Resources: Antarctic and Arctic Icebergs

Since 1912 when the Titanic sank after striking an iceberg, ships or planes from the International Ice Patrol, have searched the waters of the North Atlantic off Newfoundland to report icebergs that have broken off Greenland's ice sheet and drifted into the shipping lanes between North America and Europe. The world's largest icebergs break off from Antarctica, but these rarely drift into shipping lanes where they can endanger ships. The links below take you to news stories and basic information about Arctic and Antarctic icebergs.
