This apocalyptic ‘arctic’ slide resembles a scene from a doomsday sci-fi flick, as thousands of tonnes of ice hurtle through the river in a Canadian town.

Thanks to the cyclone bomb weather phenomenon, the east coast of Northern America has seen some volatile weather conditions throughout the entirety of January – and Canada has certainly been no exception. 

Having lived through infamously harsh winters, Johnathan Anstey, of Newfoundland, Canada, wasn’t surprised to see several feet of snow fall at the turn of the year – but he wasn’t expecting an ‘arctic landslide' to occur just a few feet from his back garden. 

Following intense snowfall on January 11th, the higher ground of Deer Lake was met with 18cm (around 7 inches) of rainfall over a 24-hour period just three days later.

This influx of precipitation caused the Humber River to burst its banks, flushing several tonnes of ice downstream, an event that lasted nearly eight hours.
