Large Iceberg Breaking near Ilulissat

Iceberg breaking up in the Ilulissat icefjord, close to an archaeological site called Sermermiut.

**A quick note - some of the external links to this video have mixed information. To be more precise, this is a large iceberg breaking up, which had already calved from the icecap. The large ones often collect at the end of the fjord, where it is a bit shallower. The NASA image at the end of the video shows this a bit more clearly**

Thanks for turning around and showing us the hillside

[docrobinson]

Wow!! Great photography. Loved how you shook the ca.era & moved it away from every captivating event just as it began to happen.

When continent sized iceburg breaks and proceeds to roll, camera man takes video of mountain side. Beautiful!

[ginawiggles]

Great camera work. And oh yeah....the grassy hillside was *AMAZING!*
So, I wonder what happened with the iceberg?

The first time I watched this I was talking out loud, telling you to pan and zoom etc. Now I am just grateful to have seen this raw footage...thank-you. It was smart to get some good ground, that was a massive roll that berg did.

This is the type of person would film first contact with aliens, camera rock steady but when the UFO appears they decide to have an epileptic fit.

Wow. That must have really been sumthin. Wish I could have seen it

[henzelmen]

So sorry you miss the best part! Rule no1: STAY PUT and keep filming when something big is happening.

Wait until the best part and then point the camera at the sky, brilliant move. Let’s go Brandon!!

Apart from actually missing the break, this is pretty good proof of the 10% ice floating above water and 90% below

Thanks for not playing music background, I was able to hear the powerful sound of water
