Icebergs are a springtime occurrence off the shores of Canada’s Atlantic province of Newfoundland, usually appearing in April.
But this year, spring was a long time in coming, with the result that icebergs are a common site into this last week of May and perhaps even into June.
Kathryn King is an on-line producer for CBC St. John’s in Newfoundland. Prior to the holiday-weekend last week, she invited people to send in their photos of “BAY-BERGS” These are the ghostly beauties appearing in the bays and coves along the coastline.
Many people responded to the call and there are several wonderful photographs on the link below. Kathryn King told Carmel Kilkenny about the growing tourist industry taking people out on cruises to get a little closer. And this year, with the delayed spring, many visitors are enjoying two converging experiences; viewing the icebergs, and watching the whales at the same time.
