Impressive video

That's a big calving event!

At about 2:05 it looks like a whale surfaces from the water.

Watch the whole movie on netflix; it is amazing.

That sequence was amazing. I was disappointed with the film overall, though. I was expecting the bulk of it to be about the ice, not the trials and tribulations of the filmmaker.

I just tripped over the video on Wimp.com but it's a clip from Chasing Ice? I'll watch it this weekend either way.

I've always wanted to see an avalance from a safe distance but to be able to witness this ice calving would have been out of this world.

Good interview. Good podcast.

I just finished watching Chasing Ice. Fantastic movie and thanks for the recommendation.

Didn't really learn anything about global warming that I didn't already know but it was sad (yet fascinating) to see how fast we are losing some of these glaciers.

David, I saw the part of the ice which looked like a whale the second time around.
