SYDNEY (AFP) – More than 100, and possibly hundreds, of Antarctic icebergs are floating towards New Zealand in a rare event which has prompted a shipping warning, officials said on Monday.
An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist said the ice chunks, spotted by satellite photography, had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island, about 450 kilometres (280 miles) northeast.
Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs -- some measuring more than 200 metres (650 feet) across -- were seen in just one cluster, indicating there could be hundreds more.
He said they were the remains of a massive ice floe which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming.
"All of these have come from a larger one that was probably 30 square kilometres (11.6 square miles) in size when it left Antarctica," Young told AFP.
"It's done a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it are breaking up and producing smaller ones."
He said large numbers of icebergs had not floated this close to New Zealand since 2006, when a number came within 25 kilometres of the coastline -- the first such sighting since 1931.

They’re on their way to the North Pole... to replace the ice that Algore photoshopped out.
That global warming is crazy, I tell you.

I just have to ask the obvious question:
WHAT CAUSED IT IN 1931?
Isn’t it normal for the S. Pole to get warmer this time of year?
>He said they were the remains of a massive ice floe which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming.
I thought it was due to climate change? or global...oh fudge, or whatever catchy gullible descritpion these idiots have created out of their ass.
Ban pit icebergs!
Hoover's fault!

Ummm.., I think he needs to view this video documentary on Anthropogenic Global Warming. Take a look if you haven't yet. It's a must-see...
It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite another to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply one video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the one...
The following is an excellent video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

[This is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size. This link is the information about it, and you have to click the download link to get it on your BitTorrent client software. You'll also find users' comments here, too.]
It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.

[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course..., and also, you can download flash video on a website either yourself or some software doing it.]
Buy it on DVD here...
[this would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...] At Amazon, it seems to be high-priced now and have only a few copies right now.

At WAGtv (a UK shop), but don't know about shipping. The price is reasonable, though.

Neal Young should remember...we don’t need him around...anyhow!
Good question.
I’m going to guess that this happens every 80 years, as a big hunk of glacial overhang becomes increasingly unstable and the currents point towards New Zealand.
>> whatever catchy gullible descritpion these idiots have created out of their ass.
You have to admire the sheer audacity of the fraud, though.
And they were SO CLOSE to pulling it off.
God works in mysterious ways.
There, fixed it.
Global lukewarmimng...
WHAT CAUSED IT IN 1931?
Hoover’s fault!
This shit drives me crazy...”this is global warming! We haven’t seen this since the Ice Age and all the glaciers retreated!
And that was caused by?
These people are idiots, but why don’t we have enough scientists to stand up and ask the obvious and embarrass these ahioles off the stage...
Keep the cruise ships away from New Zealand.
