    A grandma is making waves online after a series of viral photos show her getting swept out to sea while sitting on an iceberg. She had sat on the “ice throne” to pose for a photo when the ice got carried away.

    ABC News reports that Judith Streng was visiting Iceland’s Diamond Beach in Jökulsárlón with her son Rod when she noticed the throne-like formation. But as she posed on the iceberg while Rod snapped a photo, a wave crashed onto the beach and pulled the iceberg into the ocean with Judith still on it.

    “When I got on it, it started to totter and a wave was coming in,” Streng tells ABC News. “A very large wave came in and kind of made the throne kind of rock, and I could tell that I was slipping off.”

    Brisbane swimmer Emily Seebohm came on the show today to talk about Endometriosis Awareness Month and what it means for her to suffer with the condition while being a professional athlete.

    Speaking to Stav, Abby & Matt this morning, Emily revealed that stress would cause her period, often a very painful one, to come early, which affected her when competing.

    She revealed just how hard it has been being a swimmer competing at the top level with this condition but how she has been able to remain at the top of her game.
