Overview

The International Ice Patrol (IIP) has been monitoring iceberg activity in the North Atlantic since 1913. This data set contains yearly summaries and reports of these iceberg sightings beginning in 2024 for the IIP's Area of Responsibility (AOR) in the North Atlantic (40° N to 60° N, 40° W to 60° W) during the iceberg season. The iceberg season runs from 1 October of one year to 30 September of the next year. Each year contains two files: a one page summary PDF and full iceberg season PDF report. The summary provides a concise graphical overview. Each year’s iceberg season severity is ranked as light, moderate, severe, or extreme, and given historical context in a graph of annual severity beginning in 1900. The summary also includes a monthly graph of the year’s number of icebergs estimated crossing south of 48° N, along with the climatological average.
