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.
That’s just the tip.
All because of that darn climate change.
CLIMATE THING!!!!!!!
Our new stealth subs….
Tow it out to sea? Bomb it and break it up?
People pondering potential pieces of perilously plummeting permafrost.
Many years ago, in the early 1980s, I observed an iceberg that was grounded close to shore, about 300 yards from shore, about one quarter mile South of the Town of Twillingate , Newfoundland. It took the entire summer to melt and reduced the ambient temperature of the town by 10 degrees F for a couple of months.

Is the iceberg that sank the Titanic still out there?
And can we get it to write its memoirs?
Apparently it’s now in Greenland. We’ll need some Titanic paint transfer marks to prove it, though.
If you feed them, they will never go away.
Watch out for the polar bears and snow goons on shore leave!
Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
You can actually see some of the iceberg below the surface!
That’s cool. 😉
90% underwater.
My Grandfather was born in 1909. He as a kid helped cut blocks of ice from the lake in our town in Winter, sawing them manually like you say. The rest of the year he helped deliver ice, coal, and kerosene by horse and wagon.
I remember my Dad telling me about the iceman delivering ice in a wagon when he was a kid. To his dying day, he called a refrigerator an "ice box." He would have turned 108 today.
Hank Johnson was worried that with global warming Iceland could break off and slam into Greenland.
