A man from Dildo, N.L. has captured the attention of iceberg lovers after photographing an oddly-shaped hunk — now popularly known as the "dikkie 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.
Pictures of it on Facebook had garnered over 3,000 shares and "a lot of comments" by Friday morning, Pretty said.
"Maybe I should call him," one user wrote.
"Frozen stiff," remarked another.
Pretty says he's lucky he got there when he did.
"It's melting all the time. I mean, it might go limp," he said.
It's already shaping up to be a banner year for icebergs in Newfoundland and Labrador, with tourists and locals alike sharing their encounters online after a stretch of less-than-impressive seasons.
Canadian Ice Service data shows over 200 icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland alone as of last week, with dozens more off the coast of Labrador making their way south.
But anyone rushing off to see the "dikkie berg" of Harbour Grace for themselves is in for a disappointment.
Facebook users say the tip has fallen off.
