Bergs sighted, whether visually or by radar, are reported to the International Ice Patrol Office at Argentia, Newfoundland where their positions are plotted and, twice daily, broadcast to shipping interests.

It was the mission of the 1948 patrol to locate and report ice conditions constituting a menace to navigation to determine set and drift of icebergs, to collect weather information and surface and sub-surface oceanographic data, and to keep all interested parties and commercial shipping informed thereof. The importance to mariners of "ice broadcasts" is evidenced by the fact that practically all commercial radio transmission ceases during these broadcasts. The internationa
