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.
The Web sites
listed here are not part of USATODAY.com, but have reliable
