Footage From the Documentary ‘Chasing Ice’ Captures the Largest Glacier Calving Ever Filmed

The 2012 documentary Chasing Ice by director Jeff Orlowski captured the largest glacier calving ever filmed. On May 28, 2008, the Ilulissat Glacier in Western Greenland broke apart in a historic ice calving that saw the glacier recede a full mile in just 75 minutes.
