While on a ferry from Valdez in the summer of 86, we saw a berg break up and roll over. It made a pretty large, nasty disturbance in the water. The rolling and sloshing lasted for quite awhile before the water settled down. I took a half dozen 35-mm manually-advanced shots while the action persisted. It also brought mud up to the surface --like part of the event involved the underwater portion of the berg touching the bottom. This was way before my kayaking days, but I am sure that it would have been scary to have been in the water with that action. bob phillips SI MI where the ice is mostely flat *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Apr 21 2000 - 07:31:01 PDT
