Below left: Notice the loose block of ice shaped like the tip of your thumb in the center of the picture. It almost looks like the nose on an upside-down face. The crowd on deck has been watching this chunk for quite a while. Everyone thinks it's about to break off the glacier. That is, the glacier is about to calve in that spot.
Below right: It just went! See the big splash.
Earlier in the day, another cruise boat was near this glacier when a BIG calving caused an outwash wave 15' high!
