Red dots mark location of sediment cores in this "study". Note how far south icebergs how been documented by navigators since 1890. The gray area marks areas of intense sitings. The location where the Titanic met an iceberg is just south of where core GGC-36 was taken (the raft marks the site). We will focus on cores from waters where there are more abundant icebergs during cold periods. Next we'll have a closer look at icebergs to see what they could be carrying with them on their travels.
