日前，在一座巨大的冰山飘移至加拿大东部一个小镇的海岸之后，采风摄影师们蜂拥而至。
Nature photographers have flocked to a small town in Eastern Canada after a huge iceberg drifted just off the coast.
这座高耸的冰山就漂浮在纽芬兰费里兰附近的海域，大批游客慕名前来只为目睹它的风采，导致交通一度堵塞。
The towering iceberg floated into waters just next to Ferryland, Newfoundland, causing bumper-to-bumper traffic as tourists try to get a glimpse of it.
由于北极的冰块每年春天都会漂过来，所以这个地方也因此得名“冰山巷”。
The area is known as "iceberg alley" due to the arctic blocks that float down every spring.
费里兰镇长阿德里安·卡瓦纳在接受加拿大电视台采访时表示，这座特别巨大的冰山有望在此逗留一段时间，因为它看起来好像“搁浅”了。
This particularly huge one is expected to linger off the coast for some time because it looks grounded, Ferryland Mayor Adrian Kavanagh told CTV.
他说道：“这座冰山如此巨大又靠近小镇，游人这次可以尽情地拍照了。这是我在这里见过的最大的冰山。”
"It's a huge iceberg and it's in so close that people can get a good photograph of it," he said. "It's the biggest one I ever seen around here."
加拿大通讯社报道称，今年的冰山较以往有了明显的增加--目前为止已有616座冰山进入了北大西洋航道。要知道，去年九月底冰山季结束时总共才有687座冰山。
Canadian press reported that there had already been more icebergs than normal – with 616 already having moved into the North Atlantic shipping lanes compared to 687 by the late-September season's end last year.
专家认为，这可能是由于罕见的强风而造成的，并与全球变暖有关。
Experts said it could be because of uncommonly strong winds and possibly global warming.
