	JasonColeman.com: The Ice Dance - Collision of B15A
		I've blogged twice now about that wayward havoc-wreaking iceberg, B-15A, first when it was menacing penquins and researchers in the McMurdo Sound, and again when it was threatening to put on a show by colliding with an "ice tongue" extending from a larger glacier.
		The first image we have was taken on January 3rd, B15A is clearly visible and looks remarkably like a very large American-style Aircraft Carrier.
		Rather the presense of B15A is altering currents, which is, in turn, causing this activity.

		B15A is an Antarctic icefloe, currently the largest moving object on Earth.
		As of December2004, B15A is 76 miles (122 km) long,17 miles (27 km) wide, and covers 1200 square miles (3100 square kilometres) i.e.
		It was predicted that B15A would impact the Drygalski Ice Tongue and cause the Ice Tongue to break off, or at least cause substantialcrumbling of the edges of both features.

		The floe is likely to cause a catastrophic decline in the population of Adelie Penguins, as it is adding considerable distances which parent penguins must travel back from the sea to their chicks.

		It was predicted that B15A would impact the Drygalski Ice Tongue in mid-January 2005 and cause the Ice Tongue to break off, or at leastcause substantial crumbling of the edges of both features.
		However B15A apparently ran aground approximately 5 kilometers beforeimpact.
		After approximately two months, currents and tides refloated B15A and in mid-March it was reported to be moving slowlyinto deeper water, although an impact with the Ice Tongue remains a possibility.

		It was drifting north at about 1.2 miles a day when it wedged between the land and a tiny island, where it now stops the wind and currents breaking up the thick layer of ice covering coastal waters.
		And I doubt B15A is the largest floating ice in Antarctica.
		B15A is a freely floating thing, not just any old floating thing.

		B15A and B15J broke apart in October, polar scientists said.
		The two pieces, designated B15A and B15J by the U.S. National Ice Center in Maryland, are now slowly edging their way along the Ross Sea, he said.
		While B15A remains immense, the title of iceberg king has passed to C19A, which is about 5,659 square kilometers (2,264 square miles), according to the Sun.

		B15A, was challenged by the upstart C19, a berg banger encroaching from the western half of the Ross Ice Shelf ice front.
		What C19 did not know was that B15A had been turned state's evidence ever since it had been implicated in the Cape Crozier penguin rookery hit, back in February, 2001.
		B15A was thus wearing a wire (AWS/GPS reporting station) when the B15A/C19 turf war began, and this allowed the rumble to be monitored through the summer of 2002 by the U. Chicago/U. Wisconsin surveillance team.

	The Antarctic Sun - Pop goes B15 - 110203 Issue
		Researchers tagged and bagged two important icebergs Friday, weeks after the giant B15A iceberg split in two early in October and mere days before a key member of the team was due to leave.
		There is a chance B15A will move north quickly and follow the normal iceberg track to Cape Adare, both MacAyeal and Shaffier said.
		However, Shaffier has noticed B15A and B15J are moving in roughly the same pattern as the original B15 and she doesn't expect the cork to pop quickly.

		The idea is that it is easier to "catch" the nascent icebergs while they are still attached to the continent rather than try to get to them when they're floating in the open ocean.
		The original plan was scrapped because the largest iceberg we are studying, B15a, broke in two in October while we were there.
		It broke along the crack we had seen from the helicopters when we first went to B15a in early 2001 (picture of the crack).

		Baby penguin chicks were thought to be especially vulnerable because they rely on their parents who have had to travel more than 100 miles to find fish and krill.
		Known as Iceberg B15a, it was part of a much larger iceberg that split in two during a powerful storm in 2003.
		When B15a got stuck, it slowed the flow of water, changed wind currents and caused a huge build-up of ice in the sea.

	MacAyeal team connects event in Alaska’s Gulf to one in Antarctica
		In the study, funded by the National Science Foundation, MacAyeal and Okal, a member of the Northwestern University faculty, reported on a unique seismological signal generated by sea swell when it rocked the iceberg and which was detected by seismometers deployed on the iceberg.
		It is half of B15, which became the world’s largest iceberg when it broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica in March 2000.
		The experience of B15A appears to be fairly common.

	World Adventurer \| Outta the way - It’s B15a!
		Normally this icy debris is small, say the size of an apartment block or small suburb, but B15a sets a new benchmark; at 6,000 sq.
		As a further mind-boggling twist, B15a gets its ‘a’ tag by virtue of the fact it was once part of an even larger floating mass; you guessed it, B15.
		That’s normal, but since B15a parked itself across the driveway, the trapped ice is doubling that distance.

		The researchers were watching icebergs using satellite images, and saw that on a clear, calm day last October, a big iceberg known as B15A broke into half a dozen pieces.
		So when they saw B15A break up, they persuaded other researchers in Antarctica to fly over to the beg and get their instruments.
		The seismometer record showed that although it was mild and clear, the iceberg had been moving up and down and from side to side.

		Experts had predicted that B15A — a 100-mile long iceberg —; would likely slam into a huge glacier near the U.S. McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica some time last weekend.
		Peterson said if B15A doesn't break free by itself or with the help of an Antarctic storm, "it's even more likely to block up the sea ice," which is already 16 feet thick in parts.
		Scientists had hoped a collision between the iceberg and glacier would cause the iceberg to drift away from the coast and out to sea, clearing the blocked routes.

	An airborne radioglaciological survey of iceberg B15a on November 23, 2001
		Understanding the migration and disintegration of large tabular icebergs requires knowledge of their thickness and basal character as well as the distribution of vertical fractures originating at both the surface and the base.
		During the 2001/2002 austral summer, the University of Texas was field testing an experimental radar sounder (developed in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory) mounted on a twin-engine aircraft operating from the Ice Runway at McMurdo Station.
		With this system, which was designed specifically to optimize both resolution and sensitivity, we performed phase-coherent radar imaging along four profiles over iceberg B15a which, at that point in time, was lying nearly perpendicular to the front of the Ross Ice Shelf abutting Ross Island.

	Ultimate AV: Revel Performa surround speaker system
		A great deal of the Revel system's bass adroitness was due to the B15a subwoofer, whose three EQ bands can vastly mitigate a room's worst low-frequency resonances.
		I had the Genesis 6.1 system configured to sound somewhat more harmonically romantic and bacchanalian than the Revels, but I could have adjusted their output to more closely parallel the Revels, had I desired.
		With five subwoofers compared to the Revel's single B15a, the Genesis system had more bass power and impact—but again, this was a result of my own setup tastes rather than either system's intrinsic qualities.
