About this ebook

Iceberg Mysteries unveils the hidden world of icebergs, exploring their origins, journeys, and significant role in Earth's climate system. These colossal ice formations begin as part of glaciers, calving off into the ocean, and are later classified by size and shape.

Their movements are dictated by a complex interplay of ocean currents, wind patterns, and the Coriolis effect, posing navigational hazards that have led to historical shipping disasters.

The book highlights how icebergs serve as critical indicators of climate change. As Arctic and Antarctic ice shelves decline, iceberg calving rates increase, directly linking to global warming. Melting icebergs impact ocean salinity, sea levels, and marine ecosystems, as monitored by satellite imagery and oceanographic data.

By adopting a fact-based approach, the book progresses from fundamental science to practical implications for shipping and navigation, culminating in an analysis of icebergs' role in climate change.

Iceberg Mysteries integrates oceanography, climatology, and environmental science, offering a comprehensive view of these icy giants and their place in our planet's future.
