An impressive iceberg arrived in Newfoundland’s Goose Cove in mid-July. “Icebergs float in from Greenland,” said the photographer, Gene Patey. This one briefly blocked the town’s harbor before breaking apart and melting, “but the fishermen took their chances.” (Photo: Gene Patey)
NASA says it has captured an image of a massive iceberg drifting toward Newfoundland.
Officials with the U.S. space agency said the 55-square-kilometre ice island has been slowly headed toward the eastern shore of the province since it broke off of the Petermann Glacier on Greenland’s northwest coast last August.
The iceberg, known as Petermann Ice Island-A, was originally about the size of Manhattan, but has gradually shrunk because of melting and calving — when pieces of the berg break away.
NASA said the iceberg was not likely to hit land, but would probably run aground on the sea floor just off the coast. It does pose a danger to offshore oil rigs and shipping traffic, officials said.
They also posted a Youtube video of the iceberg.\
