Icebergs
One
cannot dispute where most icebergs are calved but one wonders if all
scientific evidence is provided. Strange objects have been found in
some icebergs such as pollen and dust, rocks and animals. Where do they
come from? The Arctic is a semi-arid area which receives very little
moistureso how are icebergs formed? One theory suggested by William
Reed, author of The Phantom of the Poles, is that the earth is hollow
and that icebergs are formed from fresh water rivers flowing to the
earth's surface and freezing at the mouth. "As the warm weather
of summer advances, and, owing to the warmth from the earth, the bergs
are thawed loose, the water from the rains in the interior rushes down,
they are shoved into the ocean . . ." [Walter S. Rockey Company,
New York, p.214]
