This is Richard Tegner one of the crew of the sailing ship we are following, being interviewed in front of a very large iceberg; that mountain in the background is actually floating very slowly out to sea, where it will slosh around among others of its kind, occasionally rolling over without warning,or breaking apart and dropping slabs the size of apartment buildings into the ocean, creating unexpected tidal waves that take six minutes to pass. In the fiord we could see the slow rise and fall of the water by about a metre, the leftover ripple from some massive collapse somewhere a long time ago and far far away.
Richard and his two compadres sailed through a posse of these bad boys on their way into town. Muy macho, as they say in Swedish.
