These icebergs were located in Bay Bulls.
They are called "Growlers". It is the sound the iceberg makes as it comes to stop due to the fact that the bottom 2/3's of the iceberg has come to a stop because it has hit too shallow water, and is hung up on the ocean bottom.
If you were to go diving you would see the ocean floor marked with "iceberg trails". As the weeks go by they melt, and breakup and move closer in. Small chunks of icebergs that have broken off larger icebergs are called......."Berger bits" of course!
One thing that is absolutley stunning is the color of the ice as the sun shines through!
You always know that you are approaching an iceberg as the air quickly becomes cooler. All of us were glad we were wearing warm winter coats!
