Title: Amazing Striped Iceberg


1
 Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have
stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to
different conditions.   
2
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice
in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and
freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
3
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.
4
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by
sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds
downhill towards the sea.

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!!!
