Beware, Black Ice Ahead!


 

Honestly, I can't determine exactly where this strange spot might be located. The best I can say is that it is somewhere very cold. Besides, icebergs don't really have permanent homes, do they? Anyway :).... did you know icebergs can be black?  Yep, black icebergs were most likely white before they flipped over, showing their underbelly or basal layer. It is highly dense and bubble free layer with the presence of rock material derived from the base of the parent glacier.  Love them :)!
