Exploding iceberg showers tourists with ice shards

March 12, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

A boat tour by Wilhemina Bay in Antarctica took an interesting turn when a nearby iceberg exploded causing shards of ice to fly towards the tourists.

The video below is loud, watch your speakers but certainly listen as the guide warns that the fear is these icebergs wouldn’t last one more year. One tourist points out that this particular iceberg didn’t seem likely to last the day as large chunks of ice started to drop off.

“Why don’t we just stay here and watch it,”

They do exactly that – but only for a few seconds. The iceberg implodes, crashing down onto icy waters which results in an explosion of shards hurling towards the boat. The captain guns the engine to dodge the bulk of the impact.

Is climate change a real thing – or has it been made up by a liberal media or emerging markets looking to hold back certain western economies?
