Ice Berg Ice Berg!
Wednesday on our sunrise news we showed pictures of ice bergs that are drifting near the coasts of Nova Scotia and New Foundland. It's the first time large bergs have been spotted so far south in decades! The bergs pose hazards to fishing and shipping in the region. ( Think Titanic ) The bergs have been breaking off the Greenland Ice sheet. This year the ice bergs are not only futher south than in recent memory but also more numerous.
Joanna Ceciliani, one of our viewers saw the story and rushed off an email to me. According to Joanna, last week she was returning to Oregon from a vacation in Europe. At 30,000ft over the Atlantic she looked out the window. Below her the coast of Greenland. Joanna, pulled out her camera and started taking pictures of ice breaking off glaciers, falling into the sea and drifting out into the North Atlantic. Maybe the same bergs we showed on the news on Wednesday.
