Iceberg Right Ahead!








You know that a collision with an iceberg led to the sinking of the RMS Titanic.  You have heard all about icebergs in science class.  They are huge, beautiful and when they split apart they are loud!  If you have seen one up close and personal, they are simply fantastic and awesome to behold.  Imagine that you are on a boat and saw one split and then flip over.  Would you be impressed, maybe scared a little?  A tourist off the coast of Argentina was able to do just that.  Let's all watch the video.  Now, read the news article.  What do you think?  Pretty scary or did you have another impression?  Have a great weekend!

I think I would be a little scared. I would not know what to do. It looks pretty cool to watch but I would not want to be up close with it when that happens.

If I saw an iceberg split then flip over, I would be both impressed and a little scared. It seems so cool to see in person. I would love to see one spilt and flip over in person! The video was a little scary but cool at the same time. I kinda want to go somewhere and see one split then flip over now!

I think that it is pretty cool. It seems to be a really beautiful place where this video was taken. It would be pretty cool to see something like that happen in person.

I honestly would be scared out of my wits if I were there. Because if an iceberg sunk the Titanic I would never ever go on a boat again. Because I could die if i ever hit one iceberg.

I thought it was pretty cool. It would have been a little scary if you were to close. And I bet it was really loud if you were there.

If that was me I would be a little scared but it was pretty cool. It would be cool to see it happen in person. But I would stay far away from it.

I think that it is really cool to watch. That is probably a once in a life time experience. I bet this tourist was very excited to catch it on tape.

I thought that was pretty impressive. I would honestly be a little scared if I saw a iceberg split in half.

I think it would be amazing to see in person. It would also be very scary. But I think it would have been worth the scare.

The iceberg is really amazing to watch; the reason being is because the size of the iceberg cannot be seen completely from the water, at least on the surface. The water hides the massiveness of the marvelous creation. I would be amazed to see this in person, just not to close!

I think it was really cool. That is probably one in a billion chance to see that happen. I would have loved to see it in person, its amazing.

I would definantly be a little scared. I mean how many people get to be that close to an enormouse block of ice breaking. From what the video showed I would have been scared out of my wits.

If I ever see a iceberg in person I would probably be a little scared. Icebergs are huge and I would hate to hit one. But overall it would be pretty awesome to see one.

If I saw a iceberg break in half I would be impressed, because its something that i have never seen before. I would also be scared because of the wave that it can create. It's pretty cool tho.

I think it would be something great to see, not only because of the fact that it will be something that many people have not seen, but also it is very beautiful to watch. This was a pretty cool video. The only thing that I personally disliked about the video is that the video-taker appeared to be filming from an enclosed area of the boat, and unfortunately I personally was unable to actually hear the roar that he speaks of in the caption below the video.
