    Only Blue Will Do
  • After a foggy and bumpy five hour car ride, followed by a white-knuckle zodiac boat ride, I was beginning to wonder whether coming to Quirpon Island on a family trip had been a horrible decision. My fears were assuaged, however, as soon we made our final approach to the island and I looked up to behold something that I had been waiting years to see. A massive iceberg appeared out of the mist, and in an instant I knew that this would undoubtedly be one of the best trips of our lives. I stood slack-jawed, completely in awe at this incredible sight, and as soon as we landed I ran down to the rocky shore to get a closer look. I was so caught up in taking photos that I missed the ride up to our accommodations at the Quirpon Lighthouse Inn, and the initial excitement that I felt that foggy afternoon never dissipated as I spent the following three days giddily photographing these icy, ancient beauties. Quirpon Island, Newfoundland.
    Welcome to the Show
  • A large iceberg looks out towards a fellow comrade floating on the horizon. Look closely in the upper right and you'll see a flock of seabirds gliding through the air, dwarfed by the immense scale of the iceberg and open ocean. Quirpon Island, Newfoundland.
    Drift Apart
  • A bergy bit bobs in the water near Quirpon Island, Newfoundland. I found the incredible aqua color of the submerged portion of ice glowing beneath the water to be even more fascinating than the fanciful shape that the bergy bit was carved into as it slowly melted.
    What's Left Unseen
  • A zodiac boat works its way between icebergs off the rugged coast of Quirpon Island, Newfoundland.
    Odyssey
  • The chiseled face of a large iceberg looks out towards a fellow comrade floating on the horizon. Quirpon Island, Newfoundland.

    Of Ice and Men
  • An iceberg emerges through mysterious fog as waves crash on the rugged coast of Quirpon Island, Newfoundland. The icebergs that can be found floating the icy waters  around Newfoundland are 10,000 - 20,000 years old, and have spent 4-6 years drifting down after calving off the glaciers of Greenland.
    Out of the Mist
  • A fogbow forms over the ocean and perfectly frames a bergy bit floating in the water below, as seen from the rugged cliffs of Quirpon Island, Newfoundland. Quirpon Island was once known as the "Isle of Demons" by sailors in the 16th century, and was thought to be inhabited by devils and wild beasts that would torment anyone that dared land on the island. Formed in a similar fashion as rainbows, fogbows are caused by sunlight passing through water droplets in thin fog. Since the water droplets in fog are so small, fogbows have only weak colors or are colorless, but still made for an exciting, unexpected, and spooky spectacle when it presented itself to us while hiking along the cliffs of the “Isle of Demons.”
    Isle of Demons
  • An iceberg floats through the icy water near Quirpon Island, Newfoundland, like a clipper ship made of 10,000 year old ice sailing off to the unknown.
    Clipper
  • The handiwork of Mother Nature attains a level of grandeur and intricacy unreachable by any human-made object. Here she's begun to carve a large iceberg into what looks like a dolphin. She better hurry though, as it looks like it won't be long til the back end cracks off. Quirpon Island, Newfoundland.
    Handiwork
  • A pristine mountain brook cascades down the peridotite rock of the Tablelands. This rock originated from the Earth's mantle, and several hundred million years ago tectonic plate collisions drove it to the surface. The reddish-brown color stems from its high iron content. Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland.

    Hidden Falls
  • One hundred years ago, on December 11, 1919, the SS Ethie got caught in a violent tempest off the west coast of Newfoundland. With the ship nearly out of coal and iced over, the decision was made to intentionally run the ship aground in an attempt to prevent it from being claimed by the storm and the savage sea. All 92 passengers were fortunately rescued and survived the ordeal, including a baby that was sent ashore via rope chair in a mail sack! News of the rescue spread far and wide, and the story was picked up by the Associated Press and was published in the Philadelphia Ledger. Somewhere along the way, as the story was retold and possibly embellished, the greatest hero of the rescue became a Newfoundland dog. The Hero Dog was said to have swum from the breached ship to land with a rope in its mouth, in order to bring the rope to observers on shore so that the passengers could be rescued. While the veracity of these stories will likely never be fully known, remnants of the wreck can still be seen strewn about the rocky and beautiful coast at Martin’s Point, and make for a very interesting spot to stop and explore while traveling the west coast of Newfoundland.
