1. I've watched this vid so many times & am awestruck every time, especially the whale.

I had one DUer tell me I was crazy there was no whale, that was just ice, but I see a frickin' a whale.

2. Scary. Whale at 2 minutes?

3. Yeah, the whale shows up at 1:49.

The whole movie is really good!

From Google:

Chasing Ice is a 2012 documentary film about the efforts of nature photographer James Balog and his Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) to publicize the effects of climate change. The film was directed by Jeff Orlowski. It was released in the United States on November 16, 2012.

5. Went to YouTube which said this:

"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."

8. I didn't see that thank you.
