Icebergs From The North
While the iceberg that sunk the titanic may be long gone, each year thousands of pieces break off from the same Greenland glaciers and make their way south through the Atlantic shipping lanes each year. Come and learn more about these icy giants and their 10,000+ year old ice!
Have you ever wanted to touch a piece of real iceberg ice? Our Iceberg exhibit offers a really COOL hands on experience with a piece of iceberg transported right inside of our walls. Come join us and learn about where these massive floating ice cubes come from and how they were formed!
Not much is known about the iceberg that sunk the Titanic on that fateful night in 1912, however, the area she was struck off the coast of Newfoundland is known as "Iceberg Alley" and is still a threat to ships and other offshore infrastructure today!
The Thompson Family
We came because the kids wanted to see the Titanic exhibit, but they were more interested in the icebergs (especially getting to touch a piece of iceberg ice!). This is a great family activity for anyone visiting downtown Halifax!"
