Like every other offsim item, this iceberg takes advantage of property on the edge of sims that have no adjacent sim. Normally in this situation, SL paints ocean in these places where "There Is No There There". Some of us refer to this as The Void Sea. If you are fortunate enough to have shorefront property of this sort, it is possible to hang items (like this iceberg) out over the edge. This makes your property seem larger and improves the view. This is sometimes called a sim extender. These objects count towards the total number of prims on your property.

In addition, this iceberg allows you to sit on it, even though it is up to 20 meters offsim. A colony of sea lions are hauled out on the ice somewhere and you can hear them barking from shore. (This is just a sound effect, you will never see the seals). The sea lions make several different noises in random order at random times. The base of the iceberg is shrouded in mist, which can be turned on and off. The old adage is “80% of an iceberg is underwater”. To make this come true, this iceberg has a MEGA-PRIM hanging 40 meters under water. This makes the iceberg look interesting when viewed offshore from your underwater garden.

Configuring your Iceberg:
By default the iceberg will unpack with mist around the base and the sea lion colony barking nosily. To change these features, click on the visible part of the 'berg out of water. A dialog will appear in the upper right corner of your screen with the following options:

mist on/off Turns the mist off (to reduce lag) or back on again.

Seals off Turns the sea lion barking off completely.
Seals low The sea lions bark at low volume
Seals hi The sea lions bark at high volume

If you take too long to make a selection, the iceberg stops listening to the dialog after after a while to decrease lag. You will get a warning message and then the dialog will no longer work. Hit ignore to get rid of the dialog and request a new one if this happens to you.

Right click on the ice berg and select “sit here” to sit up to 20 meters offshore and meditate on top of the iceberg to the sound of the sea lion colony.

Lag Issues:
This iceberg is a non-physical object which is naturally low-lag. It uses a dialog based menu which is zero lag when not in use. The mist effect generates many “particles” which can cause lag. This feature can be turned off if you suspect it of being a problem. Some people claim that mega-prims contribute to lag, but I don't believe this. If you are concerned about this, contact me and I will arrange to give you a version without the mega-prim.
