St. Anthony

We arrived in St. Anthony, at the very northern tip of Newfoundland, in the evening, and as soon as we drove into town, we could see all the icebergs out in the water. The best views were from the lighthouse at Fishing Point, where three huge icebergs were grounded....

Of course the kids wanted to come out and have a look....

They counted 17 icebergs, out and about, but the best one was the big one closest to shore....

We went on to Goose Cove, which was another 15 KM further, at the very end of the road. There were two more big icebergs close to shore there, although it was getting too dark to take any photos with the kids.

We parked for the night in the small parking lot at the end of the road, where there's a public trail overlooking the coast. This was the view from our RV after the sun went down, after 10 pm.

Time to get some sleep, since this far north it starts to get light at 4 am already.

What fabulous fabulous photos *wow* those icebergs are just awesome. And the view from your RV in the evening was breathtaking!

I will never see ice bergs in real life, so thank you for these photos.
And I just love to see the dolls here too......lucky them!

Thanks! I love icebergs, and hope to go to NFLD again some other year to look for them again. It's all a matter of chance, since every year is different, and it all depends if some are even close enough to see. Tiny white specks on the horizon are no where as exciting as massive interestingly-shaped icebergs stranded just offshore.

The woman who lived in the house opposite where we parked in Goose Cove, said that the icebergs this year were nothing compared to last year.

Why do we never go when it's a banner year for them??
