Watching Ice Melt
Posted on 8 August 2009 by Stenberg-Tendys W.L. in Uncategorized
The North Atlantic and cold waters surrounding the Antarctica are home to most of the world’s icebergs. Ice that has formed on land and eventually broken off from either glaciers, or ice shelves. They travel with the ocean currents until they reach warmer waters and begin to thaw, leaking nutrients into the water around them.
Giant Ice Sculptures
As the ice melts, wonderful shapes begin to form, better than any hand made sculptor could create. So when you have nothing else to do, just find a stony beach and watch the ice melt. You’ll be amazed.
The Boat Gives Perspective
Melting ice in a glass never looks this good.
If you look closely you can see a boatload of people that helps give you the perspective of these giant ice sculptures.
After the sinking of the Titanic near Newfoundland in 1912, twelve countries formed the International Ice Patrol. Giants over 5,400 feet are tracked by satellite and warnings forwarded to shipping.
