Because of a huge iceberg, kilometer-long traffic jams are gathering in a Canadian village
A tiny fishing village on the east coast of Canada can barely cope with the sudden influx of tourists. The fact is that on Easter weekend, a huge iceberg more than 45 meters in height became visible from the shore. Residents will now have to get used to this situation for a while.

The ice block sailed to the shores of Ferryland, a remote settlement in Newfoundland, known as the alley of icebergs — coastal waters, where Arctic visitors often come.
The height of the iceberg is more than 45 meters, and it is even larger than the iceberg that the Titanic collided with in 1912.
Crowds of tourists who came to look at the iceberg in Ferryland flooded all the entrances to the settlement and created huge traffic jams.
The iceberg has reached shallow water and is now standing still. It is unlikely that he will go anywhere in the near future.
This could be a golden hour for local entrepreneurs, although the two restaurants available here will not open until the start of the season on May 24.
It remains only to guess how the residents of Ferryland will monetize the appearance of an unexpected iceberg.
