It’s really cool to see in real time an example of how a glacier can erode the terrain though.

Now imagine ice age glaciers that were over 2 miles thick hitting that same shoreline.
The moment when the big triangle bloc tips over and all the snow splatters on the ground. Soooo satisfying.
It looks like it might be Lake Baikal. It’s a huge lake in Siberia that freezes over like this.
Kill the camera man. I was getting whiplash. Just take a few steps back and get the whole thing in frame.
I’m glad more built in videos are appearing on lemmy. I missed them
