Sparky's Epic Adventure Across North America (hunting icebergs in Newfoundland).

 July 8th: I was on the hunt for icebergs early in the morning. Our next reservation is in Botwood about a two-hour drive from Springdale, so I had lots of time to explore. I headed toward King's Point on the #391, then toward Nicky's Nose Cove, because the name funny intrigued me. Apparently, the cove was named for a nearby nose-shaped rock. (I wonder who Nick the owner of the noteworthy nose was?) 

The biggest piece of the much larger iceberg

There were three good-sized 'bergs and a trail of bits and pieces floating near the shore in Nicky's Nose Cove. According to a friendly local, there had been one very large iceberg that broke apart early in the morning. 

Pretty darn impressive either way. If you look closely at the photos, the tiny dots on the iceberg are seagulls. That gives you an idea of how large this piece was.

Cheers Lynda and The Sparkinator
