Subject: RE: Iceberg Alley, Newfoundland



NS Canada		Based off of reading this :

'It can take large icebergs up to three or four years to melt. Greenlandic icebergs can float as far south as to the sea outside New York City, before they finally disappear.'

That would be over 6000 miles. I know I've saw them for 3 days or so, sailing east of Newfoundland. The water warms up quite fast as the gulf stream heads to europe though.

'Every year about 40,000 medium- to large-sized icebergs break off, or calve, from Greenland glaciers. Only about 400-800 make it as far south as St. John's, but these numbers can vary greatly from year to year. '
