Icebergs can be some of the most beautiful things in the world, but they can also be very dangerous. One of our team members, with a lot of experience in polar regions, tells me that there is an iceberg that looks pretty stable, so we should go and dive there.

We get in the zodiac, and we'll jump in the water with a group of microbiology and our filmmakers. I'm on the zodiac getting ready for jumping in the water, and all of a sudden, I hear a really loud cry. At the same time, everybody comes out of the water.

At the end of the dive, I see the iceberg starting to move, and then I yell, "Everybody get out of the water! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!" They didn't know what was going on. Within 30 seconds, the ice was turned upside down. If our team had taken even longer to get out of the water, something really bad could have happened.

There have always been icebergs in the polar regions, but now, because of the warmer temperatures and climate change, the glaciers are calving more and more, which means that there are many more icebergs. I got out immediately. I lost you guys, and I was like, "This is... yeah, and if we had lit up at 2 there, we would get serious."

"Oh, the dude, a little too close! That was crazy! Thanks for diving!" I may be over ice. God, it just started raining down on top of me. My initial reaction was to just scream in my own head.
