Nightowl, Me too. Did an Alaskan cruise and we were very lucky to see this on a beautiful sunny day in Glacier Bay National Park. Some crew members said it was the first time in 21 days that it happened while the ship was there so extra lucky. Got videos.

Mad granny , yes, the calving is an example of global warming. But so are the Great Lakes which were carved by glaciers. It's ok to be entertained by Mother Nature.

CastielFeather420, You need to watch NATGEO every once in a while then. That was an easy question for those of us who pay attention.

Bill D Maryland, I've heard of this. It's August 2019, so this "birth" was 18 months ago =)

Never heard it called that before.

Newsie, not always. I've never heard it referred to this though.
