Take a look at what lies beneath the water in images of a flipped iceberg. Filmmaker Alex Cornell went to Antarctica to photograph the landscape, Rare look at what lies beneath icebergs
Ice which calves (breaks off) from an ice shelf or a coastal glacier may become an iceberg. [48] The aftermath of calving events produces a loose mixture of snow and ice known as Ice mélange. [49] Sea ice forms in several stages. At first, small, millimeter-scale crystals accumulate on the water surface in what is known as frazil ice.
The world's largest iceberg is on the move for the first time in more than three decades, scientists said on Friday. At almost 4,000 square km (1,500 square miles), the Antarctic iceberg called ...
