Quoting Frank Reed :

> Well, it's about 25 minutes until the centennial of Titanic striking

> On my flight back from the UK last month, I spent about half an hour
> looking for an iceberg. We flew just south of Greenland --beautiful
> view of the fjords-- and then from the islands that I saw and
> comparing my photos afterward against the map, I could see we
> crossed the Labrador coast very close to the town of Nain. I would
> estimate my iceberg was in the vicinity of 57.3 N and 57 W. From
> 37000 feet altitude it was about 20 minutes of arc across. It had
> two peaks, one of which cast a shadow which was also about 20
> minutes of arc long. There was pack ice all around except in a path
> as wide as the iceberg and about four times as long to the south of
> it. This, of course, was far north of the area where Titanic struck
> the iceberg, and from what I understand there are lots of bergs in
