A man from Dildo, N.L. has captured the attention of iceberg lovers after photographing an oddly-shaped hunk now popularly known as the "dickie berg" on social media off the coast of Newfoundland.
"I'm gettin' a lot of response, a lot of reaction to the photo because of its resemblance to ... part of the male anatomy, say," chuckled drone photographer Ken Pretty.
In an interview Friday, Pretty said he noticed from his very first photograph that the iceberg, in an area of the province known as Conception Bay, had online potential.
The berg got its nickname from the term "dickie bird," a Newfoundland euphemism for the male anatomy.

I have to admit I laughed out loud when I read this. It could only happen in Newfoundland.

(14,142 posts)I didn't realize there was a "berg season" Must stay pretty cool up there to have those floating around in June.
Obviously I don't travel at all so I hadn't even thought about that kind of climate/seasonal event. Kind of like our afternoon thunderstorm/hail season in August lol
Thanks for the chuckle...I had to point out to a couple friends NOT the Onion!
