This video was produced from a sequence of still frame images of the calving terminus of the Belcher Glacier on Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada. The video starts on July 14, 2007 and shows the break-up of the sea ice at the front of the glacier, and the subsequent iceberg calving throughout the summer.
The Belcher Glacier is the focus of the Canadian IPY: GLACIODYN Project. For more information, please visit: http://people.uleth.ca/~sarah.boon/IPY_page/index.html
Aren't calving glaciers amazing? The sounds they make and everything. The best footage I've ever seen is in a DVD called "Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience", which can be found on Film Baby. It's available for download. Check it out! It has VERY RARE calving events.
If you want to see calving glaciers, check out this. It has a lot!

It would seem like one frame per hour or even better 6 frames per hour would provide a much more stable picture of the change. 4 frames per day seems to leave a lot of information unrecorded and the image is disjointed hard to see the differences.
