Canada’s CBC News said that over the Easter weekend, the Southern Shore highway near the town of Ferryland was blocked with traffic as photographers – professional or amateur – pulled up to snap the hulking ice mountain.
The area off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador is colloquially known as “iceberg alley” thanks to the large number of ice blocks that drift down from the arctic each spring.
The icebergs are often locked into sea ice, which can last until late spring or early summer, but this one looks like it has grounded and could remain in place, Mayor Adrian Kavanagh told The Canadian Press.
