One in 10,000 billion chance to actually see "Ice Calving", also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving. It is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. I was lucky to capture the following sequence of photos as it is breaking off and falling into the water. You see it first and then seconds later you will hear the rumble of the ice crashing into the water. By then it is too late to capture it. I had a feeling this ice was about to fall and kept my camera ready to start shooting photos. I was right and captured the following sequence of photos.
The top of the cave is beginning to collapse
Breaking loose and falling
