And here comes the really important analysis: The risk of encountering an iceberg in a stretch of 2 cables over 300nm (I don't expect the iceberg field to be larger than that), depending on latitude and the average amount of icebergs per square. The risk increases further north with the same amount of icebergs per square, because the squares become smaller.

This is the current iceberg report. If you cross the iceberg field at the right point you face a risk of 5%-10% of coming really close to an iceberg. But this means within one cable (185m), without radar, and without lookout. I don't plan to sleep all along, so I should be able to decrease that risk significantly. On the other hand frequent fog in that area might complicate this a little.

Soldini's passage through the iceberg belt made me curious about the risk of encountering an iceberg in a 1°x1° "square" (that's how they are reported in the Canadian ice forecast) depending on the course and the number of icebergs in that square.

Soldini on Maserati now entering the iceberg zone. This makes me wonder what it will be like passing through that iceberg belt next year. But I will "fly" only at a third of that speed.

Soldini attempts to break transatlantic record from New York to Lizard. That about the same track - in opposite direction - like the OSTAR next year. http://maserati.soldini.it/cartografia/?lang=enCartography | Soldinimaserati.soldini.it
