A six kilometer wide iceberg is detached from a glacier in eastern Greenland, the largest in more than ten years at this location.
Scientists controlling the state of the glacier captured the gigantic mass of ice on video on June 22, after weeks spent camping in the Helheim Glacier.
Professor David Holland, of New York University, said the video shows "three percent of Greenland's annual ice loss in 30 minutes", condensed into a shorter video with images accelerated.
"It seemed that rockets were exploding," he said, describing what he considered "a very complex, chaotic and noisy event"
Holland pointed out that "the real concern is Antarctica, where everything is so big that the risks are much higher. "
