Icebergs now near Timaru
Two fishing boats - the Nidaro and the Amber Wave - have reported seeing icebergs heading north.
Nidaro skipper Blendon Laurie did more than report sightings of icebergs - he got up close enough to take a piece home to show the kids.
An iceberg appeared on the horizon while the boat was about 60 kilometres out from the Timaru coast.
"We saw it on the horizon, and weren't sure what it was, but then we saw it was an iceberg."
Mr Laurie estimated the iceberg was about 30 to 45 metres high and a good 45m across.
"It's not something you'd like to hit."
Quick, somebody call Algore. Oh, wait...was it too many icebergs that are caused by global warming or too few? I get so confused. I'm sure the Global Warming ® Industry will have a reasonable explanation for this. I'll just wait here, still not holding my breath.
