warming trend the earth is in. Using a calving glacier as evidence of global warming is junk science.

      The earth’s atmosphere, land masses, and weather patterns have been changing since the earth was formed. This process will continue until the earth is eventually swallowed up by our sun when it moves on to it’s next phase of existence. Anthropogenic climate change can neither be proven nor disproven given our current knowledge and capabilities. So don’t get married to any of the OPINIONs out there.

      Simple facts, Man On a Mission, or MOM if I may.

      Global warming has happened before. Science has proof.
      Global cooling has happened before. Science has proof.
      But, both periods happened, before the industrial revolution ever occurred. So, why is it that we must now blame the same thing on man? Why do we put science (which, by the way, is only correct until the next theory comes along) in front of our own God-given senses?

      Do not make scientists, your priests. They are only men, and while their understanding of a subject may exceed your own, a theory is not truth until it is Law. Even then, a Law made by man may be broken. A Law made by God, will not be broken without consequences, which are up to Him.

    Galileo knew that the Earth orbited the sun, but he church declared it contrary to Scripture and was warned to abandon his rational hypothesis which had proof. There is a pattern in how religious and conservative people warm up to scientific studies:
    First they deny it,
    Second, they say it conflicts with the Bible,
    Third, religious people say “we knew it all along”

    First conservatives said climate change was not real, now they said “ok it’s real, but not man made”. It’s amazing how conservatives hijack the progress of this nation by vilifying rational thought. If conservatives got out of the way, our nation would enter a diamond era of enlightenment. Education, science, medicine would flourish. The standard of living for the even least wealthy would be idolized by other nations.

    300 Scientists, 97% of world scientists, 48 Countries, 160 Research Groups say:
    The last decade was the hottest on record. Climate change is real and caused by humans.

      JUSTLIES, you’re a moron. Your analogy is pathetic. You lefties try to make it seem that all of science agrees with you, when thats a bunch of nonsense. It the past, the planet has been warmer than it is now, and it has been colder than it is now, was that caused by humans too? In the 60′s and 70′s, the leftists were telling us we’re headed for another ice age, now its warming. Come on progressives, get your stories straight!

      Here’s another from YOUR scientists:

      AVG, you fool. Look at the trend over the past century, not the past 15 years. The people you have trusted for information are purposely distorting the data. In a broader sample size, there is no question that the earth is warming, and experts (the people who actually know the truth) are nearly unanimous in their belief that human activity is perpetuating it. You, and people like you, will be responsible for the end of life on earth. I hope your deity forgives you.

      Man, the warming has been ongoing, mostly uninterrupted, for 12,000 years. At that time (12,000 years ago) there were permanent, i.e. year-round, ice sheets as far south as Kansas and Missouri. Ice sheets/glaciers leave tell-tale deposits after they melt and those can be seen today in Kansas and Missouri if one wants to go out in the field to view them. So, something caused the Earth to start warming about 120 centuries ago and it hasn’t stopped. The entire history of the Earth is one of warming/cooling with its attendant rise/fall of sea level. The geologic record reflects this quite nicely.

      Why do you conservatives hate reason? Why are some of you still disputing Climate Change? Is it because you would have to admit that liberals and progressives are right?

      See, that is the typical misdirection tactic you are forced to use! WHO is denying climate change? The climate changes minute by minute. It was cold this morning, getting nice now. Hope we get snow for Christmas, but it has been dry lately. Not like two years ago. Last year was good…

      We love reason! That’s why when we see the scientists get caught with their hand in the cookie jar of data and are trying to work tricks on the data in order to make is fit the rhetoric we call them liers and no longer want to hear what they say because they have lost their credibility. How’s that for reason?

      You Conservatives hate reason. A bunch of you dismissed my comment, which is overwhelmingly backed by the international scientific community.

      I’m sure most of you think evolution is fake.

      I’m sure most of you thought Romney was a good pick.

      For example you think guns should be legal. In light of the shooting do you still think it should be legal? Rational thinkers realize that guns would not protect you against a government who uses drones. And there are very few instances where someone with a gun was able to protect them self. Guns are for killing citizens.

      Justafacts – Your critical thinking ability is lacking. There are also an overwhelming number of scientists that dispute your belief in AGW.

      Evolution is a Hypothesis that doesn’t even deserve the title of Theory since there is no valid evidence of transitional forms that have ever been observed.

      Romney was a terrible pick.

      Dude, guns are legal and yes I do. 2nd amendment states “arms” which includes canons, howitzers, tanks and any other form of arms including drones and you are wrong about your statistics but I agree with you on the last statement. They are for shooting a citizen that attempts to trample on my freedom but then again, where exactly are you coming from? Do you have a reason to shoot “Citizens”? You state it as if you are not one. Barack, is that you?

      No, my deity laughs at you.

      Before you go, please tell me which of the scientists you speak of, have no profit in perpetuating the data skew? Is it the ones from the University of Michigan? Maybe the ones from East Anglia?

      Did they lose their grant funding? How about the “peer review?” Boy that really is fool-proof, isn’t it?

    No point of reference. “300 and 600 feet high”. The only thing that “high” must have been the camera person. Icebergs and glaciers m-o-v-e. It doesn’t “prove” global warming. It “proves” that the ice is doing what it’s supposed to. I would much rather see the ice fall in the ocean at the end of the glacier than to carry forward. Then Gore would be complaning about Global Ice Age.

    It’s like the Doe who ran across the road to do anything for a Buck….

    Volcano Deep Down Could Be Melting Greenland’s Ice.
    A thin spot in the Earth’s crust is enabling underground magma to melt Greenland’s ice, scientists at the Ohio State University feel.

    According to them, the “hotspot” is located in the northeast corner of Greenland — just below a site where an ice stream was recently discovered.
    Viking sagas as examples of unusual warming around 1003 A.D. ‘The Vikings established colonies in Greenland at the beginning of the second millennium, but they died out several hundred years later when the climate turned colder.

    ok…I was just trying to get ahead of the trolls. Global warming is in fact real. So is global cooling…and it has been around long before man, so get off my back Al Gore! I like my SUV.

      Al Gore likes his SUV also, and his jets, and his huge mansion, and he likes his million dollars too from the Nobel Peace prize for saving the earth. Let’s be thankful he was never the pres. Obama wouldn’t have as much of America to destroy.
