It's wild how much water glaciers produce and still are that massive in size.

Alot of them are shrinking or straight up gone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retreat_of_glaciers_since_1850

There is a leak in that rock dam. It'll probably fix itself.

We got it on film, you can take it down now.

Take a good look at it. It'll be gone in a couple of years.

Couragous of you to think it will take years.

About 10 years ago I saw the glaciers in person and they used to reach halfway down the mountain. About 20 years ago they reached the water

C'mon now, don't think of this as the warmest year on record, think of it as the coolest year of the rest of our lives!

Looks just like the top of my apartment building's trash bin. After gently trying to open it, I decided not to tempt fate further.

Wow! Amazing! Have you visited Falls de Iguazu? Also awesome!
theock2
Or have you visited El Calefate or Tiera de fuego? Both awesome too, but super windy.....
If I have been to Iguazu ... but this is more impressive. Because there are not many people and nature is intact
Great in Brazil ,Argentina
BaklavaMatatas
took this on the Argentinian side, exactly 10 years ago this week. Thx for the reminder :)
Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing the picture.

I know I shouldn’t but I wanted to see an avalanche on a grand scale

Look up 'ice shelf Antarctica breaks apart'. Too much stuff to be found there. National Geographic has a nice documentary on it too.

Ice falls down constantly. It’s about 1hr walk to the vantage point and you hear it crashing the whole time. Source: me, i was there ?
Hornsoup
I was waiting for it to slide, because this is imgur.
scandalinasmalltown
Me too! I’m like cool! ...but also global warming :/
Thecynicalspud
The Himalayas just lost a big glacier.
LiquidSunshine
Yes! I also want to be in the middle of the an ocean storm just to feels its power! Nature!!

Not an avalanche but here's the largest glacier calving ever recorded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC3VTgIPoGU
tastycrayon
I was hoping someone would post this as a reply. It's not exactly an avalanche, but that is a metric fuck-ton of ice moving... on steroids.
KingOfHatsMedia
That was so cool I had to show it to all my friends.

just wait 1 to 5 years. you will

I believe northern India had one early this week.
Word is still out on the exaxt cause, but looks like a landslide mixed with ice. Ive been watching as this pertains to my field
This is probably the best article I've seen https://news.sky.com/story/uttarakhand-dam-disaster-what-caused-indias-deadly-flood-12214731

So .. lets talk about that username for a second
So you're saying the glacier is going to grow by a considerable amount and push that part off the edge?
maskedrabbit
Melting makes glaciers unstable. The melt water flowing under the glacier let's ot slide and shift more easily.
That applies more to ice sheet glaciers than mountain glaciers. Mountain glaciers tend to move slower as they melt and 1/
melt from their terminus end receding back up. This is due to a loss of ice pressure from above as the head is ablated.
As a geologic engineer who studies this kind of stuff, YES PLEASE!!!
CoolmanDizzle
I’ll poke it with a stick for a nickel and a half
Ok!
ThePunneryOfficer
Can you tell us some interesting facts about glaciers and glaciation?
Glaciers supply almost 2 billion people with drinking water. Glaciers make a lot of noise. The moan, groan, crack and boom as they move 1/
I love standing next to them and feeling/hearing their power. Give it a listen https://youtu.be/7ZyL1GlKH-s
WoofBastard
That's so cool. It reminds you that despite appearances to our simple eyes, these are actually highly dynamic things.
And to me it looks like big portions of that glacier are pushed off the edge pretty frequently.
