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 Pix - 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.
(So
much for "Global Warming")
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 this wave froze in mid-air!!!
Having
the Internet means that we've gotten to see something wonderful,
which
we might never have seen otherwise! Pass it on for others to enjoy!
