Arctic floating city could use freshwater from melting icebergs to generate power

Arctic floating city could use freshwater from melting icebergs to generate power | Mail Online: "Glaciers are melting at unprecedented speeds and the problem is only getting worse.

Arctic Harvester makes use of the abundance of fresh-water icebergs by capturing them with its circular shape. It then uses their nutrient-rich water to grow crops

But while policy makers are left scratching their heads, a group of French students believe they have come up with a Waterworld-type solution to make use of the nutrient-rich water.Their concept, dubbed Arctic Harvester, envisions the creation of large villages and towns that float around the Arctic while ‘eating’ icebergs."
