Icebergs

[invisyblegypsey]

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.
