A stunning but terrifying video...

A stunning but terrifying video…

Ice is dangerous and can lead to serious injury, that’s what our common sense tells us and here’s some more proof in case you don’t believe us.

If a little piece of ice on a footpath can do that then a big lump of ice, or as it’s better known an iceberg, is somewhere to avoid but not if you’re a professional ice climber.

Yeah, professional ice climbing is a thing and two of the best, Klemen Premrl and Aljaz Anderle, recently tried to reach the summit of an iceberg in Greenland’s Disko Bay.

The icebergs up there are very fragile and unstable and the guys found out the hard way.

The is as scenic a video as you’ll see this week but also utterly terrifying (Skip ahead to 8.19 for the good stuff).
