Description
The icebergs’ milky white and bright blue colours are actually a play of light caused by air trapped in within the ice.
The more air trapped in the ice, the whiter it looks, whereas the denser the ice, the darker bluer it appears. Add to this stripes of jet black and brown from layers of volcanic ash and sediment from the glacier and the effect is pretty striking overall.
