Along the east coast of Newfoundland, it’s not unusual to wake up in the morning to find that
an iceberg has meandered into the neighbourhood. This painting is based on a Maclean’s Magazine photo
by Darren Calabrese, showing an
iceberg about six kilometres off the coast near the Bonavista Peninsula. The
10,000-year-old ice masses appeared early this year due to an El Niño weather
system. The tips of these icebergs reach up to 24 m high, with as much as another 100 m beneath the
surface.
