It turns out there are loads of Icebergs heading for New Zealand!
While initial reports claimed it all to be environmental terrorism, scientists just said “What? Eh? You’re having a laugh aint-cha?!”
Meanwhile New Zealanders were spotted running through the streets wearing life jackets and running for boats.
Seriously though and joking aside, it transpires there a is a reasonable sized flotilla of hundreds of Icebergs heading up from Antarctica where they broke away from large ice shelves.
Even basic observations have counted more 250 of them and some of these are over 100 feet tall.
The nearest being about 150 miles from NZ – and closing fast
Icebergs have various classifications in size, shape and longevity according to the International Ice Patrol and they can all be seen HERE
I can’t help but be fascinated by the iceberg categories growlers and bergy bits– just get a giggle out of those two for some reason….too easily amused I suppose
