Climate change is increasingly present on our planet. This week, the neighbors of the Canadian island of Newfoundland have suffered the consequences of this phenomenon: a giant iceberg has moved closer to the coastal houses of the island. All a danger.
It is not the first time that the waters of Newfoundland have faced icebergs, since in 1912 the island witnessed the sinking of the famous Titanic in which more than 1,500 passengers died.
The Newfoundland Sea has more than 40,000 specimens of icebergs; However, it is not common for these blocks of ice to get so close to the coast, where thousands of residents live, endangering both their homes and their lives.
The video, which has already captured the attention of netizens on social networks, shows how the giant iceberg sails towards the coast of Newfoundland, causing its neighbors to panic.
The main people affected have been the residents of the houses closest to the sea, who got quite a scare when they observed the block of ice slowly approaching through their windows. Currently, observing ice fragments is one of the main tourist activities on the island, as long as they are smaller.
This detachment could be due to the drop in temperatures caused by global warming, a phenomenon that currently keeps ice at record lows due to the increase in degrees on the earth’s surface.
