In 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and more than 1500 people died as a result of this collision. As a result, the International Ice Patrol (ICP) was formed to monitor the ice conditions near the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and warn mariners of the dangers that icebergs present to safe navigation. A haunting soundscape follows the journey of a fictional iceberg as it travels south into the North Atlantic after calving from a glacier in Greenland. Narrated by Adjoa Andoh. Sound recordings by Chris Watson. Producer: Sarah Blunt First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in April 2012.
