Slow Pan Across a Tidewater Glacier Face Beneath Snowy Peaks — Clip Details

Coastal Alaska, circa 1982, home movie footage of a tidewater glacier seen from the water. The shot opens on the glacier curving down a valley between dark mountainsides to a broad face, with a dark rock mound at its foot and small ice pieces floating in calm water. The camera pans slowly left to right along the front toward a steep slope marked with snow patches. It is filmed on Super 8 with a strong blue colour cast and visible grain.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Supplies a circa 1982 home-movie view of an Alaska tidewater glacier for climate, travel history or natural science productions needing period small-gauge landscape footage.
Period detail: The frame holds no dated objects, but the Super 8 stock and its heavy blue colour shift may show the look of amateur colour film from the early 1980s.
Home-movie behavior: This is a visitor's view from the water, a slow sweeping pan that tries to take in the whole ice front the way a traveller would on a boat trip.
What appears in frame: The frames show a broad crevassed glacier face, a curving ice tongue descending a valley, a dark rock mound at its foot, small floating ice in calm water, and dark mountainsides with snow patches under a pale sky.
Film character: Super 8 grain, soft focus and a strong blue cast turn the ice violet and the sky cyan, giving the landscape a cold, dreamlike archival texture.
Edit role: Works as an establishing shot for an Alaska trip sequence, a scenic transition, or a memory beat in a story about glaciers then and now.
Historical context: Tidewater glaciers in coastal Alaska were visited by boat, and this clip records one such ice front as an amateur filmmaker saw it, without naming the fjord.
Research note: No people, faces, logos or signs appear in the clip; copyright in the original home movie is separate from any location issue, and licensing runs through Stockfilm's terms.
Research search match: Researchers might search for Super 8 Alaska glacier 1980s, vintage tidewater glacier from boat, or archival glacier face home movie.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with this reel's floating glacial ice, kayakers in a fjord and backpackers on a gravel beach, then with other Alaska coast footage circa 1982, then with glacier and mountain landscapes.
