ICEBERGING IN QUIDI VIDI
ICEBERGING
TAKE YOUR CAMERA, CLIMB, TRECK BE THE FIRST ONE TO SPOT IT AND SHOOT.
WHEN I LANDED IN ST-JOHNS NEWFOUNDLAND I WAS ALL EXCITED WHEN I HEARD THAT THE ICEBERGS WERE IN TOWN. I WAS REALLY HAPPY I NEVER SAW ANY ICEBERGS FROM CLOSE.
SO, THE NEXT DAY, AFTER A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP WAITING FOR THE FOG TO LIFT, I UP ON A TAXI AND DROVE TO SEE MY FIRST EVER ICEBERG EVEN THO IT WAS A VERY COLD AND WINDY DAY.
WE DROVE ON A ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES UNTIL WE REACH A DEAD END AND RUSH TO GET OUT THE CAR TO SEE IT.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? I ASKED THE TAXI DRIVER.
DIDN'T YOU SEE IT? HE ASKED ME WITH IS VERY STRONG NEWFOUNDLAND ACCENT.
NO! WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? I ASKED SORRY TO SEE I HAVE MISSED IT.
HE BACK UP THE CAR AND THERE IT WAS BETWEEN 2 HUGE CLIFFS.
SPECTACULAR.
AMAZING.
WE GOT OFF THE CAR IN A HURRY TO SEE IT FROM CLOSE BUT MY DRIVER WHO SEE THEM GO BY IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE ALL HIS LIFE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE SHORE.
TOO DANGEROUS HE SAID.
COME ON I INSISTED.
HE SAID NO.
YOU NEED TO JOIN A TOUR ON A BIG SHIP BUT
I WAS THERE TO WORK FLYING OUT OF TOWN BUT I WILL BE BACK TO DO SOME ICEBERGING AGAIN ON MY DAYS OFF.
THE SEASON TO ICEBERGING IS OPEN.
BEAUTIFUL ICEBERGS ARE COMING IN QUIDI VIDI GUT LIKE THEY CALL IT DOWN THERE AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE SOME ALL AROUND THE SUBBURB OF ST-JOHNS NEW FOUNDLAND IN THE AVALONE REGION.
THE SEASON IS OPEN BUT BEWARE DO NOT CLIMB THE ICEBERG LIKE SOME 2 FRENCH MEN DID IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
AN ICEBERG CAN FLIP TO IT'S BACK IN SECONDS IT MAKE A HUGE EXPLOSION AND CAN EVEN DISAPPEAR BY MELTING IN FRACTION OF SECONDS.
YOU CAN SEE ONLY 1/8 OF THE ICEBERG SO IF IT DID FLIP YOU MIGHT BE FACING A HUGE MOUNTAIN OF ICE.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED ON THE TITANIC ONE SECOND YOU SEE A SMALL ICEBERG AND BY A FRACTION OF SECOND YOU ARE FACING A HUGE MONTAIN OF ICEBERG.
WHO KNOWS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON THE TITANIC THAT NIGHT.
IN THIS TINY FISHING VILLAGE THERE EVEN IS A BREWERY THAT USES ICE TO DO THEIR TASTY BEER.
IF YOU TAKE A PIECE OF ICEBERG AND PUT IT IN A GLASS OF WATER IT CAN LAST FOR AROUND 7 HOURS BEFORE IT MELT.
QUIDI VIDI VILLAGE WAS THE CLOSEST VILLAGE TO THE TITANIC WHEN IT HIT THE ICEBERG. IT IS SITUATED 365 MILES FROM THE CATASTROPHIC SIGHT.
ICEBERGING IT IS!
