A newly shared recording captured at daybreak in Ilulissat, Greenland, shows an iceberg splitting apart, with slabs of deep blue ice crashing into the sea and sending waves across the surrounding water. The footage, recorded by Richard Sidey, also picks up the deep creaks and rumbles as the ice fractures. Viewers are sharing it as a striking illustration of glacial calving in one of Greenland's most active icefjord regions.

Why now: Striking natural footage of iceberg calving resonates amid ongoing attention to melting ice and climate change.
