It may come as a surprise to some, but Dolphins are often seen in the waters of Newfoundland. While not as common as Whales, they’re certainly more friendly.

Iceberg Founders In Spillers Cove

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 12:46:39 +0000

This video captures a spectacular view of a multi-storey iceberg breaking apart in Spillers Cove, Twillingate. Twillingate is also known as the Iceberg Capital of the World. This sleepy fishing village sees numerous of these frozen ancient giants drift down iceberg alley each year and visitors travel from afar to Newfoundland Canada to witness these awe-inspiring phenomena each year. This giant iceberg broke apart on Saturday 5 July 2008 at 3:45 pm in full view of a group of tourist specators who hiked out to the point to view the iceberg – one of the last of the season – and Mother Nature responded with this perfectly timed show. Much of the sound in the video comes from the release of trapped gas in the ice which is made up of age-old pure fresh water.
