Antarctic Iceberg’s Epic Collapse

Tweet

Comments

Sometimes, eco tourists get lucky. They witness a kill on the Serengeti, eye a Quetzal in the cloud forests of Nicaragua or catch a once-in-a-lifetime swell off Tavarua.

Or they get showered by the flying shrapnel of an exploding Antarctic iceberg.

These onlookers really got it good. They are just close enough to feel the booming spectacle in their guts, and just distant enough to motor away unscathed.

Unfortunately, scenes like this may become rarer and rarer as global climate change decimates the arctic. We can only hope icebergs exist long enough to ensure the next several generations can enjoy a thrill like the one in the video above.
