    People have been heading to Ferryland in the southeast corner of the island to get a good look at the white behemoth.

    One resident told CBC News that the iceberg is 46 metres tall at its highest point.

    Look at this monster towering over the town.

    To get a sense of scale, just look at how small that helicopter landing on the right side of the iceberg is.

    The iceberg drew so many curious visitors that it caused a traffic jam over the Easter long weekend, according to a Canadian Press report.
