In 2008, in Western Greenland, Adam LeWinter and Director Jeff Orlowski filmed a historic breakup at the Ilulissat Glacier. The size of the glacier was estimated to be the size of Manhattan. It took 75 minutes from start to finish.
The glacier retreated a full mile across a calving face three miles wide. The total height of the glacier is approximately 3, 000 feet, of which 300-400 feet are above water and the rest sits below the water’s surface.
