Make sure you've got some clean underwear at the ready...

Named after the delicious HB icepop of the same name, icebergs are undoubtedly a beautiful but terrifying force of nature. YouTuber riickstead managed to capture one of these scary moments on camera in Canada recently, explaining "My husband and I were admiring the magnificent structure of the arch of this huge iceberg, when suddenly it collapsed and created a large tidal wave of chunks of ice rushing towards us!" Naturally, she and her husband decided to get the fook out of there as fast as possible, letting out a bloodcurdling scream of "GO! GO! GOOOOOO!" as the resulting wave sped towards them. Insert your obligatory "Damn nature, you scary" reference here... even though it the footage isn't scary in any way whatsoever. Still though, you might as well watch it while you're here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEk5mNVc2Hk
