Global Warming

In 2008, the largest calving event of a glacier was caught on film by Adam LeWinter and Jeff Orlowski at the Ilulissat Glacier in Greenland. This calving event was where a part of the glacier, the size of Manhattan island, slipped into the ocean.
All in all, the entire event lasted 75 minutes and while calving events are normal for glaciers terminating in the ocean, it is rare that such a large piece of ice breaks off. Scientists who viewed the film record, have concluded that the increase pressure on the glacier and the thermal effects from the ocean have coincided in such a manner to illustrate the effects of global climate change on the glacier’s progress.
