CHASING ICE

[Voyageur]

This short film describes the calving of glacier ice in Greenland. Have not seen the full film, and it is likely being linked to anthropomorphic global warming and doom with statements like its gone, never to be seen again; without of course mentioning that the creation of these conditions back to ice once more, could happen in a flash. It likely would not posit causation of internal sphere heating and all the other possible outside of earth influences.

Nevertheless, as cinematography, the landscape of ice moving, being upended, and collapsing is quite something, especially considering the mass (size of Manhattan).

One visual thing, @ 1:51, there is a scene whereby the ice/ocean is turning and this shot for the next few seconds kind of looks like a massive breaching whale, at least as it appeared to me.

There is also a second link showing some of the setup issues.

Black icebergs are not unusual, so it just looks like a darker section of ice to me.

Yes black ice indeed, realize the way I wrote it implies that i thought it could be a breaching whale ("as it appeared to me"). Should have said more along the lines of looking like a whale figure, as in seeing cloud shapes.
