The swell from the Tohoku tsunami was likely only a foot high (30 cm) when it reached the Sulzberger Ice Shelf, but the consistency of the waves created enough stress to cause the calving.

当东北部海啸所形成的潮水到达苏兹贝格冰架时仅剩一英尺高了（30厘米），但是海浪的惯性施加的压力仍足以引起裂冰作用。

During the weekend, the rest of the uplifted ice broke away (bottom picture) in the biggest calving in the lake's 35-year history.

周末期间，其余被抬升的冰在该湖35来最大的裂冰中脱离了冰川(下图)。

By itself, this breakup was not dramatic, but it continued a pattern of calving and retreat followed by ice flow acceleration that began nearly a decade ago.

就其本身而言，这次崩裂并不突然，而是始于大约十年前的一个持续的由冰流加速引起的崩离与消退的模式。

Something happens to your sense of time here: It compresses like the crystals of blue ice, then falls away like a calving glacier.

Sequential optical images of high spatial resolution were used for the first time to derive surface ice velocities of Glaciar Upsala, a fast-moving fresh-water calving glacier in southern Patagonia.
