==Iceberg transport== [[File:Labrador Current.jpg|thumb|Photo of [[whirlpool|eddies]] in the Labrador Current]] The Labrador Current has a tendency to sometimes go farther south and/or east than normal. This can produce hazardous shipping conditions, because it can carry [[iceberg]]s into an area of the Atlantic where they are not usually found. The current has been known to transport icebergs as far south as [[Bermuda]] and as far east as the [[Azores]]. After the [[sinking of the Titanic|sinking of the ''Titanic'']] in 1912, the [[International Ice Patrol]] was set up to track icebergs, including those found in areas of the ocean where they are rarely located.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID%3D377 |title=Forefront of Evidence-Based Disaster Management |work=Suburban Emergency Management Project |access-date=2010-01-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091007235536/http://www.semp.us/ |archive-date=2009-10-07 }} The "Meandering Labrador Current" paragraph</ref>
