    Iceberg stuck in harbour near St. John's

    Well anyone in St. John's doesn't have to go far to see an iceberg up close right now. Just a quick jaunt out to Quidi Vidi village.

    Hope nobody wants to get into or out of the harbor soon!Smile

    The picture is terrific, but it really doesn't do them justice.  If you ever have a chance to see them in person.....the icebergs are AMAZING!   I'm hoping maybe there are some left when I'm in NF in July.

    Looks like CBC took the story down, the links are not working for me.

    Yes I think you're right. Don't know why they took it down.

    I was able to find it at another source though. Click on the picture to read the story at Canadian Press.

    Click here for another more recent CBC story about the iceberg situation in general around Newfoundland this spring (hopefully they'll keep that one up nerd). Towards the upper right of the page is a "gallery" link with some very nice iceberg pictures also. Click here to go right to the gallery.
