A Little Ice To Cool Down With

(Description In AltText)

This is a black and white seascape photo in landscape format of a large iceberg with two tower-like structures at each end and a sea filled gap in the centre surrounded by low cloud and sea fog. Marguerite Bay, Antarctica (2024). The ink black and gently rippled sea water rises from the base of the photo to a little less than the halfway up level where there is a crisp and straight horizon. The camera is about a metre above the water's surface and pointed directly at the iceberg that is about ten metres away. The iceberg, while single has the look of two icebergs close together. To the left of centre is the left half, having to look of a domestic clothes iron with a narrow, tall, tower like part at the blunt end of the iron with a small flat top. Most of the surface is very rough suggesting those parts have recently calved (large chunks have broken off to form new, smaller icebergs). Where the iceberg touches the water in the centre of the image (by the pointed end of the iron) there is a gap of a few metres with water freely flowing across it before the right side of the iceberg towers upwards. Remembering from school geography lessons that two-thirds or more of the iceberg will be submerged below the surface. The right part is larger than the left with no distinct shape other than a large triangle with the pointed top chopped off and with the similar rough surface to its friend on the left. Behind the iceberg is a mass of sea fog and low cloud, thicker on the left side of the photo and with the smallest break in the overcast above and to the right of centre. The location of this magnificent natural structure is Marguerite Bay, off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsular, some two hundred km south of the Antarctic Circle.
