Iceberg season has arrived in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada at Cape St. Francis. However, it is very cold, foggy and damp. There is just something about the damp weather next to the North Atlantic Ocean that chills to the bone! However, I braved the elements and took a solo road trip to Cape St. Francis, located at the tip of the Avalon Peninsula to search for icebergs.

Cape St. Francis was once a traditional lighthouse site but the structure no longer stands. The long drive down a dirt road full of potholes led me to a grounded iceberg not too far from shore. The sea was very rough and very large waves were crashing on the beach. In fact, the waves were so powerful I thought the berg may have broken apart in front of me.

Other fellow photographers were at the Cape capturing photos of the ancient glacial ice. Iceberg hunting is a popular Spring activity on the island with sites such as “Iceberg Finder NL” keeping adventure seekers up to date on berg sightings.
