A massive iceberg the size of Manitou Island and seven stories tall collided with the tippa the Keweenaw Glacier, breaking off a number of large icebergs that have now become an organized pack roaming Lake Superior, clogging river mouths, and threatening coastal villages, towns and shipping routes from the Soo to Duluth. The monstrous head iceberg seems to have a mind of its own and an innate sense of direction, and leads the renegade free-floating archipelago of icebergs as if guided by some sorta sophisticated navigational aids. Iceologists theorize that the head berg is being steered and maneuvered by a GPS hook-up with Polaris, the North Star, that controls, directs and tracks their movement by secret satellite or some such. The ever-growing number of rogue icebergs, some towering hundreds of feet above the lake, already 602 feet above sea level, and plunging to untold fathoms beneath the surface, seem intent on wreaking havoc wherever they go.
