From the earliest recorded human journeys into the North Atlantic, icebergs challenged mariners. But the tale of these awesome moving mountains of ice has many exciting chapters. Icebergs have sheltered vessels in storms, towed sailing ships against the wind and cleared paths through sea ice for mariners.
Approximately 40,000 of these massive blocks of ice are calved annually by the glaciers of Western Greenland.
Many of them will eventually drift past the northeast coast of Newfoundland, many visible from land.
Experience these mighty giants up close. Sail in awe past icebergs made from ancient densely packed blue ice. Our favourite "bergs" are the talk of the world. You may even get to sample a bergy bit—the most pristine water on earth, frozen 15,000 years ago to melt in your mouth.
