Foundering Iceberg in Twillingate Newfoundland
This video captures a spectacular view of a multi-storey iceberg breaking apart in Spillers Cove, Twillingate. Twillingate is also known as the Iceberg Capital of the World. This sleepy fishing village sees numerous of these frozen ancient giants drift down iceberg alley each year and visitors travel from afar to Newfoundland Canada to witness these awe-inspiring phenomena each year. This giant iceberg broke apart on Saturday 5 July 2008 at 3:45 pm in full view of a group of tourist specators who hiked out to the point to view the iceberg - one of the last of the season - and Mother Nature responded with this perfectly timed show. Much of the sound in the video comes from the release of trapped gas in the ice which is made up of age-old pure fresh water. More about the community where this took place at www.twillingate.com

Incredible video! How lucky we were to be there that day at that time, and your video is a remarkable documentary. My brief videos--shot with an ordinary camera--are posted too, but they can't compare to this. Especially good is how your were filming when the collapse began. --Batavicus
Awesome, well done to Wilma for filming this and sharing with us. TY.
I caught a colapse like just off Signal Hill A couple of years ago. I don't leave home without my camera anymore. Yours has such terrific audio; the way it cracks as it sunders. Well done!
Wow incredible 💖
Wow! Spectacular! I experienced something similar on my 13th. birthday in NL. I was on a huge iceberg, decided it was too slippery & used a paddle of the rowboat to push myself off...I heard a creak & knew I was in trouble. I rowed like a maniac watching it topple over, waves were huge, when the waves started, I stopped & let the boat roll with the waves until it calmed down. I didn't tell Mom till I was in my 30;s!! haha I think she was still scared!! LOL
I am pretty sure that's the iceberg I saw there in June '08. Wow - I wish I was there when it was doing that. Just incredible.
Spring has sprung!
Wicked... wish I was there to see it in person!
Me too! After a while it becomes hard to imagine youvwere the one standing right there when it happened!
Truly cool.

One of the best foundering shots I have ever seen. Too bad the resolution is so low. Makes a big difference. I shot this one in 4K. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKado7Jyn5TUkrw.html

This brings to my mind that section of Patrick Kavanaugh's "Gaff Topsails" when the boys are out fooling around on a berg in the harbor... I was sure it would flip over at any turn of the page!
