This particular chunk of ice floated too close to shore and got stuck, making Ferryland a popular tourist destination during Easter weekend. The season started early this year due to a March storm that broke up more sea ice than usual. Each April, icebergs calve in the Arctic and float away, carried south by the current on a journey that takes them past Labrador and Newfoundland to the open sea. The beautiful iceberg appeared three weeks ago at the start of iceberg season along the Northern Atlantic coastline. "But they're all special in their own way." "This one is unusually large," says Mayor Adrian Kavanagh, a lifelong resident of Ferryland. No one can say just how big the leviathan may be, but admit that, yes, it is something else.

Its a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean that runs from the Arctic to Newfoundland and Labrador. The iceberg towers 150 feet above the dark blue water of the North Atlantic, dwarfing the tidy clapboard houses in this shot by Reuters photographer Greg Lock. Iceberg Alley might be one of the best spots in the world for viewing icebergs. Common/recent reposts are not allowed (posts from another subreddit do not count as a repost.

If you've seen one chunk of ice, you've seen them all, right? But even longtime residents did a double take when an especially big one ran aground near the village of Ferryland. If this post declares something as a fact, then proof is required. Locals living along Newfoundland's famed Iceberg Alley are used to passing icebergs each spring.
