We have kayaked right below these cliffs in Michigan's Upper Peninsula several times. Sure glad we weren't there yesterday!

"BYACK UP!"

What's a Chicagoan doing way up there? Big Grin

Mother Nature is pretty cool though.

Cool video, but the "man" screaming in the video is an annoying, little bitch

I don’t think Gordon Lightfoot will be writing a new song about Brad or his screeching “friend”.

I dont know why I was thinking he was in a kayak, but when I saw he was in a boat I agreed with you.

I've hiked the tops of those a few times, and there are lots of signs warning people to stay back from the edge because the cliffs can collapse without warning. Apparently they weren't lying.

Happens fairly often. A couple years ago some kayakers nearly cashed in the chips during a fall.

I’ve done the boat tour and always thought I’d like to kayak there. Not anymore.

I guess if I ever get up there in a boat or kayak, a healthy distance from the rocks is best observed.

a number of decades past (OK, so it was 1971ish) me & a buddy were in a canoe in the middle of Lake Louise (Banff) watching the then-glacier at the end of the lake, when a largish section fell off into the lake. It generated a wave that amounted to a lot of excitement in theory but was only a few noticeable inches when it got to us.

It was this view point but the snow field is curiously absent now. https://static.greatbigcanvas....a-canada,2045274.jpg
