The article describes the spectacle of a large iceberg, identified as resembling Jesus, that appeared off the coast, capturing the attention of locals. Doug Prentice, who first posted about it online, sparked rapid sharing and public interest. Revered by visitors as "Cristo del Atlantico," it transformed the beach into a site of reflection and community gathering. Artists weighed in on its appearance in spiritual contexts, while tourism officials branded the season as "Pack Ice Season" to adjust public expectations. As spring progressed, the iceberg became central to local life and connection.
"The resemblance is uncanny. #Jesus #iceberg #icebergjesus #jesusinice. He's got to be at least thirty metres tall!"
"Our own Cristo del Pacifico, but in Atlantic ice. Cristo del Atlantico!" Reverend Bennett exclaimed.
"The resemblance is so striking. God is in the glaciers," noted an artist reflecting on the iceberg's appearance.
"Pack Ice Season" was introduced by tourism officials to reframe public expectations of the incoming spring.
