How does it get flipped over and how can it stay that way when by definition 90% of the iceberg is under water? It is physically impossible.

That’s pretty neat.
Now all I need is a tanker of Wild Turkey, and a really, really big tumbler...
BTW, the Drake Passage is supposed to be some of the most (naturally) violent and dangerous waters on the planet. From what I’ve read/seen, along with icebergs, the area gets the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane every 3-4 weeks. Rogue waves of fearsome intensity and size are also supposed to be an occasional threat.

Amazing Beautiful. What a beauty to see one of God’s many creations on this Earth. That berg looks like a shiny floating Sapphire.

I hate to break it to you, but this is what happens when airplanes flush their blue water into the sea in wintertime. Then again, maybe airlines get their blue water by melting these icebergs.

I read somewhere that it was thought the Titanic may have hit a “black berg,” one like this, that is difficult to see at night.

Really cool! I have seen icebergs being spawned as they break off the glaciers on the southern coast of Greenland (from 40,000 feet). But this, wow!

IIRC there is a bottled water co.(Japanese?) that gets its water from those blue icebergs.

I wonder what Hank Johnson would have to say about this?
He’s an expert on large masses flipping over.

Beautiful picture. There are some companies that mine clear glacier ice to sell to people who obviously have too much money. It is supposed to be that kind of ‘ice blue’ in color.
