Below is an amazing video that just emerged of a massive glacier collapsing in the Tian Shan Mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The footage was captured by Harry Shimmin, a British tourist on a trekking tour. According to Gaurdian News, 10 people were caught in the avalanche last Friday, but apparently all of them survived.
The first time I watched this I was thinking that the person taking the video was potentially exposed to being in the path of the slide, despite the seemingly long distance from it. Hopefully this will serve as a lesson for anyone who is in a similar situation, in that you take cover sooner rather than latter.
