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.

If Greenland has any brains they’ll use this for marketing and create some quick iceberg tours to rake in done badly needed tourism money...
plummeting permafrost
Permafrost? I don’t think so. Morons write this stuff.
Apparently, alliteration was more important to this idiot than word meaning. An iceberg does not have permafrost.
Is there some stupid white chick up front leaning forward?
🤔So they didn’t ‘just wake up to it’, they have known it was coming for days, still unnerving and frightening, but come on it’s supposed to journalism not creative writing.
True some places in England were importing it for drinks in bars was a big thing for a while.
Believe places in the middles still import it.
The Saudi’s want to buy it.
Companies exist that want to tow icebergs ashore to melt them for their fresh water. Guam ICE !
I suppose Guam would appreciate an iceberg more for fresh water than to tip over the island. LOL!
"Titanic iceberg" gets more clicks.
I forgot that Three Stooges classic with the ice. Thanks for the memory.
Oh, a wise guy.
Are you married or happy?
I resemble that.
