The large tabular icebergs resemble giant, icy plateaus adrift in the frigid waters, with their immense, flat tops and steep sides.

In contrast, the smaller icebergs are known for their unique shapes and stunning blue glacier colors. These smaller icebergs, often called “bergy bits” and “growlers,” are sculpted by the elements into intricate forms, with jagged edges, arches, and even whimsical shapes that can resemble animals or fantastical structures. The deep, crystalline blue hues of these smaller icebergs are a result of the dense, compact ice that absorbs and scatters light in such a way that it appears almost luminous.

Together, these large tabular icebergs and the smaller, uniquely shaped ones create a mesmerizing and ever-changing seascape that showcases the beauty and power of nature in Antarctica.

Every moment of this journey is a reminder of the incredible beauty and fragility of our planet.
