Glacier Calving Simulator (2D)

This side-view simulator shows a tidewater glacier's terminus meeting the sea: raise the fjord temperature to speed up submarine undercutting, or raise the glacier's flow rate to increase the strain that opens crevasses near the ice cliff. Watch the crevasse readout climb toward the calving threshold, then see a block fracture free, roll into the water, and settle as a floating iceberg with roughly 89% of its bulk hidden below the surface — the same height-above-buoyancy criterion and ice/seawater density contrast that govern real glacier calving.
