My closest comparable experience was my working trip to Juneau Alaska in 2008. At the Hubbard glacier watching a 500+ ton chunk of glacier sheer off into the icy bay which racked the big cruise ship I was on.

Gee! That sounds epic. Hope there was no major damage. We saw a little avalanche, nothing that would do any harm but it was still awesome to see it happening, everything was in slow motion
You can hear it like a huge CRACK!
Just before a giant breaks away and falls into the bay. We're far from the danger zone but close enough to be awed by the powerful glacial action.
Omg! I can imagine watching it. We saw a little one, everything was in slow motion, so surreal
This was mid July, the summer there.
Glacial activity is usually at its greatest giving cruise line passengers a thrill to see it for themselves. The Hubbard Glacier is a regular stop for every cruise ship traveling the Alaskan pan handle. Ketchecan and Skagway are also featured stops on that route.
