Man snaps photo of iceberg off N.L. with distinctly masculine feature
GRIQUET, N.L. — Jamie Ellison’s botanical tour of northern Newfoundland provided a whole different kind of nature lesson when he looked out to a local bay and saw an iceberg with a distinctly masculine flourish.
The Nova Scotia-based horticulture instructor and 10 tour companions stood slack-jawed on the shoreline in Griquet as they took in the impressive ice formation and its clear phallic protuberance.
He says their quiet awe quickly turned to giggles, while prompting some “rude comments” as they came up with a name for the soaring structure.
“So someone threw out ‘penis-berg,’” he said with a laugh from Hubbards, N.S., on Monday. “We all had a good chuckle and were laughing and just thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, this is very phallic.’ We actually didn’t expect to see quite what we saw!”
