Iceberg – model of any knowledge, that a human
possesses. Any knowledge that we have is actually partial
knowledge. It is comparable to an upper part of an iceberg
that is above the water. The other part that is below the
water is comparable to assumptions and theories that we
develop to cover the feeling of uncertainty and unpredictability
that we have. An attempt to conceive an iceberg from its top to its bottom results in a new, variable in form iceberg and this process is endless.
Iceberg is the sign that I build
into an idealistic image of the reality to break an illusion of its
evidence. Iceberg is the logo of fake and subjective nature
of most of things that we used to treat as obvious and
unconditional.
Iceberg is a media image - we all know about icebergs, however not many of us have seen them in real life. We do not question media images, they already part of our reality.
I decided to name my twitter account @IcebergB15. At the moment of creation of my account iceberg B-15 was the world's largest recorded iceberg. It measured around 295 kilometres (183 mi) long and 37 kilometres (23 mi) wide, with a surface area of 11,000 square kilometres (4,200 sq mi)—larger than the whole island of Jamaica. Calved from the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica in March 2000, Iceberg B-15 broke up into smaller icebergs, the largest of which was named Iceberg B-15A. In 2003, B-15A drifted away from Ross Island into the Ross Sea and headed north, eventually breaking up into several smaller icebergs in October 2005. As of 2018, a large piece of the original iceberg was steadily moving northward, located between the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island.
The US National Ice Center is a multi-agency operational center operated by the United States Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States Coast Guard. It is the only organisation that monitors all Antarctic icebergs worldwide, though they must be larger than 1900m along at least one axis in order to be monitored. The USNIC provides global ice analyses and forecasts, and more than 95% of the data used in its sea ice analyses are derived from the remote sensors on polar-orbiting satellites. This information is invaluable for scientists who study icebergs, who are able to learn more about climate and ocean processes and ships traversing the Antarctic waters are informed of any icebergs which might pose a danger along their journey.
