Icebergs
Parade of Giants
Battle Harbour is on "iceberg alley" and in a "good year" hundreds of massive chunks pass by our island.
We are working on posting up some of the more spectacular images collected over the years but here is a short clip taken in July 2007 that we think you will find interesting!

You can also see how the current "crop" of icebergs is shaping up by going to http://www.icebergfinder.com/
And, learn about an expedition in quest of icebergs launched by the renowned American landscape painter, Frederic Edwin Church (1829-1900) whose 1859 ventures took him to Battle Harbour and inspired at least one painting . http://www.vanishing-ice.org/
Click here to view the Massive ice structure known as the Petermann Ice Island which is gaining incredible media attention due to its 3 mile length and 2 mile width. As of June 23, 2011 this amazing sight was just 40 miles from the shore of Battle Harbour and is expected to pass by the Island in upcoming weeks! This is a must see!
