We said "We're heading north, what should we see?" and the locals said, Icebergs??" Yep, we'd been on Newfoundland for a couple weeks, no TV at home and not the right kind of research, either, apparently. It was one of the most talked-about arrivals of icebergs from Greenland in years drawing flotillas of photographers and folks in need of ice for their mixed drinks, and we nearly missed it.
