White Giant
It takes a minimum of 3000 years to produce an iceberg and 3 years to journey to Newfoundland. The berg will melt within a matter of months if not weeks after passing south of St. John's. This white giant is drifting to its destiny off Cape Spear.
Icebergs are very far outside my life experience, but I've enjoyed your photos of them. I have a feeling that they are actually very large, though it's hard to guess their size with just water and ice and sky to compare.

ReplyDeleteStunning photo, all of your iceberg photos are excellent, but this one is wonderful with the sky and clouds.
