Each spring hundreds of icebergs float past the Newfoundland coastline. After calving off the glaciers in Greenland, they float south along a route called “Iceberg Alley.”
Some of the inhabitants of Newfoundland have developed a business model based on this natural phenomenon. These entrepreneurs tow smaller icebergs into the harbor and melt them into the purest drinking water in existence. But first the hunters have to search out the best ones and travel up to a thousand miles along the coast to find the most promising bergs. Iceberg hunters find it difficult to estimate the volume of icebergs beneath the waterline. In addition to purveyors of drinking water, in the harbor are also vintners, vodka distillers and beer brewers, all waiting for the precious frozen cargo.
