Caçadores de icebergs vivem tempos de abundância no Canadá

ESTADO DE MINAS — Na hora do crepúsculo, os turistas ficam fascinados com o afundamento final de um iceberg que termina sua jornada da Groenlândia até Terra Nova, uma ilha canadense localizada na primeira fila do “show” do derretimento de geleiras.

Outrora epicentro da pesca de bacalhau, a província de Terra Nova e Labrador agora vê como seus tranquilos povoados costeiros fervem com a chegada de hordas de fotógrafos amadores que vieram imortalizar os pedaços gigantes de geleira, cada vez em maior número, que desembocam no leste do Canadá no fim do inverno.

A abundância de icebergs que deslizam para o sul gerou uma nova atração turística estreitamente vinculada à aceleração do aquecimento global.

Icebergs float by the shores of Newfoundland every year but it's not often you get to see one this close to town, like we did in Hampden over the past few days. IcebergFinder.com has an iceberg map that lead me to this one, and you can use it to help you find bergs around the coast too! #exploreNL #icebergsNL #sponsored #explorecanada

After taking the winter off from shooting the beautiful Newfoundland scenery, it feels good to be back at it. Just in time to find and shoot the many beautiful icebergs that are littering the shore. Here's one I came across earlier this week. Hope you enjoy it. If so, let me know in the comments. :-)⠀ ⠀ #newfoundland #ice #newfoundlandandlabrador #iceberg #icebergalley #newfoundlandicebergs #ExploreNL #ExploreCanada #totescanadian #travel #canada #nikon #nfld #imagesofcanada #Ig_great_shots_canada #explorecanada #seaice #ocean #ferryland #acratech #travel #eastcoast #icebergs⠀

⠀ Yesterday I decided I wanted to try to catch the sunrise at Grates Cove, hoping the cloud cover would be thin enough to give a beautiful red sky at morning. So I left St John's at 2am and drove a few hours in the dark to try my luck. While unfortunately, the sky didn't light up as I had hoped, the dark clouds that were in the sky added a lovely mood to the cold, wet, windy morning and just makes these bergs pop.
