A small settlement in Greenland is holding its collective breath as an iceberg of titanic proportions drifts dangerously close to shore — and residents’ homes.
For days now, the freakishly large frozen mass has been on a collision course with tiny Innaarsuit — leading local authorities to issue a warning to residents.
If the fearsome frosty float were to make contact with the shore or break apart, potential damage and injuries could follow, officials said.
Though it’s unlikely any broken ice chunks would fall directly on land, the impact of pieces of plummeting permafrost would create massive waves, which could sweep ashore.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Supposedly water from icebergs is tasty and clean. Don’t know if that’s true.
They couldn’t find a better adjective to describe a “really big iceberg”?
I’m calling my insurance company with a “Hey, my house hit an iceberg” complaint. It’s covered.

Titanic?
Only in theaters, premiering July 20th.
Oh, wait. This was real news.
Somebody let Hank Johnson know that this won’t sink Greenland or cause it to tip over.
We’re going to need a bigger ice chopper.
Why doesn’t Denmark take care of this for them?
how cool is that...
They don’t have to mow yards based on other pictures at the link. There is a better picture.
In the days of the ice man delivering for people ice boxes at home, sections of ice including from icebergs were cut with saws. Ice was stored in ice houses with sawdust or straw for the warmer months.
Aw, that looks like two friendly white dolphins wanting to say “Hi!”
"Fire up the hairdryer, Inga!!"
We’re going to need a bigger blender.
Bad week for a tsunami.
Get a big tugboat...
Is there no bottom? How did they get so close to shore??
Most of the iceberg is underwater. No way it reaches shore unless it a shear cliff.
Yikes...
Something not pleasant to find at your front door...
Wonder if they could be pushed (gently) back out of the harbor with a couple of those big sea-going tugs???
