Icebergs right ahead!

Iceberg viewing in Newfoundland has become an annual spectator sport in the spring.

This year's icebergs are exceptionally close to people's back doors, some standing as high as 150 feet tall.

The optimal viewing spot in Newfoundland to see these massive icebergs is in Ferryland.

Ferryland is about an hour's drive from St. John's and has a population of less than 500 people.

Tourists and locals will head outside of St. John's to this point just watch the icebergs drift.

And if you can't make the journey to Newfoundland, don't worry, the Iceberg Map has got you covered.

It tracks all the icebergs moving off the shores of Newfoundland and drifting towards Greenland.

Fast Facts:

* There are six basic types of icebergs:

1. Tabular

3. Dome

4. Drydock

5. Pinnacled

6. Blocky

* Only 10 per cent of the the volume of an iceberg is above water, hence the expression 'tip of the iceberg'.

* The largest iceberg recorded was more than 31,000 square kilometres by 97 kilometres and was an Antarctic tabular iceberg.
