According to experts, the capsize was caused by the irregular melting of the submerged part of the iceberg, which altered its balance to the point of causing it to capsize. This is a frequent natural phenomenon in Greenland, where these real ice islands continually change their structure due to melting. However, the waves generated by these events can represent a risk for boats that are too close, which is why the authorities recommend always maintaining a safe distance from unstable icebergs.
