International Ice Patrol Searches Atlantic For Icebergs

IN FLIGHT - APRIL 21: A flame burns off excess gas fumes on the top of the five-billion dollar drilling platform Hybernia off the coast of Newfoundland April 21, 2003 in the north Atlantic Ocean. Hybernia and other oil exploration platforms are in the path of icebergs that travel the southward currents to warmer waters where they eventually melt. To prevent collisions with the platforms, tugboats are employed to harness the icebergs and tow them to currents that move them safely past the rigs. The tug tows the iceberg after the International Ice Patrol find and chart the location of the berg. The patrol, organized by the U.S. Coast Guard and supported by 18 nations, has searched the waters since the year following the Titanic disaster. (Photo by Harry Gerwin/Getty Images)
