File:Iceberg calving 480x360 by Slaunger 2007-08-23.ogg
Summary
A video showing the calving of a large <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg" class="extiw" title="en:Iceberg">Iceberg</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilulissat#Ilulissat_Icefjord" class="extiw" title="en:Ilulissat">Ilulissat Icefjord</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland" class="extiw" title="en:Greenland">Greenland</a>. The noise of a calving iceberg was initially heard while going for a walk along the fiord. After orienting around, movement in one of the icebergs was seen. Apparently a large lump had broken off the iceberg, which had then made it statically unstable, so it started turning. A tour boat barely visible was close to the iceberg and immediately turned and sailed away at full speed. As the iceberg turned, further large lumps calved off it resulting in large splashes and waves.
The video has been generated using the commandline tool <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Converting_video" title="Help:Converting video">ffmpeg2theora.exe</a> ver. 0.24 for Windows. The theora video is a cut of a somewhat longer original avi file taken in film mode on a Canon IXUS 800 IS compact camera - a few seconds of very unsteady movement has been eliminated in the beginning, and a larger section in the end where nothing much is happening has been cut away as well.
The sound on the original recording is mainly noise from wind and some expressions of "wow" from my companion and I. There are no sounds of the lumps of ice hitting the water apparent in the audio. This the ogg file is without audio, as the original audio is distracting.
