Cast-Away
This giant chunk of ancient ice broke off the Iceberg on the horizon and was washed to shore. I carved and cut some of this ice as a keepsake. You can see the fog coming in off the ocean on the horizon slowly creeping its way to shore. The sun was shining but the wind blowing off the berg really chilled the bones.
From the Northern tip of Labrador down to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, the sea that pounds and caresses these shores is nicknamed Iceberg Alley. Bergs born 10,000 years ago on the Greenland icecap dance along the coast and far out to sea, propelled unpredictably by wind and tide, tumbling, twirling, and breaking into fantastic shapes before melting in the warm waters of the gulf stream.
An iceberg’s journey down Iceberg Alley begins once it breaks off from the edges of Greenland’s glaciers. Dropping into the ocean, it is gripped by the Labrador Current and carried through the dark ocean along the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the past, during certain times of the year, the alley has been thick with the largest and most beautiful icebergs found anywhere in the world. They glide majestically along, alone or in groups, obscuring the horizon with their tall, jagged silhouettes.

Stunning work mate
Phil Thomson IPA
Incredible Image, Kevin and a special moment in time for you !!! Not only a great Kevin Kroeker Image, but the first thing that struck me was the contrast between the stillness of the iceberg and the movement of the waves !!!
Kim Cinnamon
very cool shot. Wish i was there to see it
Marvin Collins
Great shot Kevin, it’s kind of scary thinking that these icebergs are drifting down a month early.
Bryan Peterson
Kevin, these are all fantastic captures! I agree with Phil that the contrasts between the movement of the ocean and the stillness of the bergs make this image special. Between Fisherman’s Berg and this one it’s a toss up as to which image I like the best, they’re both great images.
Heather Rivet...

Fiona MacNab
Another fantastic shot. It makes you aware of the power of the waves, that they can wash this ashore.
