A cache to celebrate meltdiceburg finding 1000 of my cache hides.
This is a letterbox hybrid cache and IS NOT at the published coordinates.
The cache is a small clip and lock box.
To find the cache:
Iceberg B-15 was the largest recorded iceberg by area. It measured around 295 by 37 kilometres (159 by 20 nautical miles) with a surface area of 11,000 square kilometres (3,200 square nautical miles), about the size of the island of Jamaica. Calved from the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica in March 2000, Iceberg B-15 broke up into smaller icebergs, the largest of which was named Iceberg B-15-A. In the year 2003 B-15A drifted away from Ross Island into the Ross Sea and headed north eventually breaking up into several smaller icebergs in October 2005. In the year 2018 a large piece of the original iceberg was steadily moving northward located between the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island. As of the year 2018 four pieces remain that are large enough to be tracked by the National Ice Center (at least 70 km2 or 20 sq nmi). One piece, B-15Z measures 19 km × 9 km (10 nmi × 5 nmi). It was located in the southern Atlantic Ocean about 280 km (150 nmi) northwest of South Georgia Island. As it continues its move northward the speed of melt increases. Most icebergs do not last long this far north. On the date 29th January 2001 researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin installed weather and Global Positioning System instruments on Iceberg B-15A. It was the first time an iceberg had been monitored in this way. The data gathered led to an unprecedented understanding of how giant icebergs make their way through the waters of Antarctica and beyond.
