November 10,2006-An iceberg has been spotted from the New Zealand shore for the first time in 75 years, one of about 100 that have been drifting south of the country.

The giant ice chunk was visible  from Dunedin on South Island but has since moved away, driven by winds and ocean currents. The flotilla of icebergs — some as big as houses — were first spotted south of New Zealand early this month.

Icebergs float in the Southern Ocean, south of Invercargill on New Zealand's south island in these undated handout photographs made available by the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) on November 9, 2006. 

Scores of icebergs have floated to within about 300 km (186 miles) of New Zealand, with the largest measuring about 1.8 km (1.1 miles) in length and standing some 120 meters (360 feet) above water.
