Icebergs

I’m jumping forward in my South American images to mix things up a little. This one is from Glacier Grey in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, just west of the Cordillera del Paine where we had spent the past week and a bit trekking through and exploring.
It’s hard to comprehend how big this glacier is (the kayaker in the bottom right will help to give it some scale) not just in the sheer magnitude of the ice face but also in the land coverage – at last account this ice field reportedly covered some 270 square km of land.
What is even harder to comprehend is just how much bigger it was. It’s retreat in recent years is nothing short of terrifying and heart breaking – there’s every possibility that our children may never see these incredible scenes.
The world today is changing and quickly becoming a world we once knew.
I spent almost the whole November in Antarctica on a mission to shoot the polar landscapes and give presentations to a group of photo hobbyists. This is not a ship dedicated to do photography, so I squeezed my time everywhere, on the deck, on zodiacs, and on kayaks, with my Pentax 645Z, my Nikon D800 and even with my ZTE cellphone. This picture was shot from a kayak trip with my ZTE cellphone, it may be not high-res, but it renders every details of the iceberg very well, another example of low end equipment with excellent result.
In my garden, we could have done with a real iceberg in the week!!!
Have a wonderful weekend all my Flickr friends & thank you for all your kind comments & faves!
The Arctic is seen as a window into the Earth's future. Polar amplification is the phenomenon that any change in the net radiation balance (for example greenhouse intensification) tends to produce a larger change in temperature near the poles than the planetary average. Average Arctic temperatures have risen twice as fast as the global average. The photo was taken under the midnight sun in Disko Bay, Greenland, Disko Island is in the background.
Thank you all for your visits and comments!

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.

Sailing the coast , we saw so many different and unique icebergs...small ones and very, very large ones. In this one just below the top center peak a raven is sitting.

I could not stop photographing the icebergs on Lake Argentino. A dramatic sky and brilliant blue icebergs make a wonderful combination! The Leal Cruise on Lake Argentino in Los Glaciares National Park, Patagonia, Argentina.
This is one of the reasons why our weather is so rainy and cool-lots of pack ice and icebergs further off shore. This huge berg ventured too close and became grounded. Note the gulls on the beach for size comparison.

Despite the ever changing conditions we set out for a zodiac cruise along the giant icebergs in Scoresbysund fjord East Greenland My 500 link 500px.com/yiannispavlis my facebook www.facebook.com/YiannisPavlis4/ my instagram www.instagram.com/yiannispavlisphoto/

The iceberg looming above us is the size of an apartment block, yet despite its enormity the frozen seascape is eerily silent. we are sitting in a zodiac boat in one of Greenland’s enormous Arctic fjords. Don’t get too close to that big iceberg .The large ones have a tendency to tip over without any warning – and the bit above the water is only 10 per cent of its total size.My 500 link 500px.com/yiannispavlis my facebook www.facebook.com/YiannisPavlis4/ my instagram www.instagram.com/yiannispavlisphoto/Thanks for viewing!
