The dramatic incident was captured on video by a mountain guide.
A group of tourists visiting a glacier in Iceland on Sunday were in for a shock when huge chunks of ice broke off and slammed into an adjacent lagoon, causing a large wave which forced them to run for higher ground.
The dozen or so sightseers in the tour group—who were standing on the shores of the lagoon below the ridge—can then be seen frantically running away from the water as a large wave emerged and began racing toward them. Fortunately, by the time it crashed against the shore, all the tourists had managed to flee the danger zone.
In a comment below the video of the incident on Facebook, one user from Taiwan said: “I was one of the tourists in the video. Before the glacier collapse happened, our tour guide told us when we heard ‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’ we have to run, run, run. Thanks the tour guide for saving our lives.”
