A large piece of compressed ice, or a glacier, similarly appears blue. The blue color is sometimes wrongly attributed to Rayleigh scattering, which is responsible for the color of the sky. Rather, water ice is blue for the same reason that large quantities of liquid water are blue: it is a result of an overtone of an oxygen–hydrogen (O−H ...
Aerial view of the glacier, taken two weeks before the 2004 rupture. The Perito Moreno (Spanish: Glaciar Perito Moreno), Francisco Gormaz or Bismarck Glacier [1] is a glacier located in Los Glaciares National Park in southwest Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, and originated in the Magallanes Region in Chile, being also part of the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park.
Snow ice is white due to the presence of air bubbles. Black ice grows downward from the bottom of the existing ice surface. The growth rate of the ice is proportional to the rate that heat is transferred from the water below the ice surface to the air above the ice surface. [4] The total ice thickness can be approximated from Stefan's equation.

The park was established on 13 May 1959 [7] as Parque Nacional de Turismo Lago Grey (Grey Lake National Tourism Park) and was given its present name in 1970. [ 6 ] In 1976, British mountaineer John Garner and two Torres del Paine rangers, Pepe Alarcon and Oscar Guineo pioneered the Circuit trail which circles the Paine massif.
Blue iceberg observed by tourists along the coast of Alaska, 2010. A blue iceberg is visible after the ice from above the water melts, causing the smooth portion of ice from below the water to overturn. [1] [2] The rare blue ice is formed from the compression of pure snow, which then develops into glacial ice. [3] [4]

The largest known seiche on Lake Erie was a 22-foot event that killed 77 people and dammed Niagara Falls with ice, temporarily stopping the waterfall from flowing. More recently, a 16-foot seiche ...
