Huge Icebergs floating away from Greenland toward Grand Banks

From RSOE EDIS - 02/02/2011

An iceberg expert says there's a slim chance two gigantic islands of ice drifting south from the Arctic could reach Newfoundland's Grand Banks as early as August. Luc Desjardins, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service, says the icebergs have a long way to go and they could break up or get stuck in some Arctic bay in the months ahead. However, he says the unusually large bergs have a shallow draft, which means they could float over the Grand Banks. He says there's a one-in-a-million chance one of the frozen slabs could hit the Hibernia offshore oil platform, but it's anybody's guess what path they will take. One of the icebergs is 84 square kilometres, the other 65, making it about the size of Manhattan. Both were once part of a gigantic slab that calved from a glacier in northwestern Greenland last August.
