It looks like something badly CGI'd into a disaster movie, but it's real: an 11 million ton iceberg, slowly moving toward a village, threatening to destroy everything in its path.
Just look at this thing.
A massive section of the iceberg falls off at around 30 seconds in, which gives you a sense of the scale here. If the iceberg becomes destabilised, and a larger chunk is broken off, it could create a tsunami, which could potentially destroy the town of Innaarsuit. This sped up GIF does a good job of illustrating the iceberg's movement.

The iceberg drifted a bit away from Innaarsuit few days ago after hitting ground, so the local grocery store has been allowed to open for one hour a day. And only adults capable of walking (running) should go there to buy stuff. Interestingly relaxed approach to possible doom, but I suppose that you can assume people there are used to dealing with nature not being friendly.

You're probably right. They're probably accustomed to icebergs the way Kansans are to tornadoes and San Franciscans are to earthquakes.
