Yes, it happens every year. Maybe not as big as that one. But it's a tourist attraction. Lots of people travel to that area just to watch the icebergs go by. I think there are boat tours you can take to get closer to them.

IIRC, that is a fairly well known thing and there are folks who actually book tours to try to see it, kind of like chasing the aurora borealis.

I see this was answered as I slowly pecked away on my phone.

Thank you. I am relieved and wish I was there right now. Too damned hot (106 currently)

It is somewhat unusual to have icebergs this late in the season, but icebergs themselves are around every year in Newfoundland. My step-FIL lives in an area that tends to have a lot of icebergs and gathers the “bergy bits” for drinks

That’s really cool. I never knew that.
