Hallur Antoniussen took this picture in May with the caption: "Not everyday you see a black iceberg." Photo by Hallur Antoniussen /Facebook Article content A rare black iceberg photographed off the coast of Labrador has been making the rounds of social media on this planet, but its unusual colour could be the result of it carrying material from another world.
Article content The picture first surfaced last month after a fish harvester from Carbonear, N.L., took a photo of it while fishing for shrimp last month.
Article content Article content Hallur Antoniussen, 64, was working aboard the Saputi, a factory freezer trawler operated by the Qikiqtaaluk Fisheries Corporation, off the coast of Labrador in mid-May, when he spotted the black berg.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Black iceberg, in honor of “Juneteenth” perhaps?
Asteroid fell from the sky because of global warming
Why would it be floating?
It is being oppressed by the white iceberg in the distance. It is just horrible.
Don’t they make vodka from the icebergs up there , black vodka from this one
What would the yellow iceberg signify?
Ouch.
Are we supposed to call it an African LabradorIan Iceberg?
Frozen water isn’t as dense as liquid water, so ice is bouyant. What you see above the surface of the water is just a fraction of what is hidden below.
Looks like an oversized version of a winter road booger that fell off a car in Buffalo, lol.
Before anyone beats me to it, Climate Change!
Could be penguins with magic markers…
Hmmm. Not sure you’re correct. Tell you what: in a while I’m going to make me an Old Fashioned, and I’ll let you know if the ice cubes float
yes, i think I see a polar bear standing on top of it
There goes the ice cap.
It’s being supported by some not so black iceberg below the surface.
The black iceberg might be pykrete, made up of charred ancient forest burned from what ever.
It’s a space poopy, ask Joe Dirt.
