Watch This Drone Capture an Iceberg Collapsing Off Canada’s East Coast

"It sounded like thunder. You could hear it all through the community."

Teens! When they're not loitering or smoking or leaving Facebook in droves, they're out on the ocean terrorizing icebergs with DRONES.

Kelan Poole is a high school student in Labrador who captured this impressive aerial video of an iceberg collapsing off the coast of St. Lewis—his first time flying a drone over the ocean, too.

"It sounded like thunder," he told CBC News. "You could hear it all through the community."

The area is known colloquially as Iceberg Alley, according to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador's tourism site, and stretches "from the coast of Labrador to the northeast coast of the island of Newfoundland." The early summer months are apparently the best time to view icebergs float lazily down the coast—and, in some cases, collapse spectacularly, as Poole learned.

Correction, 18/06: An earlier version of this story incorrectly referred to St. Lewis as part of Newfoundland. Sorry! Thanks, Brandon.
