Colossal Iceberg Drifts Past Ilulissat | A Spectacle from Greenland’s Glacier – Oct 8, 2025

On October 8, 2025, the AfarTV Iceberg Webcam captured another awe-inspiring moment in Ilulissat, Greenland — a giant iceberg floating through the Ilulissat Icefjord near the coastal town.

This region is home to the Ilulissat Glacier (Sermeq Kujalleq), one of the most active glaciers on Earth. It moves at an incredible speed of up to 40 meters (130 ft) per day, calving enormous icebergs into Disko Bay. Each year, about 35 billion tons of ice break off this glacier, many of which are among the largest in the Northern Hemisphere.

As these massive icebergs drift past Ilulissat, they create breathtaking scenes of Arctic beauty and offer a real-time glimpse into the dynamic forces shaping Greenland’s coastline. These floating giants are part of the same glacial system that helped inspire early climate science and continue to play a crucial role in understanding sea level rise.

Captured in stunning 4K, this video highlights the sheer scale, movement, and majesty of these natural ice sculptures as they pass through the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord.
