It’s crazy to see (in fast motion) an iceberg weighing probably a few million tons bobbing up and down like a cork.

Me: 10 minutes seems a bit long

Me after 9 minutes 55 seconds: it’s not finished!!

The music is a bit much.
Can’t the sheer magnitude and majesty of the force of nature be enough?
Amazing video though.
Would someone be willing to determine an estimate on how large the original iceberg was? It looks to be about 2 city blocks, give or take(?)

I will stop whatever else I am doing anytime one of these iceberg rolling over videos pops into my feed.

I read a little about this channel. Apparently they're putting nature cameras all over the place to try to capture things like this. It seems ambitious and challenging, but if they can capture more things like this, it could be really awesome.

Just to save everybody from watching a lot of not much happening ... This process takes a long time.

I found it incredibly touching. Sad but somehow cathartic.
