Tourists in Iceland, who were visiting the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier in Vatnajökull National Park, were seen running for safety after a glacier collapse triggered a large wave. AdvertisingThe 42-second video, which was posted on Facebook by Hafjall, showed the sudden collapse of the glacier as unaware tourists ran to safety. Talking about the incident, Mantler told the news website that the area was only accessible to tourists with a trained mountaineer. According to ABC News, around 10 people were seeing the glacier when it crashed into the water and created a huge splash but all were able to move to safety. The glacier, which is an outlet of the larger glacier of Vatnajökull, has been gradually breaking down due to the rising global temperatures, the news report stated.
