SOLO CAMPING on an ICEBERG!

[@oxygensun6403]

You underestimated the risk, when camping on that iceberg. I have spent many years in the Arctic watching them, not just roll, without warning, but also collapsing in the middle, or have large chunks falling off. This happens much more frequently, than you suggest in the video, especially during the summer. That berg could have rolled as soon as you set foot on it, or one hour later, or five, you just can’t tell, in advance. What often happens, is that it it is slowly melting on one side, more than the other. It then rolls into a new stable position, very suddenly, and without warning. This means that your tent becomes a death trap. Even just standing on it, near the edge is more risky than it appears. There are often underwater, horizontal "shelves", extending some distance out from the berg, These can be, far enough below the surface, so that you can't see them from the water surface. When the berg rolls, even though you might be in your kayak near the berg, and not on it, you will be caught up on that hidden ice shelf, and trapped underwater, unable to escape. I’m saying this for the safety of other watchers, who might be tempted to follow your example, thinking the risk is much lower than it really is.

[@arianaholiccc]

this is very helpful. Tanks a bunch!

[@dancingtrout6719]

or a ship can hit it that doesnt have enough Life Boats\\🤣

[@Dirlewanger.]

Shut up Karen. People will live their lives regardless if YOU don't like it. No one cares. Stay in your bubble and let people live.

[@RapidGW]

Man I spent 30 years around the glaciers of Southeast Alaska. I can't tell you how many icebergs I've seen roll. One rolled near the Mendenhall Glacier and two people drowned, and I've seen others roll all over SE Alaska. Camping on an iceberg is a really bad idea. Now camping on a glacier, now that is a different story - highly recommend if you have some trining.

[@kemhughes5895]

That is so scary…

[@TravelersTale]

I’ve done both now…even though it’s sketchy, iceberg camping takes the cake.

[@Chillaxing113]

Ok, now you've done it, survived, and most of all you enjoyed it and made memories to last a lifetime. You've definitely got bragging rights now. Enjoy it! Just don't do it again. 😁 AND most of all thank you for sharing it with us.

[@tanyars3399]

I was thinking the same thing, icebergs are very unpredictable.

[@thomasrobinson117]

[@justinblanche4425]

Now I want to braai there. Actually South Africans want to Braai everywhere

[@Bluebloods7]

I love that you're brutally honest with yourself; knowing the risks you're taking and weighing the rewards, without being totally irresponsible and throwing all caution to the wind. Could the worst still happen even if only because of sheer bad luck? Yes, but you've clearly decided that the rewards are worth those risks.

[@TravelersTale]

Exactly. To be honest, the odds of something terrible happening in one night are relatively low but never 0.

[@insaynbcr]

Risk for reward is one thing (and I am guilty of such as well). However, when I take these risks, I also take into consideration "will I be putting someone elses life at risk as well if something goes south real quick"? Relying on the Coast Guard as a fail safe without removing as many risk factors as possible can be deemed selfish. I did not see a PFD, but it is possible to wear an inflatable under a loose jacket. Then there is dressing appropriately for the water temperature, not the air temperature. In the event of a kayak capsize event. Without a PFD, very slim chance of finding a flipped over kayak paddler. In 45-60°F water, you have very few attempts to get back into a kayak before extremities are useless regardless of how awesome of a swimmer or shape you are in. Water that is right up against freezing, your time to reboard a kayak is reduced to a handful of seconds. Everyone's adventure (including my own) should take other folks lives into consideration. I am so glad we are able to see this adventure from the traveler himself, and not from the news.

[@WeAreLegion-]

He "woke up" in the exact same spot. I almost doubt he even slept there overnight looked like a shader to me. What a tool.

[@Bluebloods7]

@@WeAreLegion- you're so upset 😢

[@RunRun458]

Wait a minute I'm not stupid and I'm a critical thinker. If all the water around a so called iceberg is running how did the " iceberg " come to be in the first place? How can ice form on top of running water if the temperature is higher than the "iceberg " , the temperature of the water would melt the ice. The whole body of water would have to be ice even then you wouldn't have big giant ice mountains jump on top of the water like that,,,,,how did that happen? And how long has the so called iceberg been there 🤔 ? They got busted this is CGI icebergs don't exist prove me wrong I DARE YOU!

All Glory to God. Always be Thankful for his Blessings. ✝️🙏🏻🙌🏻 Only JESUS can Save you! He is the ONLY way! JOHN 14:6 kjv 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Anyone reading this that hasn't accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, please do so now. He Loves you so much and he is on his way to receive his Bride, the Church, we who are Saved. Please, before it's too late. JOHN 3:16-18 kjv 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. THE GOSPEL 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 kjv 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures ROMANS 10:9-10 kjv 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. JESUS LOVES "YOU"! ✝️❤🙏🏻🙌🏻☝🏼
