Arctic Floes Ice Berg Ice Bergs Labrador Narrows Newfoundland
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and raw power of nature in St. John's Harbour, Newfoundland, circa 1910s. The icy scene is dominated by towering icebergs and Arctic ice floes drifting through The Narrows, the narrowest point of the harbor. The entrance to St. John's, Canada's oldest city, is framed by the rugged cliffs of the eastern seaboard, with the labyrinthine network of wooden jetties and wharves visible in the foreground. The image transports us back in time to an era when the maritime industry thrived in Newfoundland, with the sails of traditional wooden ships silhouetted against the icy backdrop. The ships, laden with fish and other goods, bravely navigate the treacherous waters, their crews no doubt awed by the natural wonder that surrounds them. The icebergs and ice floes, which originated from the melting glaciers of Labrador and Greenland, are a reminder of the harsh Arctic climate that shapes this unique landscape. The icy formations, with their intricate patterns and textures, are a testament to the raw power and unpredictability of nature. This photograph is a visual feast for those who appreciate the natural world, and a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between human endeavor and the forces of nature. It invites us to reflect on the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
