Antarctica Frozen Wave Pics...

> 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.

The last one was not a wave that froze in midair, but some kind of glacial abnormality. The other ones look pretty cool, I'm not sure if they are real or not, but cool pictures nonetheless.
