On the picture a calving event in front of equi glacier.
The Eqi Glacier in west Greenland, which ends in the fiord 80 kilometres north of Ilulissat. It is possible by boat to get very close to the glacier and experience huge pieces of ice breaking off. The sounds are enormous and the sight of the icebergs, crashing into the water, is breathtaking.
Eqip Sermia, an ocean-terminating glacier, shows lots calving of iceberg. In some cases, these calving events can cause tsunami waves, generally these tsunami are moderate, but in some case big events can occur, during the collapse of a 200m high ice cliff caused a tsunami wave of 50m heights.
