Top Iceberg Imagery of 2024
by Newfoundland and Labrador2024 has been a unique year so far, and with it came a unique iceberg season. Starting in April, our frosty friends floated down the coast of Labrador, along the Great Northern Peninsula of the island, and into our central region. Although icebergs didn’t make it further east this year, the ones that did pay us a visit stuck around for quite a while – with some staying afloat in the same area for over two weeks! Here are some of our favourite snaps from the 2024 season, as captured by you.
St. Lunaire – Griquet
With its perfect mix of rough and smooth textures, this beautiful berg captured by Manon Sansoucy caught our eye with its many shapes and shades of blue.
Beachside
Ray Mackey snapped this beautiful sunrise scene in Beachside, complete with a 10,000 year-old iceberg, pristinely calm waters, and a flock of seagulls for good measure. The perfect way to start your day!
Great Brehat
Perspective is everything, and we can’t think of a better way to shift yours than this. Just ask photographer Steve Sheppard, who took some time to stand cliffside and marvel at this icy giant near Great Brehat.
Brent's Cove
Have you ever danced circles around an iceberg? Maik and Elisa show us how it’s done, with this fantastic drone footage captured in the evening light. Take note of the changing colours, textures, and the amount of ice still hidden below the surface. Incredible!
Brighton
Sometimes these ancient icebergs resemble creatures from prehistoric times. We see the spiny back of a stegosaurus. What do you see?
Harry's Harbour
Can you see the whale’s tale in this icy sculpture? Marjorie Li photographed this abstract iceberg near Harry’s Harbour. It must be nature’s way of paying homage to our nautical neighbour, the humble humpback whale.
St. Carols
When we say “it’s just the tip of the iceberg”, this is what we mean. Another gorgeous aerial shot courtesy of Steve Sheppard shows just how deep an iceberg reaches into the cold Atlantic. Roughly 90% of its mass hides below the surface.
St. Anthony
Like a tall ship in full sail, this berg was a remarkable sight as it drifted past St. Anthony. Thanks to Diana Richardson for submitting this through icebergfinder.com.
Seal Cove
They say that right angles aren’t common in nature, but sometimes nature begs to differ. This geometric berg found in Seal Cove, near the town of Baie Verte, is about as close as it gets to perfect.
Great Northern Peninsula
A golden sunset was the perfect addition to this shot by Alex Armitage, as it highlights the colour, shape and sheer size of this iceberg off the coast of the Great Northern Peninsula.
