Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by
layers of snow that react to different conditions.
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet
fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles
form.
When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can
freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a
green stripe.
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up
when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

Is this amazing??
Antarctica
Frozen Wave
Pixs - Nature is amazing!
The water
froze the instant the wave broke through the
ice.
That's what it is like in Antarctica
where it is the
coldest
weather in decades. Water freezes the instant
it comes
in contact with the air The temperature of the
water is
already some degrees below freezing.
Just look at how the wave
froze in mid-air!!!
Having
the Internet means that we get to see something
that we
never imagined! Pass it on for others to enjoy.
