Tabular Iceberg
Tabular icebergs have steep sides and a flat top, much like a plateau, with a length-to-height ratio of more than 5:1. This type of iceberg, also known as an ice island or table iceberg, can be quite large. Glacier ice often takes on a blue tone due to light refraction and age. In technical terms it’s because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered.
