Well well. A Texan has to teach the iceman about what a growler Iceberg
is.

I said

A bergy bit is about the size of a house. Both the bergy bit and the
growler are usually calved from icebergs.

Than Iceman said

That is incorrect..

So lets look at what the USCG Ice Patrol says about Growlers

USGC.... Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa

BTW - Growlers are bergy remaments..

Q. What is the extreme range of iceberg locations?

[snip useles and irrelevent data to the subject discussed]

So Mooron are you telling me growlers are over 1100-over 3000 feet deep
dragging across the bottom of the Atlantic?

You ignoramus.... they were originally called growlers because of their
small size and subsequent shoreside accumulations that did indeed cause
noise on the rock beds prevelent in the arctic seabed. They are smaller than
bergy bits.... and yes icebergs routinely scour the ocean bed...

Do icebergs hit the bottom?

Yes. Icebergs often "ground" or contact the seabed and get stuck. This is a
frequent occurrence along the coast where icebergs are brought into shore by
irregular tidal currents or strong winds. Sometimes icebergs "scour" the
seabed creating irregular troughs that may be several kilometers in length.
The edges of the Grand Banks are criss-crossed with old and new iceberg
scour marks.

I dont think so.

Try thinking again....

Rotton ice is ice that is honeycombed and very easy to fall apart with
little temp change.

It is most certainly not honeycombed.... I've used rotten ice as you call
it in the US... which we refer to as candle ice.... for drinks.

Tell me when you next get a frost and try to pass it off as snow!

Difference is Joe... I've been to Texas... you've never been to the Arctic!!
