Iceberg Currents Differ From Surface Ice Drift
The investigation of currents around Newfoundland shows icebergs can drift opposite surface ice and winds due to their submerged mass. Surface ice moves with winds while large bergs follow overall ocean motion, sometimes advancing against the wind within flat ice fields.
