Photographer finds photo of penis-shaped iceberg near town called Dildo

A photographer from the town of Dildo discovered an iceberg shaped like a penis off of the coast of Newfoundland in Canada.

Ken Pretty posted a snap of the penis-shaped-ice to his Facebook page on Friday, resulting in plenty of comments about the phallic-shaped ice.

“Took a piece off the Dicky Berg, stiffest drink I ever had,” wrote one user.

“Well we’ll know whose to blame if a bunch of baby icebergs start popping up in the Atlantic,” said another.

A third said: “Usually it’s smaller than this when it’s cold.”

Pretty explained that he used a drone to get the best picture of the iceberg, which is estimated to be anywhere between 30-50 metres tall.

“Looking from the land, it wasn’t quite clear,” he told The Guardian.

“But once I got the drone out there, it was unreal how much it looked like – well, you know.”

He even said that he was accused of altering the photos given how similar it looked.

“People don’t believe it’s real. They think it’s photoshopped and all that,” Pretty said. “I can tell you – it’s real.”

However, for those hoping it’s still there, Pretty – who hails from the town called Dildo (how ironic) – revealed that the iceberg changed shape a day later.

“The day after I took the picture, the ‘shape’ of interest collapsed, so I probably have the last ‘erect’ picture of it,” Pretty added.
