TOWING ICEBERGS OFF NEWFOUNDLAND 

                          

 

PHOTOS AND COMMENT BY  PADDY WELLS,  Chief Engineer M.V. Atlantic Kestrel TOWING ICEBERGS OFF NEWFOUNDLAND

Description of each picture. TOP ) My vessel the Atlantic Kestrel shooting a rocket with an small line attached sto the Atlantic Merlin can pull the blue tow line to her deck. When the line is attached,  The Atlantic Merlin will maneuver around the berg, then both vessels will connect the tow line to their winches. then the vessels will start towing the berg. On the Atlantic Kestrel Deck you can see the Anchors that were remove from the Oil Rig West Aquarius in case the rig has to move. if we can not move the iceberg from rig's path.

Bottom Left:  Shows that the same iceberg has 2 towers you and see that they are connected under water. Thi berg weighs about 20 million tons and  only 1 /10 is above the sea.  Bottom  centre: While  the iceberg being towed it towed it struck the ocean floor causing the iceberg to roll over  over completely.

Bottom Right: one  oil oil rigs  operating on the Hibernia Oil Fileds that need protection from Icebergs.

of the wind studies of wind in the landscape by other scholars tend to focus on so-called wildness of landscapes. But throughout the Wind Reader PDF series  there are articles on, and frequent reference to, the host's small suburban garden. While the ROBERSTON GARDEN page is a slide show illustrating how the garden was built up literally from bedrock, its biodiversity was designed primarily to control wind and snow; thus the lengthening the plant growing season and outdoor comfort within our microclimate; while in winter, it restricts  snow drifting in very windy and exceptionally snowy circumstances. However, many of the lessons about climate-proofing gardens was learned from the Nature of the Newfoundland wilderness; i.e., the forests and the barrens in the valley  flora-of-peatlands   waterford Beautiful snow patterns tell us much about the great variety of turbulence within and around structures great and small, hard and soft  across flat and rough terrain

And while Scotland and the settled areas of Iceland are ideal forstudyingwind in cultivated landscapes, there is much to study in the natural landscapes in the hinterland of Newfoundland and Labrador. While your host has done some studies in Labrador, the only study pertaining to wind and landscape was along the south t of Labrador from Red Bay to Lance Aux Clair (where there is a unique wave clonal tuckamore (krummholz). Most of my studies of wind and landscape (and many other topics) were done throughout Newfoundland - hence thle opf this page. Here are a few of my studies on the natural environment of Newfoundland
