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.
“I have seen icebergs that are rolled, what they say have rolled in the beach with some rocks in it,” he told CBC Radio’s Labrador Morning show. “This one here is completely different. It’s not only that he is all black. He is almost … in a diamond shape.”

Giant lump of Coal ??
Flying Reindeer poop. ......................
Must be one from Afreeka...
I’ve got a fever. And the only thing this iceberg needs is more grant money.
I agree. However, that doesn't explain why the thing is round and why it hasn't melted since black absorbs heat and it should have melted.
I found a black bumble bee on my 4-o’clocks ... was he hit by an asteroid too?
Black iceberg post on Juneteenth. Discuss.
It’s on its way to Africa.
Thanks. Rocks around the clock.
Black icebergs matter.
Trump’s fault...
Juneteenth iceberg.
Looks like sooty slush
I’m thinking volcanic ash or oil spill from the 70’s..............
I hope they will send some scientists or prospectors to bring back samples. They can then figure what caused the color, and approximately when that happened. Maybe they can backtrack the original location of the berg and make a big find of some sort.
My bad.
I left the campfire going.
5.56mm
Not a black iceburg.
That’s Noah’s Ark.
Or an acorn.
UFO....unidentified floating object, that I just identified, so, there.
Ships flushes tanks mistrey ensues.
A sample of the ice would be helpful. Maybe a sub-glacial volcanic eruption at the point of origin? Maybe the glacier formed in a muck pool along the coast and picked up the color? Hope someone tests soon!
