I saw my first real live iceberg a couple of week ago! Newfoundland is right on "iceberg alley". The icebergs break off from the ice sheets in Greenland and move south along the northeast coast of Newfoundland. On one of our few beautiful days last week, we drove to a nearby town in search of a favourite coffee shop, which, as luck would have it, was closed. But we went down to the harbour and there was a small iceberg floating nonchalantly in the bay, with a couple of seagulls flying around it and resting on it. There are some great Newfoundland postcards of icebergs in the St. John's harbour, just sitting there in the middle of all this shipping action. We are planning on taking a boat tour, or more than one, to see icebergs, whales, and/or puffins (all three are plentiful along the coast of Newfoundland).
(My friend took a whole bunch of photos of the iceberg with his digital camera. So I could post some pictures to MaxQ's account, if someone will PM me some instructions...)
