Iceberg finder for your trip to NewfoundlandJune and early July are best for seeing Icebergs
July 8th 2009
June and early July are a great time to be in Newfoundland if you are keen to see some icebergs. The Northern Peninsula and Bay bull south of St Johns are both great iceberg viewing locales. Toursim Newfoundland has an "Iceberg Finder" - a google map showing icebergs that have been detected around Newfoundland and Labrador within the last 5 days. Some icebergs have been detected by satellite and some have been reported by select tourism operators.

The Tablelands
June 15th 2008
Norris Point, our home for the last three nights is surrounded by impressive mountains including , the famed Tablelands of Gros Morne. Today we hiked up to the Partidge Lookout which featured a forest floor of bunchberry and pitcher plants not to mention great views of Bonnie Bay. Later in the afternoon, we sramble half way up the Tablelands to get a sense of the unique rock that came from 30 km beneath the earth’s surface. Hiking in Gros Morne is one big real life slice of geology 101.It is impossible to be here without been awed by the powers of glaciers and earth plates craming into one another.

Kayaking Bonnie Bay
June 14th 2008
16 years ago, Eva was out here at Gros Morne National Park paddling with Sue and Bob from Gros Morne Adventures. Eva recalls her trip fondly including the great organization of the kayak guide team. Bob and Sue’s tips on how to kayak in the tides and seas helped Eva frame her own kayak trip style and love for all things kayaking. Yesterday we had the pleasure to return here as a family and head out on Bonnie Bay for a morning tour of the bay with great views of the Long Range Mountains. Langford & Company’s Big Impressions includes a guided day with Sue and Bob.
