Despite their size, icebergs can move an average of 17 kilometres (about 10 miles) a day and may have an interior temperature of -15 to -20°C. Winds and currents bring them closer to the coast. On a foggy April night in 1912, one such iceberg sank the Titanic.

Twillingate, known as the “Iceberg Capital of the World,” offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles: towering icebergs drifting along the North Atlantic coast.

Each spring and early Summer (May, June), massive ice formations break away from Greenland’s glaciers and make their way along Iceberg Alley, passing right along Twillingate’s rugged coastline. Visitors can witness these icy giants from our Rockcut coastal trails, picturesque lookouts, or up close on boat tours that navigate the waters of Notre Dame Bay.
