ABSTRACT:
An artificial iceberg is constructed in an area near the ocean, which has a plentiful supply of fresh water and a climate in which the temperature remains below freezing for extended periods of time. An air pocket is created by fixing a sheet of plastic to a suitable base. Fresh water is then sprayed in layers atop the air pocket until the desired thickness is obtained. Said artificial iceberg will also have tow ropes and Horizontal Drift Eliminators (H.D.E.) implanted during manufacture to facilitate transportation on large bodies of water.
