How to Survive If You Are Stranded on an Iceberg
__________________________________________________________________________

1. Construct a shelter.


2. Melt snow and ice to make drinkable water.


3. Cross icebergs to get closer to land.
   Test the strength of the ice by pressing lightly with a foot, then adding your weight.


4. Catch fish and seabirds.
   Construct a fishing rod with anything available (ski pole, walking stick, spear). Seabirds can be killed with ice balls.


5. Look for seals.
   You may be able to steal fish from seals. Consider killing a seal (with a club or homemade spear to the skull) for food only if you life is at risk. To make fuel from seal blubber, pound the blubber until it liquefies. Roll a small piece of materiel into a wick, place it in the blubber and light. Burn moist seal skin to create smoke-signal fires.
