Iceberg Collapses and Flips over in Ilulissat, Greenland (July 25, 2026) [video]

Beautiful and scary at the same time. Almost like the iceberg was a planet on its own with mountains, valleys, crevices. Then everything goes haywire. The fall of a majestic titan. The destruction of a world.

Massive appreciation for whoever adjusted the position of the camera at 7:23 (3:18 in video)

I would have thought it would generate enormous wave, but that's clearly not the case. I think some of the biggest waves was generated by a mountain sliding or collapsing in the sea. I expected something similar here. Anyone know why not?

Surprised the bottom of the iceberg crumbled so easily (like sand) at 4m 16s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UufMqwyO7pY&t=4m16s

I'd have assumed it would be colder and more compacted (being toward the bottom and further under water), and therefore harder.

Crazy how the most liked comment under the video as of now discusses AI video generation

I felt like watching a big animal moving

Anyone who enjoys that video (I did!) should watch the largest glacier calving ever recorded: https://youtu.be/hC3VTgIPoGU

Can more experienced people describe how to verify this video as non-AI generated? Is there a scientific source in Greenland or Denmark that tracks such incidents? Or could satellite passes before vs after confirm what happened?

Nice of the iceberg to float into frame before decided to do it's gymnastics routine.

It stops first? Maybe the bottom hit the seafloor?

Reminds me of a 'mimoid' from Stanisław Lem's Solaris.

4:40, so this is where people came up with the idea for Godzilla.

Gotta say, I haven't seen anything this jawdropping in a long while.

Honestly, my first thought watching this video is "I want a root beer float." Something in the way the icefalls as the iceberg is flipping over just makes me think of that...

Structural review clearly got skipped. Somebody is losing their job over this.

I would have described flipping it over before collapsing. The title seems a clickbait, but is no quite that. Keep in mind that most of the iceberg is off camera, as shown during the first minutes. It lost 80% or 90% of its total mass but most of it isn't seen until the end, when the iceberg goes back to the right.

now that's epic!

I was expecting more waves. I am wondering if this video was AI generated. I hate that it is so hard to trust your eyes nowadays…

Edit: Did a quick background check, video seems legit.
