Scope and content

These items represent a product through which a consumer would adopt an iceberg, thereby supporting research into effects of melting ice in the Arctic. The certificate of adoption would give details of the berg adopted, and the cardboard berg models would be sent to the adopter over time, shrinking in size to represent the melting of the ice. The product was produced as part of a final year student project addressing issues of climate change and the relationship between Scotland and the North.
