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.

The old aged barn had such a moody look in the fog. I bet the wave watching and iceberg viewing would be amazing from inside with a wood stove lit.

Newfoundland and Labrador weather conditions can change very rapidly with our island climate. A long rain coat ,such as my “Mernini” brand, is critical for staying dry on the shores of the North Atlantic.

Not all beaches in Newfoundland are sandy. In fact, many are quite rocky and rough. I enjoy beach combing in areas like this as you never know what the tide may have left behind.

This iceberg on the Avalon Peninsula hit ground at the tip of the Cape and will likely break apart with the force of the sea and melt in the sun.
