Icebergs with colored stripes

 

 

Beautiful pictures of icebergs with black, green and blue stripes formed by frozen melt water, sediment and algae that was subjected to huge pressures.

 

Daily Mail: Icebergs are large chunks of freshwater ice that have broken off a glacier or an ice shelf, and float freely in open water.

They may subsequently become frozen into pack ice. About one ninth of an iceberg is above the surface, making them dangerous for ships. One of the biggest ones measured 12,000 square miles - bigger than Belgium.
