WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- A flotilla of hundreds of icebergs that split off Antarctic ice shelves is drifting toward New Zealand and could pose a risk to ships in the south Pacific Ocean, officials said yesterday.
The nearest one, about 30 yards tall, was 160 miles southeast of New Zealand's Stewart Island, Australian glaciologist Neal Young said. He could not say how many icebergs in total were roaming the Pacific, but he counted 130 in one satellite image alone and 100 in another.
