CBC posted an article that notes in St. Anthony, “One of the icebergs is more of an ice island, about 600 metres long. It used to be part of the 251-square kilometre chunk of ice which broke off the Petermann Glacier in Greenland in August 2010.” http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2011/07/15/nl-iceberg-great-year-715.html

If you’d like to get an up close and personal view, take Northland Discovery Boat Tours (www.discovernorthland.com) located near the Grenfell Interpretation Centre. I’ve been on the tour twice myself and truly have been amazed. On both occasions, I have seen whales. On one tour, the whale breached out of the water. I may have to take another trip soon to see this ice island!

The icebergs are marvels of nature. Come to the Great Northern Peninsula and experience them up close and in person.
