Arctic Glacier collapses . Too close for comfort

the whole vast river of ice is on the move slowly inexorably toppling into the sea sometimes in small lumps sometimes much bigger ones given that fact it's obviously not that great to be actually under the ice front with a broken engine there we got hooked on a piece of ice between the underwater out can we get out of here how high do you reckon valleys 4050 metres that is an enormous block right at the top that whole front is gonna go at some point I want to see that again come very often that that these cars it's truly rare it may be a great place for the Bears to find food but it's also a potential death trap to be honest that was just a bit too close for comfort

Watching a piece of ice the size of a building collapse into the sea? That's cute!

Here's Kealii Mamala surfing a glacial wave. First part shows glacier collapsing and a poor shot of the ride.

50 seconds in shows a better view of the ride.

Damn, if their boat had been located a meter or two on either side of where they were this would have been a much more tragic video.

The look on the dude's face as he turns forward the last time...

it's like when they just made it through the closing doors in Independence Day. Awesome video!
