Greenland coastal village bracing for potential collision with giant iceberg
INNAARSUIT, GREENLAND, JUL 11 – The iceberg's unusual stillness near Innaarsuit raises risks of sudden breakage and tsunami-like waves that could damage homes, officials said the village has fewer than 200 residents.
- On Monday, a gigantic iceberg drifted dangerously close to Innaarsuit, Greenland, matching the Titanic in scale.
- Remaining unnervingly still, the iceberg defied normal drift patterns, as local worker Dennis Lehtonen said it has hovered near the harbor for about a week, sparking concern.
- As a precaution, the local fish processing factory closed, and the Avannaata Municipality urged families to avoid group trips and for those with mobility issues to be extra careful.
- With the iceberg looming, authorities cautioned about tsunami-like swells, as debris from a strike or shattering could trigger massive waves capable of washing away low-lying homes, posing immediate structural harm.
- Moving forward, emergency teams stand by while authorities continue to monitor closely without ruling out evacuation should conditions worsen.
