The glacier calving was a near miss, said Luc Mehl, a local adventurer and outdoor educator who teaches classes about wilderness safety and training, including wild ice skating, among other topics.

The pace of glacier loss has been increasing in recent years as the planet gets warmer, but extreme calving events are still relatively rare, and they are difficult to predict. A new study has ...

How ocean warming triggers glacier calving. In addition to the long-term retreat, these glaciers also retreat in the summer and advance again in winter, often by several hundred metres.
