    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 โ€œice throneโ€ to pose for a photo when the ice got carried away.

    ABC News reports that Judith Streng was visiting Icelandโ€™s Diamond Beach in Jรถkulsรกrlรณn 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.

    โ€œWhen I got on it, it started to totter and a wave was coming in,โ€ Streng tells ABC News. โ€œA very large wave came in and kind of made the throne kind of rock, and I could tell that I was slipping off.โ€
