Qué cubre este vídeo

A 38-ft sailboat navigating a fjord in Greenland encounters heavy ice congestion and shifting currents that threaten its anchorage. While attempting to anchor in a narrow, ice-filled passage, the crew faces a recurring hazard from large icebergs drifting into the fjord on the tide.7:35 One massive iceberg forces the boat toward the shore, compelling the crew to release both their bow and stern anchors to avoid grounding.15:59 To recover the gear, the owner uses a kayak to reach the iceberg, secures a line around it, and uses the sailboat to tow the ice mass away from the anchorage and into the main current.16:53 After successfully clearing the iceberg, the crew retrieves the submerged anchors by grappling the buoyed lines and re-securing the chain to the windlass.25:30 The experience highlights the necessity of constant watch-keeping and the risk of anchoring in areas prone to "iceberg highways" where tidal currents funnel ice directly into moored vessels.22:04
