The Ice Mountain

In 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and more than 1500 people died as a result of this collision.

As a result, the International Ice Patrol (ICP) was formed to monitor the ice conditions near the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and warn mariners of the dangers that icebergs present to safe navigation.

A haunting soundscape follows the journey of a fictional iceberg as it travels south into the North Atlantic after calving from a glacier in Greenland.

Narrated by Adjoa Andoh.

Sound recordings by Chris Watson.

Producer: Sarah Blunt

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2012.

Haunted by the sinking of RMS Titanic, this is a story of a fictional iceberg's journey.
