A unique black iceberg has been discovered in Canada, leaving many intrigued. The rare finding was made by a fish harvester named Hallur Antoniussen in mid-May while he was out fishing for shrimp near Labrador. Antoniussen, who has been fishing for over 50 years, was amazed by the iceberg's black color and diamond shape, unlike anything he had seen before.
Antoniussen captured a photo of the black iceberg from a distance of six kilometers and shared it on social media, sparking curiosity among viewers. The iceberg, which is estimated to be three times the size of a regular bungalow, also features dark greys and black veins, making it even more mysterious.
Lev Tarasov, a physicist and glacial earth systems modeller at Memorial University, suggested that a volcanic eruption may have caused the iceberg to turn black. While he acknowledged that he had never seen anything like it before, Tarasov speculated that the ice in the iceberg could be at least 1,000 years old, possibly even older, up to 100,000 years.
