Okay, so seeing an iceberg flip over in person is actually super rare, which is exactly why the passengers who witnessed this very event on Dec. 8 of last year are oh-so-stoked at their luck! While they were traveling past a massive iceberg, it began to slowly flip over entirely. Catch a glimpse of this awesome moment in the video below!
“This iceberg phenomenon is rare and known as ‘iceberg calving.’ It is the breaking of ice chunks from a glacier,” the caption for this video explains. “If the center of gravity of the chunk is high enough, it can even flip over the ice chunk.”
Lucky Boat Passengers Capture the Breathtaking Moment an Iceberg Flips Over Entirely
Can you imagine what it would be like to witness an iceberg completely flip over? It’s no wonder everyone on board can be heard expressing their total amazement. Because, at the end of the day, videos of icebergs can never capture the magnitude of their size. In fact, at least one iceberg has proven to be the size of Rhode Island!
“More like an island than an iceberg,” someone points out in the comment section of the video, with another person adding, “Once in a lifetime moment.”
This is far from the only time travelers were lucky enough to witness such a cool moment. For example, this group witnessed an iceberg pop up out of nowhere!
