'We survived. But that was insane.' A kayaker's incredible footage captures the moment part of Alaska's Spencer Glacier suddenly collapsed into the sea.
Andrew Hooper's wife had warned him about getting too close to an Alaska glacier. She wasn't pleased, he said, when he returned from a kayaking trip earlier this month soaked to the bone but with incredible footage of part of the giant glacier's sudden and dramatic collapse.
After paddling around for a while, Hooper said he heard a cracking noise near the glacier. They turned on their GoPro cameras and began filming. Alaska's average temperature in July was 58.1 degrees , or 5.4 degrees above average, NOAA said. It beat the previous warmest month of July 2004 by 0.8 degrees .
