A man from Dildo, N.L. has captured the attention of iceberg lovers after photographing an oddly-shaped hunk — now popularly known as the "dickie 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. The berg got its nickname from the term "dickie bird," a Newfoundland euphemism for the male anatomy. 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.
