Top Iceberg Imagery of 2025

By Newfoundland and Labrador

When it comes to viewing icebergs, Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the best places in the world. During spring and summer, these 10,000-year-old glacial giants are visible from many points along the northern and eastern coasts. In 2025, the province saw an especially impressive parade of these frozen giants drifting south from Greenland, carving their path along what’s famously known as "Iceberg Alley". This year’s iceberg season started off especially early, with the first sighting reaching the shores of Twillingate in February and the season continuing into the late summer months.
From dramatic encounters in central Newfoundland to awe-inspiring views off the shores of Labrador, we’ve rounded up our favourite iceberg imagery of the season for you to enjoy.

Change Islands

Our friend Ray Mackey captured this iceberg towering like a cathedral over the hills of Change Islands.

Twillingate

When visiting Newfoundland and Labrador, you might hear the phrase “some day on clothes”, which is used to describe a beautiful, sunny day with a gentle breeze that is ideal for drying clothes on a clothesline. This video from Ron Bettin showcases just the kind of day we’re referring to—with a once-in-a-lifetime kind of view as the backdrop.

Bonavista

It was just another day in Iceberg Alley for Johnny Kam, who snapped this image of an enormous iceberg overlooking the historic community of Bonavista.

Gillards Cove

Nature doesn’t do small here. Phil Raby took this stunning photo of an iceberg towering off Gillards Cove, with an Iceberg Quest tour boat offering a front-row seat to the magic.

Fogo Island

They might take over 10,000 years to arrive, but they sure are worth the wait. Oksana Ridka captured this video showing the ancient giants gleaming like diamonds under the Atlantic sun near Fogo Island.

Outer Cove

The St. John’s metro area is not often visited by icebergs, but this year brought a surprise guest! Serhii Litvin took full advantage of the moment with this drone shot of the berg as it was anchored in Outer Cove.

Battle Harbour

A place untouched by power lines, cell towers, cars, or paved roads, the restored 19th-century fishing village of Battle Harbour invites you to stroll along footpaths worn by fishermen and merchants centuries ago. Luckily, this kind of show requires no electricity, as shown by Peter Bull.

Gunner’s Cove

When the ice takes the shape of home, you know you’re in Newfoundland and Labrador’s waters. Steve Sheppard caught an overhead view of this Newfoundland-shaped iceberg.

Tilting

Even the ice knows how to take it slow in Tilting. A picture-perfect moment caught by Sam Zurg.

Trinity

Some things are best seen up close and personal. What better way to experience iceberg viewing in Newfoundland and Labrador than by cruising alongside these majestic giants, as shown by Trinity Eco Tours. And if you're lucky enough, an iceberg sighting might come with a side of breaching whales.
