VIDEO : http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d5a_1186867528

Code:
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - An iceberg has been spotted from the New Zealand shore for the first time in living memory, drawing tourists via helicopter and scientists who are trying to determine where it and several other giant chunks drifting in the country's waters originated from.

Last year, icebergs were seen in New Zealand water for the first time in 56 years, but couldn't be seen from the shore. This year one was visible from Dunedin on South Island on Thursday.

It has since moved away, driven by winds and ocean currents.

The msnbc article is dated nov. 21, 2006, no date for the video but it also speaks of Dunedin.

I love that they got some old guy to chime in... about how the government is conspiring about how many icebergs there are.

This is really cool.

how can they now such things with a minimal precision, 80 years ago nobody registered meteorological data, expect in some hotter or colder days.

oh, that indeed explains how they could possible knew the weather 80 years ago.
but I honestly believe they misinterpreted that part when she says, "there's a warm and wet weather down there" and "I'm burning and melting away", that final entry when she says "it's the hottest year of my life" it's a little dubious, any good scientist would cross check it with at least a hundred different diaries of the same year.
