Photo: Pack Ice Fog Strait Belle Isle Newfoundland

Pack ice can be seen on a foggy day in the Strait of Belle Isle from Sandy Cove along Highway 430 which is part of the world famous Viking Trail on the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada.

Pack ice can be seen in the Strait of Belle Isle even during a foggy day, from Sandy Cove, which is situated along the world famous Viking Trail on the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada. Sandy Cove is a very small town of only about 160 people and is part of what is known as the Trails to the Vikings, or the Viking Trail, a scenic route that many people travel on when they come to this area of Newfoundland. This trail leads to an old viking settlement that is a thousand years old.

This pack ice was seen in the Strait of Belle Isle, which is an area of water that separates the Labrador Peninsula from Newfoundland.

... It also can be very foggy at times, such as on the day this photograph was taken, generally because of the weather systems constantly moving over this cold sea surface of ice, fog is a staple of life in this area.

Pack ice is when the sea freezes and forms an icy crust on the surface of the water; it floats and can move and can become bigger or smaller depending on the season and temperature. It can be both loose ice and ice that is attached to the shore. The varying shapes of the pack ice are formed by the motion of the sea water, and the sheets of ice moving against one another which forms ridges.
