Tourists in Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland had to run for their lives when large chunks of ice fell off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.

The falling ice sent waves barreling toward the nearby group of tourists. The video shows them trying to outrun the powerful waves created by the glacier collapse.
