Ilulissat, Greenland - Giant rolling Iceberg creates a tsunami like wave

[yan2292008]

The most frightning video of a tsunami wave you can see on you tube ...

[felixhausdorff]

The last thing said on the video (in danish): Apparently nobody drowned, not even the three persons in the boat.

[STEN3326]

Les gars dans le bateau ont toutes les chances d'avoir survécu. A condition que les lames ne défèrllent pas sur eux......

Pour sûr, il y a dù avoir une sacrée décharge d'adrénaline, car à cette échelle, la mer doit ressembler aux gorges du Verdon !!! Gros flippe!!

[z1d]

no way... :S

[mer191]

That is amazing

[sppammm]

Ej akso ǽblet det öttore? Skoene pad avinka statÿerit aj yssebroghe!

[lickmesideways1]

wow

[wk4cocacola]

Whoa...



[sunNbass]

This is "just" a Glacier. Imagine which power a moving tectonic plate has. *scary*

[21PRIMEMOVER12]

THE GUYS ON THE BOAT LIVED?????? NO WAY!!!!!!

[lachicalove1]

The thing i think is even more stupid is that people stay left ..to see in one klick your gone..water is unpredictble

เชิญคนที่ทำให้โลกร้อน มาดูน้ำแข็งขั่วโลกละลาย กันให้เข้าใจ ว่าคุณทำให้เดือดร้อนแก่มวลมนุษ­ย์ขนาดไหน

[surferaroulet]

oh le con..il a raté le ptit bateau

[kingiescastel]

this video is one of the best glacier types, deserves far more views than 28k

[breadtacular]

Suddenly all these boats appear. "Hey, it's a massive iceberg causing massive waves. Let's go touch it."

[felixhausdorff]

@breadtacular No, the guy talking on the video says (in danish) that the boats which appear are the fishermen trying to save their lines.

[breadtacular]

@felixhausdorff Ok, sorry. My point was, even for legitimate purposes, it's foolhardy to go towards the thing. Thus, my joke. (It's in quotation marks, but it's not actually meant to be a quote!! It's called a "sentiment" or a "this is what it seems like," and is not meant to be taken as someone trying to translate something for real.)

[zestydude87]

thats a big fuckin piece of ice

[bristoc]

This is not a tsunami like wave! It is a tsunami!!!!

[Firesong01]

leave it to mother nature to remind us exactly how tiny we really are

There's a guy not in any danger of anyone stealing his copyrighted boring video.

[Firesong01]

excellent footage thank you!!!

[tj526]

anyone notice the man that randomly emerges from the wave ontop of the rocks to the left of the screen at 1:54? from that boat, perhaps?

[Telbedier]

Some guy runs up to the top of the rock at 1:54!

Ruunnnn!

[kevincanary]

But why it roll like that?



[1jimmycrusher]

@kevincanary - i think they roll cause the top side (above the surface) becomes heavier than the base (underwater), which erodes faster.. ?! (i think)

[1tinysheep]

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BOAT AT 1:00 ?? IS EVERYONE OK?

[radicaledwards]

If that's what a tiny chunk of glacier can do, God knows what a meteor will mean for us all . . .

[andresantis1973]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!

[SquidgyMcGee]

if you where in that boat you would shit your pants



[isaiahgava]

Id be like

*Jaw drop*

"...Oh shis is gonna be cool.."

xD

[Billabongbargains]

I just spend some amazing days in Hotel Arctic, Ilulissat and I learnt to love the environment, people, but most the wild dogs.

What a big contrast to Brisbane, Australian.

[surferaroulet]

le cameraman est un peu a la traine sur ce coup.

[kris864b]

A BIG tsunami!

[TheRadicalLiberal]

I guess you don' t want to have a house right on the water if you live in Greenland.

[dpjaexp]

Thank you for bringing this amazing happening to us, via the computer. I really hope to come for a visit sometime!

[AlexCS95]

oooooo shit! im the neighbour of Erik BjerregAARD!x d

[FaridElhanMalaysia]

What the... (mcm cite omputeh dah hehe)

[LeathanL]

Gosh I'm a little worried about that tiny boat in the middle distance that seems to disappear into the trough of the wave. Hope no one was hurt by this. That berg is just immense. Hard to believe something that big is so unstable.

[dpjaexp]

@LeathanL I agree - I thought I was seeing things...goodness.

[blaabyman]

@LeathanL dang he went right in there didnt he? i dont have much hope for that boat.

[RSKorosiya]

@LeathanL The last sentence, thats what she said!

[evrgrnn5280]

damn thats crazy, its a huge wave.
