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/
