What a great view! Adam said. But we re not safe this far from the ant hill, Mandy said. You worry too much, said Adam. We ll be fine. Just then a hungry-looking sparrow landed on the branch. The two ants screamed and ran in a panic to the end of the branch. The sparrow hopped after them. The ants jumped on to a leaf. They were trapped! I told you it wasn t safe! Mandy cried. Suddenly, a breeze blew through the tree. The leaf broke away from the branch. It floated down to the ground, carrying the ants to safety. I told you we would be fine, Adam said, but his six legs were shaking a bit as the two raced back to the ant hill.

(Part 3 continued) Icebergs It is very cold in the far north. Ice covers much of the land and parts of the sea. Sometimes, a piece of ice breaks off and floats away. This is how an iceberg is made. Icebergs come in all shapes and sizes. Small icebergs are called growlers. They are about the size of a car or smaller. Other icebergs are huge. They are called ice islands. Icebergs break off from Greenland and float down to Iceberg Alley. Only a small part of an iceberg sticks up above the water. Most of it is under the water. This part is hard to see and a ship can hit it. Small icebergs can be more dangerous to ships than the big ones because they are harder to spot. One place to find icebergs is Iceberg Alley. Icebergs from Greenland float down along the eastern shore of Canada. It takes about two to three years for an iceberg to get to Iceberg Alley. Many icebergs melt before they get there.
