Scientists Discover Singing Iceberg

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the but-can-it-carry-a-tune dept.

Ant writes "ABC News Online reports that scientists, monitoring earth movements in Antarctica, say they have found a singing iceberg. They say the sound waves from the iceberg cannot be heard by humans, with a frequency of around 0.5 hertz. They resemble a swarm of bees or an orchestra warming up when played at higher speed."
