"CHASING ICE" captures largest glacier calving ever filmed - OFFICIAL VIDEO



This rare footage has gone on record as the largest glacier calving event ever captured on film, by the 2016 Guiness Book of World Records. 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. Footage produced by James Balog (http://jamesbalog.com) and the Extreme Ice Survey (http://extremeicesurvey.org) Chasing Ice won the award for Excellence in Cinematography at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and a 2013 Emmy Award for Outstanding Nature Programming. It has won over 40 awards at festivals worldwide, and was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, "Before My Time" by J. Ralph featuring Scarlett Johansson and Joshua Bell.

  1. Love this as a Geology Geek, yet I want to lick those fresh ice faces? What is wrong with me?
  2. "were just observers"
    nah were the cause of global warming at an extreme rate.
    fuck humams.
    "fuck everything, quire profit" should be our dumbass motto
  3. Now of course, all of the arrogant, self-important people are going to start saying "Global warming! We did that!", which is about half right. It probably is from global warming, but your pathetic ass isn't that significant.
  4. aw man, you said it lasted 75 minutes but you only gave us 3....sniff. Is there anymore besides this? Thanks.
  5. this could be the cause of climate change.
  6. 15 years ago it was all about "the ice age is coming back" now it's global warming. you people have no memory, are too young, or are just plain fools. They don't have enough history logged to be accurate. Get real.
  7. I wonder if the speed and sound are real time.
  8. Powerful and Majestic at the same time!!

    Heaven is His throne and the earth His footstool!!
    Isaiah 66;1
    He own the cattle on a 1000 hills, All the beast in the forest belong to Him.
    All the crows in the air are His. Psalms 50:10
    Than what can man give unto Him (The Almighty)??

    To him who has an ear, let him hear what the psalmist is saying in Psalm 50:
    Question: "What does it mean that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills?"

    Answer: “Every animal of the forest is mine, / and the cattle on a thousand hills. / I know every bird in the mountains, / and the insects in the fields are mine” (Psalm 50:10–11). Saying that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills is another way of saying that everything belongs to God.

    The context of Psalm 50 sheds some light on the meaning of the statement of God’s ownership of cattle. Beginning in verse 7, God is “testifying” against Israel. He says, “I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices,” which means that the Israelites were carrying out their duties regarding the sacrifices according to the Law of Moses; they were doing things right, externally. But then God puts the sacrifices in perspective, saying, “I have no need of a bull from your stall / or of goats from your pens” (verse 9), and He reminds them that “every animal of the forest is mine, / and the cattle on a thousand hills” (verse 10). God can get animals anywhere; they are already His. He doesn’t need to be offered them by man. Why is God telling the people He doesn’t need their animals?

    The answer is in the message of this psalm, which includes these points:

    1) God requires more than external compliance to commands; He desires internal righteousness. Even though the people were procedurally blameless in regard to the sacrifices, they were lacking in true worship. In Psalm 50:14–15, God says, “Sacrifice thank offerings to God, / fulfill your vows to the Most High, / and call on me in the day of trouble; / I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

    2) God does not need sacrifices for “food.” God does not need anything; He is the Self-existent One. He is the Creator and Sustainer; nothing creates or sustains Him. This is in direct contrast to the pagan gods, whose mythologies taught their need to eat. Sacrifices brought to the idols were considered the food of the gods. The One True God of Israel makes a clear distinction between Himself and the false deities (Psalm 50:12–13).

    3) God rebukes “worship” based solely on obligation; thanksgiving is an important part of true worship (Psalm 50:14), as is a relationship grounded in salvation: “I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (verse 15).

    4) God defies the notion that what people give to Him is “theirs” and that they are being magnanimous in parting with their property for God’s sake. Many people today harbor the false perception that they own stuff and then give some of it to God. God owns the cattle on a thousand hills—is it really generous of us to give God a cow every now and then? If everything we have is the Lord’s, how magnanimous is it to give God ten percent?

    God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He owns every animal and every bird and every beast. He owns us. For His greatness and goodness, we “continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name
    See (Hebrews 13:15).

  18. Stunning. Who could down vote this??!!
  19. I watched this video and I dont believe humans can control climate change. Deal with it. No amount of taxation will change the worlds thermal cycles. Sorry. It wont. Spend the money preparing for change instead. Its the nature of all things to change.
