Chunk of Stray Iceberg Looming Over Greenland Town Collapses Into Ocean

Residents evacuated their homes on the coast of Innaarsuit, off western Greenland, as a 300-foot-tall iceberg came dangerously close to the island, floating within 100 meters of their village on July 12.

Villagers told the Greenlandic Broadcasting Corporation (KNR) that they had never seen such a large iceberg so close to the island before.

Reuters reported that the village had a population of 170 people.
