Without a dramatic splash the image, whilst being in a difficult and cold location and the effort to get here immense, is rather flat. It's not yet telling a compelling story such as global warming. Maybe a minute later it did but your ship had moved on. Some ice fell, and I'm sure it was a moment you will never forget but what's being shown is just too little to be momentous in the picture. NG photography to me is all about a new angle, a moment, a feeling, something thought provoking or a picture to back up the article and I don't think this has enough of that to be accepted. 'Calve' to me is to give birth to a calf. No doubt I'm not the first to point this out. Did you mean 'About to cave in'?
ETA Post Rollover: OK I'm an ass and I learnt something new today. Apologies for the "Calve" Faux Pas. I did look it up but totally missed it.
