Iceberg research A drifting Arctic iceberg has now operated as a research station for five years. This Soviet station, called North Pole 22, is being used to conduct radio soundings of the ice, and the under-surface is being studied by skin-divers. Study has also been made of the nature and climate along the iceberg's 22 000 km path through the Canadian Arctic archipelago, and data have been gathered on the ionosphere and on terrestrial magnetism. The project is part of the International Polex experiment, and is about to become a part of PIGAP - the first international programme for the study of global atmospheric processes, The iceberg is about 3 km square. It started at a point north of Wrangel Island and is expected to arrive back there some time this year.
British Institute of Refrigeration The 73rd Volume of Proceedings of the British Institute of Refrigeration (1976-77) is now available. The papers include: Health and Safety at Work Act, 1 9 7 4 - responsibility of refrigeration industry, by L.C. Constant; The manufacture, handling and storage of ice, byJ. Graham; Superconducting machines, byA.D. Appleton; Performance of a high efficiency air blast freezer, by S. Forbes Pearson; Optimisation of insulation and refrigeration plant on ships, byJ.R. Stott;The selection and application of air coolers for refrigeration use, by B.W. Ingram; and, Energy and refrigeration systems: design, maintenance and operation, by E.J. Perry.

The Volume also contains minutes of meetings, the report of the Executive Council for the year ended 25th March, 1976, and a report on the 77th anniversary dinner. For further information, please contact: Institute of Refrigeration, 272 London Road, Wallington, Surrey, UK.
Electroheat 79 colloquium This colloquium, organized by the Hungarian Committee on Electroheat, will be held on 20-23 March 1979 in Budapest, Hungary. The theme will be'electroheat engineering techniques in the food industry', Topics include: drying and homogenization of agricultural and food industry products (thawing of frozen foods ...); and, electric food processing methods in commercial catering (microwave heating; rewarming of deep-frozen foods etc.) For information, apply to: Hungarian Electrotechnical Association, H-1056 Budapest, Kossuth Lajos ter 6-8, Hungary.
5Oth jubilee conference, Torry Research Station On July 23-27 1979, the Torry Research Station, Aberdeen, UK, will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary by organising an 'International /- conference on fish science and technology'. Papers and lectures will be delivered during this conference and one day will be devoted to technical visits. The research station will also be open to visitors. "
