The icebergs are moving apart and out to sea. Are they heading for McMurdo Station?
Getting all the way to McMurdo isn’t realistic, but plugging up the outlet to the open ocean is. B-15 is ahead (west) of the smaller bergs (B-17, B-18 and others forming). McMurdo lies west of all the icebergs (except B-16). We don’t know precisely what will happen, but possibly B-16 and B-18 will be moot. B-15 has a good chance to get in the way of shipping at McMurdo and B-17 could be a spoiler. We’ll see. B-15 is still keeping B-17 in “check” for the moment (April 25, 2000).
