A small fishing village on Canada’s East
Coast has been hit by a sudden flood of tourists after a 150ft tall
iceberg became visible near its shoreline over Easter weekend, and they
might have to get used to it.
The bombastic berg has parked near
Ferryland, a remote community in Newfoundland famous for “Iceberg
alley,” a stretch of its coastal waters which are frequented by Arctic
visitors. At a whopping 150 feet tall, the iceberg is even larger than
the one that notoriously struck and sank the Titanic in 1912. Though you
won’t find Jack and Rose checking out Ferryland’s newest occupant, the
village has apparently become jammed up by tourists eager to see it, and
photos of the phenomenon are already adding up on social media.
Since the iceberg has reached shallow
water and is currently stagnant, it’s not likely to drift away anytime
soon. This could spell out big business for Ferryland, although
according to residents interviewed by CBC, the town’s only 2 restaurants
don’t open until the 24th of May.
