Iceberg


Hi! While surfing the net earlier, I read about the news regarding an iceberg breaking in Antarctica. Luckily, this incident is not caused by global warming but a natural incident which occured. In 1987, an iceberg called B98 ,which broken off from Antartica, had floated and "parked" near the glacier. Each day, it was constantly pulled and pushed by the water currents and it knocked against the glacier like a giagntic hammer. Hence, it was soon disloged and broke off. Scientists predict that more of such ice will float around the Antartica coast and some would come in the way of others. A couple of scientists are worried that this would disrupt the sinking ability of cole and dense water, leaving several areas starved of oxygen. That's all bye!
