Me and two friends had paddled along Greenland's west coast and were there when this happened. We had tent on the other side of the cliff when the iceberg suddenly began to calve. And then everything happened quickly... In the middle of the movie you can see one of us coming up. All did well! An adventure to paddle with whales, but an adventure that ended in a rather unexpected way... Thanks to all the people who came to our rescue!
I was just going to post and ask what happened as you were there then instantly gone. I was hoping you were just in the ditch on the other side of the wave. That must have been freaky seeing that wave coming at you! I’m glad you’re both ok! Thanks for sharing.
This is, in fact, a tsunami. It's not covering the entire Pacific Ocean, but it is a real tsunami, caused by the sudden displacement of a large amount of water, as opposed to the normal waves created by wind.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 The point being that a tsunami is created. Unlike a surface swell, a tsunami displaces the entire water column, all the way to the seabed.
Gosh I'm a little worried about that tiny boat in the middle distance that seems to disappear into the trough of the wave. Hope no one was hurt by this. That berg is just immense. Hard to believe something that big is so unstable.
Once I saw that wave cresting I would have turned and ran like a bat out of hell screaming like a child. I expected the tsunami to be far bigger and far more powerful when it reached the camera man. I'm very surprised it was not.

That's not a "tsunami-like" wave. That is a tsunami. One of the largest tsunamis ever recorded occurred in a bay in Alaska in the fifties, by water displacement caused by a landslide, just like here. Anyway, amazing video!
The Small boats are out on the bay to save their fishing tools ,longlines ,hooks and tackles, - luckily no one drowned in first boat as seen in the start of the video , that's what he said in the comments in the video
@@FruPetersen2011 thank you 👍🏻 I didn't know if an event like that maybe raised the activity of the fish. I didn't think about fishing nets. The perspective of the camera almost makes it look like the fisherman aren't that far from shore but watching it again, they're farther out than I thought. Thank you for taking the time to answer me. I learned something ✌🏻♥️
This is a Tsunami..not "Tsunami-like"... sudden displacement of water caused by landslide, undersea or any huge object..exactly as happened here caused by huge iceberg

Nobody got hurt. But nature up there can be very dangerous. Some people from Western countries like France and Great Britain go diving underneath icebergs. No Greenlander would ever do that, and I think this illustrates exactly why!!

@ Daniela Kujundzic They might be looking to see if anybody got dragged out when the water receded. If people did, they won't last long in that cold water.
Don´t worry, nobody was hurt. The fishermen went out right away to save their catching equipment, but the tiny boat got away, before things went real bad..But still, SOME people die up there, every now and then because of these unstable, non-readable icebergs..and they ARE huge!! A size larger than a ten-story building isn´t uncommon.
It's not a tautology. For that to be true the words tsunami and wave would need to be synonyms. All tsunamis are waves, but not all waves are tsunamis. Therefore you can have a wave that is like a tsunami, and a wave that is not like a tsunami. In fact, this *is* a tsunami wave, but that doesn't make your point any less wrong.
@@autodidact2499 Actually, that proves you wrong, not me. Because Tsunami and Wave are still not synonyms are they, so how can it be a tautology? As I said, all tsunamis are waves, but not all waves are tsunamis. For this to be a tautology all waves would need to be tsunamis. You clearly need to go and look up the meaning of tautology. PS - anyone who resorts to abuse demonstrates they have no other argument, and have already lost. Now go away, little boy, and let the grown ups discuss this properly.

In Canada we've close to 10 billion dollars cleaning up the cities sewage sysytems, even though Montreal had to dump 10 billion liters of sewerage into the St. Lawrence River so they could expand their waste system.
In Canada, the governments has spend tens of billions of dollars over the last 20 years or so to treat all the waste, then Montreal dumped around 10 billion liters of sewerage into the St. Lawrence River, go figure.

I would’ve died of a heart attack seeing a wave that big coming towards me omg, this was terryfing to watch ;;;;
Dare devils always seem to expect to be saved and other people to risk their lives for them when they do their stupid actions.
Calving is the breaking of ice from a glacier. Not rotating, or flipping.
wow, such huge massive iceberg rolling. that was so impressive, must have been even scarier to watch first hand. Thanks for great vid

You're safer to be on a boat far out than on short in most cases
this video is one of the best glacier types, deserves far more views than 28k

Wondering if he who was standing on the other side were filming at 2:28 ?
Super video with a distinct lack of people wailing and screaming like banshees. So nice.
Jonesey ..... Great comment my friend!!
Nobody felt directly threatened. That does make a diffference. The man talking in this video has obviously seen this before and knew what to expect.

Lituya Bay! Been there. Fantastic reference.
Yep, 1700 feet incredible
This isn't a landslide.
Wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing!
Thanks for showing.
Mexico has the same sewer system. I've seen it. Beautiful beach houses and a 4" pipe leading down the cliff and under the sand to the waves.
Yeah I seen that too. Good thing the iceberg came in, they won't notice the pipe
Why do you leave us hanging with the small boat? I hate that. Awesome video nonetheless.
The Small boats are out on the bay to save their fishing tools ,longlines ,hooks and tackles,
- luckily no one drowned in first boat as seen in the start of the video , that's what he said in the comments in the video
They actually died. The wave slammed them into the rocks, killing them instantly.
Idiot!
TehDubster they not dead. they're fine
@@BiancaSalvaje Is it safe to go out into the waves in such small boats?
That is, in fact, half a mountain range just having a stretch. Amazing video.
great to hear the iceberg and the seas and not bloody people howling and behaving like 2 year olds as in most of these videos
K yes!! Well put sir
FANTASTIC video.
Wonder why all those boats went out there right after??? Does it make it easier to fish??
They were fishermen trying to save their fishing nets.

The sewage from the blue house was running straight into the water?
What happens to the boat? You can see it up until the 1.00 mark then it just kind of fades away and vanishes.
Is the videographer related to Jeff Sessions?
I just spend some amazing days in Hotel Arctic, Ilulissat and I learnt to love the environment, people, but most the wild dogs.

Very cool vid. Thank you!
@breadtacular No, the guy talking on the video says (in danish) that the boats which appear are the fishermen trying to save their lines.
What happens to the people in the boat?
Wow!!! Amazing!!! My recent holiday...I love Greenland!!!
ruclips.net/video/vFTD0rqL5Z0/видео.html
Jan 6, 2020. What about the boat that was in front of the iceberg?
Did anyone else notice the huge bridge as the camera panned over to the blue house? At 2:47 the bridge is in the top left corner.
Just saw it... wtf? That wasn't there before.
What is that in the top left corner at 2:47-2:48 ? At first it looks like part of the window blinds but...
That's just ridiculously massive
They speak Greenlandic and the man speaks Danish..I love the old lady´s voice. She says something, that is close to :" Dear me!" :-)
Watching this in 2020 wondering if any of that ice still there now.
yes contrary to climate alarmists the ice is still there and will be there for many,many years to come.
Even more today. Seriously. Don't believe all that global warming nonsense.
Those people in the boat😱
I can see there was a little boat in a long distance. What happened to them. Can they survive.
1:58, is there a person there?
What happened to the little boat ?
The first secounds are incredible..
Nobody got hurt. But nature up there can be very dangerous. Some people from Western countries like France and Great Britain go diving underneath icebergs. No Greenlander would ever do that, and I think this illustrates exactly why!!
Is this the wave that swept the campers out to sea? A tour guide mentioned this on a cruise in the fjord, I was curious if this is the footage...
Utrolig. Og hvilken garanti har man for at ikke bølgen ble 3 ganger større? Massivt isberg der.
This is fricking terrifying :O
Pretty impressive thanks for sharing!
Aren’t these displacement waves, not a tsunami?
I know, completely mind-boggling. Could you imagine if they had video phones when it happened? What a sight that would be.
What are those pipes? Does everyone pipe their sewage into the ocean?
eeew, I think they do, eeeeewwww
OK, THAT was impressive. Not often you see mountain sized things doing somersaults.
Wow, God. Pretty cool.

Forget the boats, watch in full screen and see a person standing on the oposite rocks from 2:24 to 2:30
man this is some sort of mega tsunami incredible footage!!!
anyone notice the man that randomly emerges from the wave ontop of the rocks to the left of the screen at 1:54? from that boat, perhaps?

What's that the pipe to the water from the house???
There is so huge iceberg turn it over again, to push the water out of it, It is crazy.
I hope these things are being monitored some
Good view of the rock bro thx
