What you are about to see will astonish, amaze and make you feel pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It also may remind you that a scientific consensus around global warming doesn't mean most scientists are crazy.
According to the Guardian, it's the largest iceberg break-up ever caught on video -- and we're certainly in no position to disagree.
The incredible footage comes from filmmaker Jason Balog, who's producing a movie called Chasing Ice about the effects of climate change on the Arctic. It shows 7.4 cubic kilometers (that's about 1.8 cubic miles) noisily separating from Greenland's Ilulissat glacier.
