wow...Jessi ...i want to go this place and have full summer spent there..wen i saw the pics i read the full article abt these things ...
"Bottle-green icebergs have often been reported by visitors to Antarctica. The reason for their green colour is still a matter of contention: Early reports attributed the colour to high levels of metallic compounds. Another has attributed the colour to an optical illusion when blue ice is illuminated by a low lying red sun, however, green icebergs stand out among white and blue icebergs under a variety of light conditions. Yet another states that the green colour is due to enriched yellow substances derived from phytoplankton blooms. "
"It doesn't look real, but as far as we can tell, it is. The different layers are formed by algae (green) and sediments (yellow, brown), or by a rapid melting and freezing (dark blue)."
these wer the main 2 articles found... but i wud need a holiday definetely to visit these places..
Hi Lydia, Welcome! Come back anytime! I think these ice burgs are in Antarctica. The idea for Wordless Wednesday is not my idea…I think it originated here
Hmm, about me, let’s see…
I am passionate about animals
and their welfare. My ultimate goal is to open up a small dog rescue.
I love dogs, the beach,
sunny days,history,writing,
reading, philosophizing,and
listening to good music!

That last picture reminds me of when I clean my toilet with that toilet duck stuff.
The first one reminds me of a big piece of Xmas candy floating in the ocean.
