icebergs off the coast of new zealand
Scores of icebergs have floated to within about 300 km (186 miles) of New Zealand, with the largest measuring about 1.8 km (1.1 miles) in length and standing some 120 meters (360 feet) above water. National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research oceanographer Mike Williams said on Wednesday the icebergs were likely part of a larger piece of ice which broke off the Ronne Ice Shelf, located southeast of the Falkland Islands, six years ago. The original iceberg, named A-43, was 167 km (104 miles) long 32 km (20 miles) wide. Williams said about 100 icebergs, first detected by New Zealand's air force on Friday, had drifted eastward, south of Africa and Australia, in the dominant Antarctic Circumpolar Current. "It's a natural but a rare phenomenon. It requires a lot of rare occurrences to happen simultaneously," he said.
