🧊 Tidewater Ice Cliff: Crevasse Depth, Calving and Iceberg Rollover Lab

Watch a tidewater glacier front stretch, crack and calve: crevasse depth from Glen's flow law (Nye/Benn), meltwater, flotation and freeboard decide when a block breaks off, and a buoyancy model decides whether the iceberg rolls over.

Watch a tidewater glacier front stretch and crack: crevasse depth from Glen's flow law, meltwater, flotation and freeboard decide when a block calves, and a buoyancy model decides whether the iceberg rolls over; compare measured values with closed-form checks.
