Mysterious black iceberg spotted off Labrador coast

In the chilly waters of the North Atlantic, it's not uncommon to see icebergs floating by.

During the spring and summer, bright white glacial giants of every shape and size drift past the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.

But floating serenely amid the pale ice chunks was one iceberg that left a fisherman completely baffled.

While its size was impressive, there was one other thing that particularly made it stand out — the fact that it was completely black.

Hallur Antoniussen, originally from the Faroe Islands, was aboard a fishing trawler when he spotted the strange sight last month. “I have seen icebergs that are rolled, what they say have rolled in the beach with some rocks in it,” he told CBC Radio.
