Abstract
In a letter to NATURE published in the issue of December 1, 1910, I showed by means of microthermograms taken on a trip to Hudson's Straits that an iceberg melting in salt water produces a rise of temperature. The experiments were performed on the Canadian Government steamship Stanley, and indicated that when approaching ice a rise of temperature occurred followed by a rapid fall of temperature a quarter of a mile abeam of the berg.
