You don’t see this every day

Here’s something a bit less rare than the Venus transit but unusual nonetheless.

It’s video of a large iceberg tipping over.

The video was posted to YouTube in March by a user called osibaruch.

“This Iceberg was ‘calved’ by Argentina’s Uppsala glacier,” osibaruch wrote. “While we were passing by it with a catamaran, the huge berg lost a part of itself (look at the right side sinking) and then flipped over with a huge roar. In the process of melting this happens all the time, but it is seldom that it is captured on video WHEN it happens.”
