Note 6 — Chapter II
Reading edition
In the American Journal of Science for 1843, p. 155, mention is made of an iceberg aground on the Great Bank of Newfoundland. The average depth of the water was about 500 feet, and the visible portion of the berg from 50 to 70 feet high, so that its total height must have been little short of 600 feet, of which only a tenth part remained above water.
