Antarctican ICEBERGS moving Towards NEW ZEALAND
By: RaulDeSouza 
A rare flotilla of icebergs is slowly drifting toward New Zealand from Antarctica. Shippers have been warned that more than 100 giant chunks of ice are in the area. Experts believe most of the icebergs will break up before they hit the coast. Enterprising Kiwis are arranging helicopter tours to take visitors to view the icebergs, the closest of which is 160 miles off the southeast coast.
"It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before,” one tour operator tells the Times of London. "They are all different. Some have ponds, some have waterfalls, and the color of the ice is a beautiful turquoise. It's something that is out of this world."

yes its seems pretty cool for now, but imagine if your land starts moving towards Antarctica. These are signs of drastic Global Warming and we should take our steps to stop it.
yes absolutely correct! if things go like this we will end soon
I wish I could see what these icebergs looked like!
Thanks for the update. It sounds scary. Hopefully the ice bergs do melt before they hit the coast. It's important that people living in New Zealand are aware of this potential threat so they can take the appropriate safety precautions just in case.
ya its like another global warming
