veyr impressive, I was working in antarctica last winter and something similar hapened when a glacier calved. I was in the water near the beach with my zodiac and I sped away towards deeper water and I only felt a lump on the water, if I hadnt reacted I would have been crushed like the boats in that video

Foorene->This is in Uummannaq, North of Ilulissat - read the other posts.I was there as a police officer and on duty that night. No one was injured but a lot of boats were destroyed as you can see. Unfortunately the insurance did not cover as they claimed "force majeure".In fact, I'm still a police officer in Uummannaq.

@syounantube Yes, but if your watching your boat survive and everyone else's go to splinters then it's $CHA-CHING$ the price of fish just went up..

@starchaser28 Yes.. but at :49 there isn't a guy on the boat, so it's ok.
