  • Although I will probably never go to Antartica, here’s some great striped iceburgs you might find there. (if you do go, make sure to get life insurance beforehand. )

    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 melt 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.

All the technology in the world will not guarantee you anything in this harsh outback. So brace yourself as we take you through a rare, less traveled and visually grand tour through the top 10 glaciers of Antarctica�
