April 1, 2019

Tourists take enormous risks when it is natural to witness a natural phenomenon in the first person, but this time the tragedy happened to them nearby.

The incredible fact happened to Iceland A group of tourists was at the edge of the lagoon Jökulsárlónwhen a glacier began to split and they lived very close to how these huge blocks of ice were falling into the water. This experience will never be forgotten, but it could become a tragedy for those present.

The images in the video show how visitors stand on the shores and relish the magnitude of the glacier Breidamerkurjokull. They were standing on the coastal rocks of the lagoon when this huge block of ice began to break and everyone captured that moment with their cameras.

Although this rupture caused the fall of these icy mbades on the water, causing big waves, the tourists had to flee quickly from this place. The waves went directly to these shores and, if they had not been made in time, they could have surprised the visitors who had come there and caused a tragedy.

Who filmed this video in dialogue with the British media Daily mail: "This area is only accessible with mountain guides and all the people shown in the video had been instructed to leave the beach immediately in case of a break. "
