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.

I suggest we combine this new war on Ice with the ongoing war on Stupidity. It's easy, offer this iceberg as target practice for NRA members. A quick look suggests that Greenland won't have to change their gun laws to any great extent,

That low population country already has plenty of guns--
