Interesting Photo of the Day: Collapsing Iceberg in Cape Spear

Interesting Photos

Sometimes an amazing photograph has everything to do with skill, and sometimes it has to do with being in the right place at the right time. Photographer William Follett combined the two factors in this amazing photo of the Cape Spear Arch iceberg collapsing off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada:

On his Flickr page, Follett explains:

“I took a few shots from the tripod, had taken the camera off to get a few people shots and then I heard some cracking and banking, then SPLASH. She was breaking up. I swung around and managed to get this one shot hand held.”

Coincidentally, one Youtube user captured a video of the same iceberg via drone just one day earlier:

Imagine what it would have looked like had he arrived a day later (and what it would’ve cost to replace that drone)!
