Great photos and beautiful.

The top one looks like an unfinished Calvin and Hobbes snow man. Imagine the vertical lines as an open mouth about to eat the boat. It even looks like they completed the eye on the left.

I got this in an email yesterday.

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 melted water 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.

ALSO: Little known fact is that while the north pole is getting smaller, Antartica is getting BIGGER. chew on that

The Discovery Channel's, "Earth- The Biography", had a GREAT hour on ice and bergs. Some great pics, time-lapse photography.

I'm always amazed at the things I see that occur in nature that just don't seem natural. Beautiful photos.
