Can't figure out to embed, but this is sick. Basically the glacier looses a chunk (on the right in the beginning of the video) which then causes the balance of the iceburg/glacier to shift and proceeds to flip. Enjoy!

Nature is a beautiful and majestic thing. And yes, very rare for something like this to be caught on tape. If I was driving that boat I'd be hoping the fucking thing wasn't going to flip and expose a new part under the ship!

imagine if it hit the boat cause the part under the water is the biggest part of an iceberg, you'd never be able to know where it is or how big it is.

cool vid none the less

I would hazard a guess that a large chunk broke off shifting the centre of mass to a point above the waterline.  Amazing footage.

this is actually disneyland: greenland. instead of it being called the happiest place on the earth, their slogan is "damn it snows a lot here. who the fuck named us greenland?"
