While the increasing presence of wayward icebergs can be a disheartening symbol of the world’s rising temperatures, that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate a cool-looking iceberg whenever it drifts by. This excellent iceberg which includes a circular archway was spotted off of the coast with the Bonavista Peninsula in Newfoundland. The peninsula, nicknamed “iceberg alley”, is regarded as a primary viewing place for iceberg-viewing during spring to early summer.
The “beauty berg”, because this windowed iceberg is called, appears to be grounded inside the waters near the Bonavista Peninsula, specifically Upper Amherst Cove. Locals, visitors, and photographers have seized the chance to take pictures and videos, encouraging others to determine the glacier before it’s gone. Twitter user Mark Gray’s photos notably go viral:

Including the Beauty Berg, there are 94 icebergs floating off of the coast of Newfoundland. The total number of icebergs passing Newfoundland and Labrador is a major draw for your area, as it’s one among the most beneficial places worldwide for viewing glacial formations. Particularly, the area of Ferryland to the Avalon Peninsula recently became a hot spot for iceberg-chasers planning to catch the very first icebergs of the season.
If you intend to view the Beauty Berg, you better stop dawdling. Unlike most art pieces, icebergs don’t exactly hang in one location too much. Early summer months are get rid of peak iceberg season, so there’s only a couple weeks left before your chance drifts away.
