Blue Striped Iceberg

Icebergs are fascinating. This one has a wide blue strip, the result of meltwater sometime during the life of the ice sheet which this iceberg came from.

This particular iceberg has been hanging around in Main Tickle just north of the causeway between New World Island and Twillingate Island.

When we arrived on June 5th the icberg was grounded on the east side of the tickle near Meritts Harbour, as it eroded it moved to the west side of the tickle closer to the causeway.
