Iceberg threatens tiny village

 

A massive iceberg has drifted towards the remote village of Innaarsuit on Greenland’s western coast, threatening the 169 residents with potentially deadly flooding.

Video footage recorded in the village in recent days shows a large chunk of ice breaking off the roughly 100-metre iceberg and crashing into the ocean, sending large waves toward the village.

A danger zone close to the coast has been evacuated and residents have been moved further up a steep slope where the settlement lies.

Watch the amazing footage here:

The news is good at the moment. Perhaps a disaster will be averted.

I would love to see that iceberg my sweet

I wouldn't like to be living there under those circumstances. Ice breaking off is bad enough but it's the tsunami type waves that would be the biggest concern for me. Hope they are okay.

 

There is only a few people living in the village of Innaarsuit ... a lot more people were killed in  floods in Japan

Nope the iceberg is real.

The man sitting on the top is fake!

The iceberg is real, but the picture has been doctored to make it appear much closer to shore.
