I've cruised a sailboat a couple summers in Labrador and Newfoundland and kayaked near the tidewater glaciers in SE Alaska. Seeing icebergs calve off a glacier and roll as they melt is an amazing experience. With the acceleration of glaciers melting and calving icebergs in Greenland, this problem will only get worse for sailors cruising these waters and the communities of the Canadian Maritime provinces.
I think they become less frightening if you always treat them with respect for the danger they represent. They're wild. Like a predator in the wild, you cannot be sure how they will react, which danger they'll manifest. But they're also all different, each one unique - in shape, surface, color (white, blue), like snowflakes, and in different lighting, as variable to the eye as mountain scapes. There's something wonderful about things that are out of our control, but present for our admiration.
Just came home from a visit to Newfoundland. I was a couple weeks too late to see icebergs and whales, but enjoyed everything else that I did. So beautiful. The people are so nice. And it is a hiker’s paradise. (Then there is the seafood!). Will be back a bit earlier in the season next time. This is a beautiful video.
@@kathryngolden126 I know this is a year later, but I thought I'd answer anyway. If you want to see icebergs and whales, the best time is usually late May-June
Gotta love being born and raised in Newfoundland. If This out of the ordinary for you that just means Canada isn’t doing a good enough job promoting it’s beautiful island province and everything we had to offer. This is pivotal to our tourism industry. People come from all over the world to get tours an Photos, and just to see these icebergs. Tourism is also one of our only industries in which the locals actually get the reap some sort of benefits we have a lot of natural resources, but because the Canadian government wants to go green us. Locals are struggling to survive, because the money is just in the ground and we’re not allowed to touch it, but thank God we have tourism
I would just love to visit Newfoundland, there's something so special about it - the icebergs are beautiful, but dangerous so I would not venture out there to get too near ! It's the natural world at it's most raw, and we are not in control of them ! Thank you for your video !
Mahalo .. a lovely relaxing and unexpected find showing the beauty of icebergs and Newfoundland and another reminder of our future losses with our changing world, and rising ocean…much of my island will be underwater in several decades.. inc our tourists’ beloved Waikiki…
when u took a drink of part of an iceberg, it reminds me of taking a drink from the mountain stream of water = i can just picture the freshness of it 🦜🦜🙏🏼🙏🏼 plz be careful around them too as i am the mountains
Icebergs Keep Visiting "This Town." Which Town?? Newfoundland is a big island with lots of towns along it NE cost. I would love to visit the small town in this video but it is never named Great video!! enjoted the scenery and story, Thank you
Hmm, because they are cold and emotionless with no love. They are not alone with this attitude. The wind and the sea surface currents are badass too! But ultimately, it is the fault of dissipative phenomena caused by Earth's topology and the sun rays a.k.a. the second law of thermodynamics. Damn it!
My worry here is the extinction of the iceberg. What we are going to manufacturing them 😂😂😂😂😂 Who knows🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ who knows it seems like we as human see only one aspect of it all but not the whole picture..
Back in day people would hunt icebergs to get ice. Then ship the ice around the world. I say we bring back iceburg hunting. It removes them from the ocean which is dangerous for sea level rise and boats. I would love to have official iceberg ice in my drink.
That title is bad on so many levels. It makes icebergs sound like a nuisance that people will not miss, perhaps even rejoice, when there are no more icebergs left thanks to anthropogenic climate change.
This was very uninformative. I only learned one thing, about the path icebergs take. Not how why when impacts etc. Not interested in all the sentimental statements. I'm a Canadian too, I value sentiments, just that I thought PBS was science/learning so I didn't like this video.
Icebergs. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.) UA-cam “Broca’s Aphasia exercise” 1969kodiakbear

Newfoundland is the most creative name I've ever heard . So beautiful..
love the lady who cries over icebergs! i feeeel that. thank you for this delightful video!
Now this is the type of content I subscribe for. Fascinating!
Just beautiful, the purity of the ice.
I see them as majestic and other worldly, especially those in the artic from underneath.
Like many things in nature, they are both beautiful and frightening.

This was absolutely stunning and cinematically perfect
Wonderful story and wonderful people. If I lived there I would spend every second I could looking at icebergs!

Can you confirm when the best time is? I see you were there late August, based on the date of your comment. So early August? Late July? Thanks!

Wonderful! Thank you, PBS T. Can’t get enough of you🤭
Wow I would love to visit this place and see an iceberg in person
Beautiful and fascinating. Thank you so much for this story!

What is the best month for a combination of good viewing and less tourists? I would be driving up in a small RV.
Sssshhh, you don't want to many tourists up there. Too many and the place gets wrecked.
@@Patrick_Rossfor icebergs May-June. For less tourists April September
Icebergs are so much more powerful than people know
Wow ❤️ bravo très bon vidéo 👍🇨🇦
I live in Cuba and these big Icebergs come all the way here too. The last time that happened was 230,000 years ago.
You guys need a few towed down for drinking water!
I recognize that woman. Her story was part of the Come From Away broadway musical.
Very cool ❤ thank you. Great production
Thank you for showcasing my home!

Beautiful, the Clouds of the Sea, transient and unique.
It was such a pleasure to see and admire icebergs in NewFoundland. Will go again for sure. Made me cry, soooo beautiful!❤

Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Beautiful video
Beautiful video ❤ I am planing for next End May-Beginning of June. Which city be the best to experience Iceberg? Thanks in advance
Beautiful
Amazing❤

Fascinating!
So beautiful.
The title gave me a powerful mental image of a Mounty clutching a knife while an iceberg splinters the locked door and says "heeeeeeere's Johnny!"
Very cool.
So beautiful. Would love to visit Canada one day.
more untold earth pls
Tis passing strange - also lovely.
Icebergs Keep Visiting "This Town." Which Town?? Newfoundland is a big island with lots of towns along it NE cost. I would love to visit the small town in this video but it is never named
Great video!! enjoted the scenery and story, Thank you
Trinity, Newfoundland ?? Trinity Eco-tours Bob Bartlett seems to be based there. Yep replyed to my own comment 🤓
We also make beer using the iceberg water!
Yes, and iceberg Vodka. Very smooth.
So what’s the name of the town?
Newfoundland is the most creative name I've ever heard 😂
Right, and where are you from?
The warm Gulf stream goes up the coast of Europe across the Arctic and down the Coast of Canada, bringing the cold Ice-burdes with it.
So which town are you speaking about?
I think it's time I went back home for a holiday. 2002 was the last time I took a holiday.
“Barreling” ?
🙏
Simple the gravity pull.
Skipper Bob Bartlett kinda sounds like Jeff goldblum
His grandfather is a famous explorer…like big time!!
jet stream in the ocean underneath.
It's pretty amazing how polar bears just go WAY out into the ocean to hunt seals. They are marine mammals.
I am so glad you didn’t kill the fish.

Please don't drink them all up 😢
Lots of fresh ice water there, just cut them up for drinking cold water or beer making.
They do
I have no idea why Icebergs keep visiting your town but it is probably something to do with currents in our oceans ??!!
So you can just use it as ice!!!! It’s fresh water
they're ice punks, only 10,000 years old, ready to misbehave, who can make them stop? nevermind, we like them, all good.
Are icebergs salty?
They are formed from glaciers so that is fresh water, not salt water from the ocean. @@Jay-ho9io
@@dinkster1729 thanks

Not a big deal we're melting them as fast as possible

Glaciers are dstroying fishing nets
Well, you're destroying the ecosystem so who gives a flying noodle. Deal with it
Music is too loud. I can't listen to the words. Quit half way through. Sorry...

If I wanted Nature-branded feel-good nonsense I wouldn't be watching PBS Terra. Please stick to science.

Icebergs have no wants or desires. Write better titles.
Wasn’t meant in a literal sense!😂
