Icebergs?

Anyway to get icebergs? My weather was set to winter, but I couldn't find any icebergs in the north.

I'm interested as well.
It seems to me that FSX has some autogen icebergs normally, but I admit I never saw them myself :/

Somewhere outside of SimV there is a NZL scenery with ice.
Try "Icebergs"





err...

NZL could be found in the south :P

There must be some icebergs in default FSX somewhere.
Look at the screenshots on this page: http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/in ... 4854&st=80
There are some screens toward the end where the players land next to an iceberg.

Looks like add-on scenery (at last the hut in the 2nd shot from the bottom isn't default I think) or maybe a very small island? I've been flying around McMurdo-station Antartica a few times not long ago, but didn't recognize any icebergs - or maybe they depend on high graphic settings like airport bulidings, pylons,...

The addon I found has a landable Iceberg in it, so that might be it. :-/

It's not a hut, it's a little radio house for some navigation stuff, VOR or I don't know what. You see a lot of them in Iceland, it's default.
