Abstract
A wall for protecting tabular icebergs against the mechanical effects of the waves and swell contains between the protective wall and the vertical side face of the tabular iceberg to be protected a layer of seawater subject to level variations of smaller amplitude than is the seawater outside said protective wall. The protective wall comprises vertical curtains parallel to the vertical side wall of the tabular iceberg to be protected. These curtains are attached to cables which maintain them in a partially submerged position, supported by gantries on the substantially horizontal upper surface of the tabular iceberg to be protected.
