Filmmaker Richard Sidey recorded the moment an iceberg split apart near Ilulissat, Greenland, at dawn. Giant slabs of blue ice collapsed into the sea, triggering fractures that sent waves across the surrounding water, accompanied by deep creaks and rumbles. The striking footage of the calving event is being shared and discussed online.

Why now: Dramatic natural footage of an iceberg calving in Greenland is visually striking and draws attention to glacial retreat.
