Stretching from Arctic to the southeast coast of the island of Newfoundland, Iceberg Alley is the perfect spot for iceberg viewing – even from your kitchen window, while cooking the local staple ‘Jiggs dinner’.
If you live in Canada’s Iceberg Alley, you will never be short of icebergs to view. And in the spring, when the sea ice around them melts, they’ll look even more spectacular.
The icebergs come from even further up north, mostly from Greenland, where chunks of glaciers tend to break off during the spring and summer. Ocean currents then take them from north to south, along Baffin Bay towards the Labrador Sea, where they finally melt.
A smaller percentage of these behemoths come from the Canadian shoreline, with currents transporting them from Baffin Bay through the David Strait into the Labrador Sea, to finally arrive at the eastern and western shores of Newfoundland.
