    Iceberg Distances

    Distances measured between important iceberg points. These measurements are highly variable due to human error as well as satellite projection. Each distance is meant only to be an estimate. Since some of the icebergs have shifted positions since the pictures below were taken, for some (i.e. B-15J) the distance from the iceberg to the object of interest is measured from the part of the iceberg that is closest to the object.
