Footage from the Chasing Ice project of the largest glacier calving event ever filmed, at Greenland's Ilulissat Glacier in 2008. A 75-minute event is condensed to a few minutes of cameras watching ice collapse.

At 1m50s a huge piece of ancient blue ice rises, reminiscent of a blue whale breaching from the ocean depths. Beautiful: [VIDEO]

If you haven't seen it, the following video is amazing. The glacier that's falling apart is about the size of Manhattan. "CHASING ICE captures largest glacier calving ever filmed" [VIDEO]

Was hoping there would be visual of an unstable glacier, not just text about sea level rise. If you have never seen a glacier calve before, check out these videos: [VIDEO] [LINK] [LINK]

I humbly submit this magnificent calving: [VIDEO] Mind boggling. A chunk of ice the size of Manhattan rolling over.
