[ExI] towing an iceberg

> On Behalf Of Stuart ...

>...So since the iceberg is so big, how about having some engineers set up
camp on it, drill holes all over it, put masts and rigging on the iceberg
and use a bunch of sails to move the iceberg like a giant ship? Once the
iceberg makes it to warmer latitudes, then one could install Stirling heat
exchange engines to power ship screws to propel the iceberg. Just some
thoughts, not a boat expert or anything.

The force that could be exerted by the wind is tiny compared to even slight
current.  That iceberg is going go wherever the water tells it to.  I don't
know if anchoring to the bottom of the sea and pulling it with thousands of
cables will exert anywhere near enough force.
