Bob Currie of Discovery Sea Adventures in Bonavista said Thursday it’s a banner iceberg viewing season driven by increasing attention on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. There are at least three icebergs near the town that can be reached by boat, including a giant one grounded in 120 metres of water, he said. “If you could see that out of the water, it would blow you away.”About nine-tenths of an iceberg are typically hidden under the cold North Atlantic waves. “Heading to massive iceberg off St. John’s now!”Photos soon followed of passengers taking selfies with a berg that looked a bit like a giant dog laying down. That’s almost as many as were counted during last year’s entire ice season, which usually ends in late September.
