This is the startling moment an entire landscape moves from one side of a hill to another during a peat slippage in Northern Ireland.

The unsettling incident was witnessed by a surprised passerby and caught on camera, as a number of mature trees rapidly glided down a slope at Meenbog Wind Farm, just south of Ballybofey, on Friday afternoon, according to Buzz.

While there were no reports of injury or concerns that the local water supply could be affected, one councillor said 'there are serious questions about how this happened.'
