Sea Ice Arrives in Flatrock


Every winter, sea ice forms in the Atlantic Ocean off Labrador. Each spring it drifts south towards Newfoundland. It brings with it breeding seals, fog and for those who see it, a reminder of the annual cycle of the ocean. This week the sea ice arrived in Flatrock and Torbay. It is great to see!

If we are lucky, the icebergs will start showing up in a short while.

VOCM reported yesterday that there were about 250 bergs in the area compared to 150 last year. Hopefully there'll be lots of chances to see a few a bit later.
