Old news to some maybe but this vid is insane. Been on an avy/landslide binge and this takes the cake.

Damn that was insane
Watching entire seracs get ripped off the glacier and explode in slow motion must be rather intense in person...
A couple decades ago in the Alps I was sitting in a sunny meadow with my parents and some friends when a big ass serac came off the glacier about 6000' above us. We watched the ice roll down a giant couloir and eventually explode into the rocks. The whole valley we were in got dusted with pulverized ice, I'll never forget that day. The size was mind boggling and it was considerably smaller than the even in that vid...
Very impressive.
Like an eruption turned inside out. Awesome.
