Iceberg runs aground in Egypt

It’s a well-known fact that Libya is running short of water. Recently, they attempted to solve this problem by moving a large iceberg from Antarctica to use a source of drinking water. Unfortunately, shortly after the iceberg transited the Suez Canal, an errant gust of wind forced it to run aground in northern Egypt.

Currently, Egypt and Libya are negotiating over the cost of melting the iceberg in place and piping the water overland to eastern Libya. More details may be found in an upcoming Discovery Channel special.
