OK, not a real one but its a scale model of an actual iceberg and it felt cold enough this morning when I went down there to take a look. I like it, I will have to go back at night to see what its like with the lights shining on it. Its there until February 10th 2006.
Here are the full details...

Beyond the Irish Sea is a large-scale sculpture by artist Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, ‘drawn’ using data scanned from an actual iceberg. This stunning sculpture, which also acts as a weather station, was unveiled on Thursday 10 November at 12 noon on the South Lawn of Liverpool Pier Head.
Beyond the Irish Sea is based on the 460 ft deep iceberg,“r11i01�, which broke away from the Greenland ice-sheet and drifted into the Labrador Sea in 2001. Working with the Canadian Hydraulics Centre, the artist acquired topographical data of the iceberg, using a combination of radar and sonar technology above and below water. The resulting sculpture is modeled on this data, scaled down to create a work just under 18 feet high.
The sculpture has been commissioned by Liverpool Biennial and is supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and Henry Moore Foundation. It is temporarily sited until 10 February 2006 on the Pier Head to form a part of the Sea Liverpool 2005 celebrations.
Constructed from 561 aircraft aluminium tubes and connected by 148 digitally printed rapid-prototype joints, the iceberg is mounted on two shipping containers, while the addition of an anemometer, used to measure wind speed and direction, reveals the artist’s ongoing fascination with the weather.
Situated between the River Mersey and the Port of Liverpool Building, historic home of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, the sculpture’s location signals a midway position between the forces of nature and human efforts to control and predict these.
For the artist, ‘climate’ extends beyond ‘natural’ phenomena to encompass a whole set of seemingly intangible forces – social, political and economic – which affect and condition contemporary life. The sculpture explores these forces through using weather as a metaphor.
The title refers to Liverpool’s historic legacy as one of the primary ports for emigration to America during the late 19th century. Today Liverpool continues to hold a prominent position amidst other world ports as a key centre for the shipping of containerized goods. Beyond the Irish Sea reflects on these shifts within a contemporary climate of growing concern about globalization and the environment.
