Photo: Pack Ice Picture Newfoundland

Pack ice blocks the St Anthony Harbour in Newfoundland, Canada and puts a stop to all commercial fishing but it makes an excellent picture for tourists to this area.

If you travel to St. Anthony, Newfoundland in the summer months, you can get an amazing picture of the pack ice that fills the harbour. Large chunks of ice have broken off the larger icebergs and made their way into the harbour of St. Anthony which can make it difficult for boaters until it thaws.Each piece of pack ice is unique in its shape and size and is continuously changing as the ice begins to melt. Under the surface of the water, you can see how much area the pack ice takes up and how green in color it looks. In the crevasses of the pack ice, aqua hues break through which creates a picture of magic as most people think that the ice is simply white in color.Pack ice can enter the harbour anytime during the winter months in Newfoundland and can sometimes take up to the middle of June before it finally disappears. No one can tell just how long the ice will hang around, as that is something that only Mother Nature has control of. ... continue below the picture...
