Bay Bulls Iceberg

Our son didn’t go with us to see our first iceberg. We didn’t take our dog with as she still gets carsick. It was my first visit to Bay Bulls, it is beautiful, it reminded me a little off the “Heads” in George. We hiked to have a better view of the berg. The trail-head is part of the East Coast trial, called “The Spout Path”; the Spout is a sea –driven freshwater geezer, which we will hopefully do sometime. The hike starts at “Gunridge”, a 19th century gun embankment, there is also an old cemetery with very interesting old graves.

The hike itself already was worth it, but the ice-berg was not a disappointment. It was about 1 km from us, as high and as big as a building. Through our binoculars we could see tracks and birds on it, but the best was the colors, the sides looked as if they had been spray painted.

It is a tabular berg, relatively low and flat, we estimated it to be about 100-150 M. long, perhaps 75-100 M. wide and at it’s highest point about 10-15 M. above the water.
