is that an iceberg i see?


I know, I know - the fact that there is an iceberg in Wellington's harbour has been all over the twittersphere & blogosphere for the last few days, but just in case my 1 or 2 readers haven't seen it, I felt I should post about it. It is quite close to the shore as you can see, and in the usual calmness of the harbour, looks quite surreal.

Oh, that's right - it is surreal - made by Weta Workshop on behalf of an anonymous group the polystyrene artwork is a stand made against global warming -

"We're just people who care, people who have children. This is an appeal to every New Zealander who sees this artwork to stand up and take action. It's time to really do something about climate change, before it's too late."

  1. This is so cool! Are you going to make a Giant Trelise Dress to go with it?! It will look like a Skimo in an igloo!

  2. I saw this early Sunday morning while out walking, there was so much fog around, and it was peeking out, I had no idea what it was. Amazing.

  3. Having lived in Wellington, I'm just surprised it isn't the real deal!

  4. Now Millie, I couldn't possibly know what you would mean by that comment!! Our weather has been so balmy that the iceberg has now quite 'melted' away.
