bergs!






Last night we cruised around the ice bergs just off station. Spectacular! As always a great variety of shapes and sizes to fasinate and keep the cameras clicking. The highlight was this berg with a jade section. According to the glaciologist on board, the jade ice forms from seawater at high pressures under ice shelfs. Not something you come across everyday.
