Iceberg 4 miles wide breaks off from Greenland glacier

[longknife]

I sure wouldn’t want to be living there with that monster hovering over me. If a big part breaks off, the waves could inundate the town.

Dayum! That's a big'un!

 

[Crepitus]

Wow, you could pour a lotta scotch over an ice cube 4 miles wide.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Didn't really look 4 miles wide.

Did anyone else notice the video is sped up and is not real time?

Who has time to literally watch ice melt?

It was not melting, it was floating away.

Does it float a lot faster than in melts?

It actually melts quite slowly. The reason it calves is not melting but lack of support underneath causing it to break off from the glacier. Gravity works!

Gravity works!

Ask any skater ...

Lol....just watched the video. Perhaps the most disappointing and boring vid ever posted on the internet! God bless these scientists who probably get thrilled watching stuff like this....but for a moment, just imagine a bunch of these guys sitting around and collectively viewing with thrilled looks of amazement! Oy....being around folks like that fir more than 5 minutes cant be good for your mental health!

You only pour the cheap shit over ice cubes, not the good stuff.

I paid for it, if I want it over ice that's how I'mma drink it.

You can put ketchup on prime rib that you bought also...doesn't make you any less of a putz because you paid for it.

If you are going to pour it over ice, you may as well buy the cheap stuff, since you cheapen the good stuff by pouring it over ice...do you put a little umbrella in it also...the umbrellas make it more classy..right?

It isn't an opinion...It is a demonstrable fact...do a bit of reading on fine whiskeys and how the are best enjoyed. You literally destroy the very characteristics that the additional aging puts into whiskey when you pour it over ice...and even more so if your ice is made with tap water.

What happens when you add water or ice to whisky or whiskey - whiskyforeveryone.com

:clip:

Adding water
By adding a few drops of water to a whisky, you can open up different, new and subtle flavours that you previously had not experienced. This is especially true when drinking cask strength whiskies that have higher alcohol levels (these can be up to and over 60% ABV in some cases). With cask strength whisky the alcohol and resulting burning in your mouth can overpower even the most prominent flavours. By adding some water, this dilutes the alcohol and reduces its effect, giving both the prominent and more subtle flavours a chance to shine. Imagine drinking a fruit cordial or concentrate without any water and then with water - it is essentially the same idea. How much water you then add is entirely dependent on your taste.

Adding ice
Ice is slightly different. Rather than enhancing flavours, it inhibits them as the ice makes the temperature of the whisky drop rapidly. It is the same as when you drink a good white wine that has been chilled down too much. It will be a more refreshing drink and calm the burn of alcohol, but can make the whisky taste dull and flat. The aromas and taste will only start to open up and reveal their full characteristics once the whisky starts to warm up to room temperature.

Keep it in the freezer and you wont need ice.

It's your opinion. Other people may share it, but it's still.jjst your opinion, and therefore meaningless to me.
