Icebergs With Amazing Coloured Strips


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 meltwater 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.

Isn't amazing how everything is created in harmony by God, and how every simple thing has an explanation!?
Isn't the human mind amazing because he wants to know everything and that he is able to!!!
