POLICE in Chile say they've stopped cold a scheme to steal ice from a disappearing glacier. The plan was to deliver five tons of ice carved out of icebergs from the Jorge Montt glacier to upscale bars and restaurants in the capital for use as ice cubes, authorities said yesterday.
The ice was loaded onto a boat and carried to the town of Caleta Tortel, and then put on a refrigerator truck, with plans to drive it over gravel and dirt roads, ferries and highways, a trip of more than 2,200 kilometers to Santiago. The ice never made it out of Chile's southern Patagonia, where the unidentified driver is under arrest for robbery, regional Forestry Director Juan Eduardo Barrientos said. The ice will be used to irrigate farms suffering from drought.
