Notes

When icebergs were seen off the coast of southern New Zealand in November 2006, Otago Daily Times photographer Stephen Jaquiery was first on the scene, provoking an avalanche of interest from around the world.

Writer Dave Cull tracks the journey of the icebergs from their Antarctic beginnings to their appearance and demise in the temperate waters off the coast of the South Island. He answers the questions: how are icebergs formed; why did these ones travel so far north; how big are they; where did they come from; will we see more, and, is their appearance the result of global warming?
