Amazing Striped iceberg

The world's a beautiful place! These are amazing


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 melt-water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles fo
rm.

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 u
p
when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.
