  Hey, wow!  I just saw an iceberg!  The non-german weather guy mentioned 
seeing one while outside, "a small one".  I got my binoculars: it's got 
one towering peak at least 50-70 feet above the water, with a steep cliff 
to windward and a long flank to leeward.  It looks almost like one of the 
foam-covered waves crossing in the foreground, but I can't describe how 
strange and ominous it looks to see something rigid and immobile in this 
churning sea.
