The Canadian Coast Guard is warning people of icebreaking happening around Lewisporte Harbour this week.

The CCGS Henry Larson is breaking ice around the harbour until Wednesday, and will leave a wide open track in the fast ice in Lewisporte Run.

The Coast Guard says it does not have absolute control on the ice and, depending on the conditions, the ice can be pushed instead of broken and can crack far away from where the icebreaker is working.
