Striped Iceburgs

I am creating a new section of the web site related to slide shows. I receive quite a few emails with lots of cool, funny and sometimes inspiring photos. The problem is that email is not the best way to look at a series of photos. Basically you spend more time scrolling than enjoying the photos. Therefore, I decided to put these photos into a slide show which makes them stand out a lot more. The first one is called striped iceburgs.

Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions. Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form. When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a Green stripe. Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.
