New Zealand Gets Some Icy Visitors….
Posted on January 6, 2007
With temperatures here in New York approaching almost 70 degrees today, I think we can safely say that Al Gore might have been right. People in New Zealand are also experiencing some strange occurrences–even during the summer.
Several mammoth-size icebergs have started drifting ever closer to the NZ mainland causing shipping hazards–and a boom in tourist interest. Opportunistic agencies have setup helicopter flights that are taking spectators out to the bergs–and even landing on them! Have a look at this video below. These were spotted from my hometown of Dunedin! Simply confirms my opinion of New Zealand being one of the most unique countries in the world. Where else does this happen?
