Glacier Calving Causes Huge Shooters

While viewing the glacier in Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska large chunks of ice fall from the 200 ft tall tidewater glacier and several large house sized "shooters" emerge from underneath the water level, creating a huge wave that rocked the boat. Aug. 14, 2012

Iceberg flipping over...

This Iceberg was "calved" by Argentina's Uppsala glacier. While we were passing by it with a catamaran, the huge berg lost a part of itself (look at the right side sinking) and then flipped over with a huge roar. In the process of melting this happens all the time, but it is seldom that it is captured on video WHEN it happens... March 27,  2012
