The Satellite image above, is from NASA's new MODIS Lance Web Mapping Service. It was taken this past Wednesday the 14th. You can clearly see the pack ice moving down the Northeast Coast of the Island. (Click the photo to zoom in for the High Res version. It takes awhile to load, but it's totally worth it!)

 

Over the past few weeks, many of you have been asking for an update on the Sea Ice and Iceberg situation... and I thought this would be a good chance.

 

This awesome shot was taken by Helen Grant, in Elliston on the Bonavista Peninsula.

 

 

By the way, thank you to so many of you, who have been sharing your photos on my Facebook page. Keep them coming! And if you want to see some of the great photos people have been posting & share your own, check out www.facebook.com/ryan.snoddon and click "LIKE"

 

I'm hoping to see many more Iceberg photos in the coming weeks! This map from Environment Canada's Ice Services shows a solid number working down the North Coast of Newfoundland. Keep your eyes open & cameras ready!

 

 

After a normally cold Winter for most of Labrador the ice situation along the Coast of Labrador is running, pretty close to normal. Have a look at the legend at the bottom of map for Ice Concentration

 

 

Following a slow start, the pack ice has finally moved down the Northeast Coast of Newfoundland and is sitting about where it should be for this time of year.

 

 

It's in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where the Sea Ice is running very low again this year.

 

 

This map below shows where the Sea Ice should be this time of year, based on 1981-2010. Area's in red, again primarily in the Gulf, are where the Ice should be at this time in March.
