Iceberg Season

It’s somewhat ironic that as winter comes to an end in Ontario, I find myself dreaming of ice. Huge, floating islands of the stuff. A few years ago, there were hundreds of them parading down the northeast coast of Newfoundland. That was exceptional, but I can assure you that even one iceberg is an impressive sight. This beauty parked itself in Adams Cove – the most striking backyard accessory I’ve ever seen!

If you want to go on your own iceberg hunt, head to Twillingate on the north shore. Twillingate is famous for being part of what’s called iceberg alley.

A great online tool is icebergfinder.com. Iceberg enthusiasts can follow the progress of these floating giants as they move down the coast.

Of course, all topics lead to food and icebergs are no exception. At your next cocktail party share a piece of Newfoundland with Iceberg Vodka. Promoted as the world’s purest vodka, the distillers use 12,000-year-old ice harvested from melting icebergs off the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. Works for me!  

Happy Eating!

      Aren’t they? Newfoundland is a photographer’s dream – magnificent scenery, brightly-coloured buildings, and if there is any pollution, I haven’t seen it. Thanks for your comment! – Pamela

  2. Talk around NL is that this should be another great iceberg season as hundreds of icebergs are making their way down from the Artic ,helped by the breakup of the huge ice island ( Peterman Island) off Greenland.
