According to experts, the ice block is higher than the one that stood in the way of the Titanic in 1912. As reported by Euronews, the iceberg that approached the city of Ferryland is 16 meters higher and at the highest point is approximately 46 meters.

It has become a popular tourist attraction, although local residents are far from delighted with this presence. At the same time, Coast Guard officer Adam Manning told reporters that the block of ice basically remains in the so-called red zone, but now because of the strong wind and storm it carries to the shore.

This could lead to serious, negative natural conditions, "he explained, adding that the iceberg had already moved and broken a little, but apparently, in the near future it will not go anywhere and it worries, first of all, the fishermen.

The guard also reminded that this year the icebergs are increasingly breaking out of the usual zone and violating the sea routes, forcing vessels either to change the course or to reduce the speed. Since the beginning of this year, already 616 ice blocks have come to the ways in the north of the Atlantic, at a time when for the entire 2016 687 iceberg violators.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, earlier scientists warned that within months of the Antarctic ice will break the largest in the history of the iceberg.
