Imagine taking a scenic trip to Iceland and standing on the shore admiring the frosted landscape around you—when suddenly huge slabs of ice fall from a glacier across the water create a gigantic wave of water that rushes towards you and threatens to wash everything away.
About "a dozen people in a glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland" don't have to try to imagine that—because they found themselves in just that precarious situation. *
The good news is that all of them "appear to have made it to safety and no one was reported injured."

"Stephen Mantler, a mountain guide for the Háfjall tour company, captured the footage. He described the calving as 'one of the largest and closest we've seen this winter!'
'Also, a good illustration why we always tell our clients to immediately leave the beach if the glacier calves,' he added."
Thanks as always for stopping by
See you again soon......
