It's one of the few in the world that isn't in decline. As for the image, we set the camera to continuous shoot so we got a ton of shots of it falling and Jeff then put them all together as a animated .gif file.

I mean, there's no such thing as that. These are just natural warming cycles that are going to cook our collective goose.

And I have sensed an ice theme lately in your blog. What are these sunny skies and beaches you speak of in your FB status? Bet that was pretty f'in cool though. Though are these new icebergs more common now than they have been in the past? That was very graphic. And I have sensed an ice theme lately in your blog.

It was a little iceberg breaking and the noise it made would make you believe a bus crashed into the water and that boggled my mind. I cannot imagine how loud it must of been to see/hear what you saw coming directly from the glacier. Did you manage to see the glacier when the sun is not out, giving it a blueish color?

But equally as messy. From what I know, glaciers don't move "really fast", so its all relative. Right? That’s one violent “birth”. But equally as messy.
