Johannesburg : An iceberg 25 metres in length and 20 metres in height has been spotted off the South African coast, the country’s National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said.
“This is very unusual and in fact we don’t know of anything in recent history that has being reported this close to South African waters,” NSRI spokesman Craig Lambinon was quoted by news agency Sapa as saying Monday.
A fishing vessel spotted the iceberg Monday evening floating 35 nautical miles southeast of St. Francis Bay, Eastern Cape.
Maritime radio services were broadcasting a warning to vessels in the area, Lambinon said.
