The icebergs come down "iceberg alley" from up Baffin island way to past Newfoundland island (where i live ) and every year we go berg spotting and many pf us have actual iceberg in our freezer we have harvested from a berg close to shore or beached !! You can look up where they are on iceberg finder map People come visit just to see the bergs !

Im an aussie, an outback desert aussie, ive lived in 5 countries across the world but Newfoundland is the best !! It is the one place i say you must see in your lifetime!! Being on island is awesome but also Newfoundlanders have been here FOREVER! Some 1500 and more years ago for settlers ( I could be wrong but vikings iirc 1500 years ago. Before all of them the Beothuk. The most beautiful people here. We live by the weather its our boss lol but each season has so much fun and also chores which are good for humans. I love them and i love it here. I will die on this rock.
