Glaciar Breiðamerkurjökull colapsa y provoca tsunami en Islandia

By Manuel Crespo Feliciano, Accuweather en Español staff writer

Un grupo de turistas se reunió el domingo en el extremo más alejado de la laguna de Jökulsárlón, en Islandia, para contemplar el majestuoso glaciar Breiðamerkurjökull.

Lo que no imaginaron es que un enorme trozo de hielo se desprendería del glaciar y generaría un tsunami que amenazaría sus vidas.

Un poco más alejado y en lugar seguro, se encontraba Stephan Mantler, de 44 años, quien capturó toda la escena en video.

"Todos los miembros de la zona fueron informados por su guía de que si ocurría un colapso, debían abandonar la playa y buscar un terreno más alto de inmediato, que es exactamente lo que ocurrió", dijo Mantler a AccuWeather en un correo electrónico.

Mantler es un guía turístico a tiempo completo y el domingo tuvo la suerte de filmar el espectacular evento.

Mantler es originario de Austria y se mudó a Islandia en 2013. Vive en una pequeña granja con su esposa, Inga, 30 caballos, seis gallinas, tres ovejas y un border collie. La pareja son dueños y operan Háfjall, una pequeña compañía de turismo de montaña.

Según un informe de Reuters de 2017, la laguna Jökulsárlón apareció hace unos 90 años cuando el glaciar Breiðamerkurjökull comenzó a derretirse gradualmente.

La laguna se ha convertido desde entonces en el lago más profundo del país, continuó el informe.
