Footage from the Chasing Ice project of the largest glacier calving event ever filmed, at Greenland's Ilulissat Glacier in 2008. A 75-minute event is condensed to a few minutes of cameras watching ice collapse.
Recommended whenever glaciers come up, as a stunning look at the scale of calving.

If you haven't seen it, the following video is amazing. The glacier that's falling apart is about the size of Manhattan. "CHASING ICE captures largest glacier calving ever filmed" this video
Was hoping there would be visual of an unstable glacier, not just text about sea level rise. If you have never seen a glacier calve before, check out these videos: this video [LINK] [LINK]
At 1m50s a huge piece of ancient blue ice rises, reminiscent of a blue whale breaching from the ocean depths. Beautiful: this video
I humbly submit this magnificent calving: this video Mind boggling. A chunk of ice the size of Manhattan rolling over.
