Icebergs. Yeah we get those here of the coast of
Newfoundland. In the spring we get the ice floes, which are enormous
sheets of ice. Often they are quite thick and rafted up into huge ridges where they collide. Icebreakers have to make channels for
fishing vessels and
commercial vessels. Boats and even large ships quite often get stuck in it.
The bergs come later, usually in June. But this year they were very late, in August. We had one enormous berg this year that was the size of a fair size island. It broke off from Greenland about a year or so ago, drifted north for a bit in the
current, then turned around and came our way. All the icebergs follow this same
route.
