Amazing Striped Icebergs

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.
