The coast off Newfoundland and Labrador id known as "iceberg alley". It is off Newfoundland's coast, where the Titanic sunk. Icebergs are created in the spring of the year when the edges of Greenland's gaciers crack off as they slide into  the ocean. Some believe that greenhouse warming increases their numbers.
