What problems do you face towing an iceberg south pole of Israel?
Imagine you are the master of a large ship and have been hired towing an iceberg into Israel from the South Pole. What are some of the problems that you may face? Please help me with this question. Thanks a million! The question is for my science class.
Pirates off the Somali coast and the hot sun along the equatorial waters to cross the Suez Canal You could prevent the pirates and the channel to pass through the Straits of Gibraltar do not forget the Penguins
Cruise South to Antarctica
Two charts are on board of the vessel. Never surveyed waters surrounding the ship, according to both cards. A reasonable way, the captain chooses to maintain a course set deep in the polls. This channel is new to him, but sailed in Antarctica often many.

Next evening makes it harder to see, then start a heavy snowfall. The icebergs that charged on the canal are more difficult to track like giant snowflakes cling to windows. We luckily radar, which shows a safe route to follow. The large blocks of ice are in orange on the screen. A huge glob dominates the channel ahead of the monitor. The ice is just three kilometers away. The captain whispers his command in a kilometer. No one else speaks. The pilot deftly moves the wheel and the boat changes its course. Looking through the snow and fog, is the ghostly tabular iceberg. It is a sight that can only be experienced in the Southern Ocean. Sporting straight sides that rise quickly in the air, this berg has over a hundred feet high. The top is very flat and very wide. Not for the first time is the enormity of Antarctica I stopped short. We went to the Antarctic Circle polar cruise ship in our class. We will spend some of the most desolate areas inhospitable in the world as we travel. After being discovered in 1820, another 79 years passed before a man spent the winter there. Explorers rushed to get the South Pole, but soon perished. Science came later. Recently, tourists were not filthy rich could start visiting Antarctica. You can experience the Antarctic by about the same cost as a visit the Caribbean island.

Antarctica is a bit like a manta ray with the curved tail. South America separated from Antarctica in 500 miles of ocean. This is known as Drake Passage. It is home to the most difficult in the ocean planet. It has also been called the "slimy jaws of hell" and extract a high price for passage. A passenger care reminds us to keep our things carefully and make sure our cabin portholes are closed as well. After sailing from Ushuaia, Argentina, sail through the Beagle Channel and reached the open ocean. We spent two days at sea without land hard on the eyes. The wind came up to gale force over the time. As waves crashed on the bow, Ocean Spray soared beyond my fourth-covered window. Waves could be seen in the range of fifteen to forty feet; size varied according to level of the observer of dizziness. The Southern Ocean we received two days out of South America. The vision of a seaside resort full of my bull's eye the next morning. Due to land, the water seemed to have calmed. The top of the high mountains are wrapped in thin clouds. The ridges sticking through of glaciers mild acute angles. Raw, collapsed with cracks filled with ice and dirt fell into the sea in large blocks. The mountains, which seemed like it could Everest house seemed to go up from the sea. A traveler found the trip to Antarctica is similar to labor. Antarctica is the windiest in the world, the driest, coldest and highest continent. Holding 70 per cent of freshwater on earth, the polar plateau has the same amount of precipitation as Valley Death does. No pets stay all year over Antarctica and there is no indigenous human population. No one owns the land. The closer to the coast and navigation routes must depend on the weather. Although we have been advised by the guidelines to remain flexible, our original landing on the earth becomes reality. We were assigned groups and told to assemble on deck. I get on an inflatable boat with nine people in my group. We quickly set up across the room mile of water. And then, with a single step, I am among the few who can say that I supported on the Antarctic Continent.
