Iceberg tracking off the Labrador coast during selected periods in July 1970, and in July 1971 is reported. The iceberg marking and tracking was carried out by Argus and Tracker aircraft. The iceberg rate of movement observed in 1970 was approximately one knot, but in 1971 there was no discernible movement by any of the icebergs marked for tracking observations. The density of icebergs also appeared to be significantly higher in 1971 than in 1970. A description of the various types of iceberg marking dye used during 1970 and 1971 is given. Conclusions regarding the most suitable dyes for marking and for durability are drawn. (Author)
