Another news about iceberg. I went on yahoo page and saw this news about Australia shipping alert over massive iceberg. I began reading it and it seemed interesting to know what's going on around us. A NASA satellite took a image of iceberg floating southwest off the West Australian coast. The experts believe the iceberg known as B17B will enter warmer waters nearer Australia, creating hundred of smaller iceberg in a hazard to passing ships.Its not really near yet, but it is coming close. Because of the change in weather the icebergs are coming in north before they only floated around Antarctica. This is only happening because sea temperatures are rising through global warming. "Its discovery comes after two other large icebergs were spotted further east, off Australia's Macquarie Island, followed by more than 100 smaller chunks heading towards New Zealand," glaciologist Neal Young said on Thursday.
