This is quite interesting – I found it so – because I will never see anything like calfing !
Largest Glacier-Calving Ever Filmed....





This is spell binding - difficult to imagine, if you haven't seen it.

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.
