icebergs not all that far south of NZ and a TC going to move down into waters north of us...WOW, what a mix!

niwa say hte icebergs are because of melting ice cap


but what about an impedding ice age?
its been a cold enough summer, LOL!

surely its been all the southerly quarter winds the last 3 months that has blown/driven the icebergs further north (well at least the oceans currents have been more SW to NE instead of the W to E of the west wind drift it normaly is///

RUBBISH.The recent icebergs were probably caused by the 8.1 earthquake that must of shook the southern icecap.
Look what damage the 8.9 magnitude earthquake did to the Bay of Bengal.
Surely the earthquake off the Auckland islands must of cause some 'breaking of the ice" :)
