Iceberg Cowboys

Is on the Discovery channel now. Wow, the Atlantic has large icebergs! I haven't ever seen anything even close to the size of those things in Alaska.

 

 

Sail Columbia Glacier, ice the size of apartment buildings there. :)

We watched a mini version of this at Portage Glacier. A 20 foot berg blocked the Greyline tour boat causing it to cancel a sailing. They used a small boat for an hour to try to drag it out of the way by a rope lassooed around it. It just turned around in a circle. They finally used the force of the backing up of the boat to move it away.
