Icebergs

I've never been to see an iceberg.

New research has shown that icebergs are hot-hot spots for marine life. Melting icebergs slowly release traces of dirt that were picked up when it was still a glacier. This release helps phytoplankton grow which in turn feed krill, fish and seabirds. Scientists are finding increased concentrations of marine life up to two miles away from the two icebergs they've studied.

That I'd like to see.
