A huge iceberg, the size of a hill has drifted close to a tiny village on the western coast of Greenland, prompting fears it could swamp the settlement with a tsunami if it splits. Video posted on social media shows the iceberg towering over houses on a promontory in the village of Innaarsuit, when a massive chunk of ice slides off into the water sending big waves towards the village.

The Government and police are on high and have moved a search and rescue helicopter closer to the remote village of about 170 inhabitants.
