Largest Glacier-Calving Ever Filmed
On May 28, 2008, Adam LeWinter and Director Jeff Orlowski filmed a historic breakup at the Ilulissat Glacier in Western Greenland. The calving event lasted for 75 minutes and the glacier retreated a full mile across a calving face three miles wide. The height of the ice is about 3,000 feet, 300-400 feet above water and the rest below water.
This is really a "Holy Shit" video. http://www.youtube.com/embed/hC3VTgIPoGU?rel=0

Re: Largest Glacier-Calving Ever Filmed
The first big ice boulder looked a lot like a whale had surfaced in the ice. Just..... a 1,200 foot long whale, that's all!!!!!

Re: Largest Glacier-Calving Ever Filmed
Using Manhattan as a size reference in the end really puts it in perspective. Holy shit is right!
