Icebergs can be dangerous prey, even for the most experienced wranglers, because they can cause mini-tsunamis, break apart and crash into your boat, or rollover and reveal sharp tentacles.
A tabular iceberg is the easiest to lasso because of its square shape.
Icebergs are wrangled to clear paths for ships, to secure the area around offshore oilrigs, and also for their freshwater content.

NWB and the Russians filed documents with the court showing their Russian registration of Happy Vodka and “Udachnaya” (purportedly Happy in Russian, but does not translate to “Happy” in English), none of which were dated prior to the creation of Happy Vodka by Eiras in the US.
The claim based the consumers’ draw to the vodka because of superior quality, not because of the attractive packaging, and went further to claim the round winking smiley-faced bottles could not be sold apart from the vodka formula created by Kinosiants.
This marks a complete vindication for Happy Vodka Corporation as the rightful and sole brand owner of Happy Vodka and related products, but it is surely a fl eye on the trade relations between Russia and the United States, and a further fl mark against litigation in the US as a whole.
