Striped Icebergs - The Frozen Wonders
The colorful striped icebergs are the most fascinating element of Antarctica. The different colors appear from different reasons, but generally speaking, they appear because some layers of ice form in special conditions.
Blue striped icebergs are the most common, and they appear when crevices are filled with water and they freeze so fast that no bubbles are formed. However, things are different with the other ones.
Green striped icebergs appears because the water that freezes is extremely rich in algae, hence the color. Brown, yellow, and even black striped icebergs are caused by sediments picked up along the way when the ice sheet was sliding downhill.
