Wow! Both incredibly beautiful and mind-bogglingly frightening to think about the immense power created by the conversion of all of that energy. My mind immediately flashed to the videos I've seen of kayakers paddling near glaciers in Alaska. That would be a terrifying experience to be paddling near one that rolled while you were just a few feet from it.
That was pretty amazing.
awesome and frightening! thanks for sharing!
As crazy as that is, by watching a few of the linked videos at the end you can see some powerful looking impacts that collapsing glaciers have on the surroundings. 0.0 Cool stuff...
Wow! I wonder how a glacier in Argentina came to be named after my hometown, Uppsala,in Sweden? It is not a very common name in the world after all.
Thank you for a great blog! I found it through another excellent art blog "Making a mark"
Interesting. To me the iceberg's lighting and color appear rather surreal and incongruous with the environment, probably something to do with its translucent qualities. Not that I doubt the video's authenticity, but if I saw this exact scene in a movie I'd suspect it was shoddy special effects.
