# Antarctic icebergs: A significant natural ocean sound source in the Southern Hemisphere

Haruyoshi Matsumoto, DelWayne R. Bohnenstiehl, Jean Tournadre et al., 2014. _Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems 15(8): 3448–3458_.

Archived acoustic records show that the breakup of icebergs C19a and B15a in the southernmost Pacific from late 2007 raised ocean noise at mid to equatorial latitudes for about 1.5 years, and that seasonal noise cycles in all three southern oceans follow the annual cycle of iceberg drift and disintegration.

## What it's used for here

Evidence that Antarctic ice is loud enough and common enough to dominate the equatorial record.
