blue ice




It takes about two to three years for the icebergs to drift the 1,800 nautical miles southbound from the Labrador Current to the Grand Banks off Newfoundland.
In April of 2017, a giant iceberg reached Ferryland where Michael Winsor captured this photo.
The top stamp is a painting by Mary Pratt from 1991.

Icebergs are amazing. The painting seems a picture, indeed.

See my blue stamps here.

The painting manages to convey the looming immensity of icebergs, love it.

It must be incredible to see an iceberg float past your town like that. Stunning artwork, too.
