NOVEMBER 



The I'reqiKMicy of icelxTg reports in the Newfouiidhiiul area con- 

 tinued at approximately the same level as for October. A few bergs 

 continued to be reported in the eastern approaches to the Straight of 

 Belle' Isle and between 48° N. and 50° \., west of 51° W. On the 

 26tli, one ship reported a radar target estimated to be one mile long 

 in position 49°55' X., 49°45' W. There was some apprehension that 

 this radar target might l)e an ice island, as ice islands were reported 

 near Resolution Island in early October. However, a flight on 2 

 December failed to locate any ice in the position reported and possible 

 drift areas. No bergs drifted south of 48° N. The southernmost ice 

 reported during the month was a berg at 49°00' X., 51°59'W. on the 

 24th. X^o ice was reported east of 49°4r)' W. 



DECEMBER 



A most unusual report of an iceberg in position 38°52' X., 67°17' W. 

 on the 27th was investigated on the 29tli and 30th by aircraft with 

 negative results. Another report of this ice on tlie 29tli indicated 

 rapid disintegration. It is estimated that the ice disintegrated by 30 

 Decendjer. One ])erg is estimated to have drifted south of 48° X. 

 during December. This one berg was reported off Cape Race, New- 

 foundland on 8 Decend^er. It is believed that this berg is the one 

 reported on 27 Decendjer off (/ape ]\Iay, X'^ew Jersey. This is the 

 southernmost ice reported since 1934 and tlie westernmost since 1916. 

 It should be noted that the Xewfoundland area experienced a mild 

 autunm this vear.
