Iceberg top to bottom
« on: 11 September 2010, 16:22:22 »

[size=12]Ever seen an iceberg from top to bottom?

This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling
in St. Johns, Newfoundland .
They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig
by towing them with ships!

Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm and
the sun was almost directly overhead so that the
diver was able to get into the water and click this picture.
They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons. [/size]

You're going to need one big bottle of coke for that ice cube.

iggy, no offence mate, but that 'photo' is a stretching the imagination just a little bit? If the above surface height of that 'berg is only 20ft then the 'photo' shows at least another 80ft (24.3metres) beneath the surface? The diver was either using a new generation of camera hitherto unknown, or else it's a reasonable 'Photoshop' job, since the Atlantic is not renowned for it's water clarity. ;)

I like the way they managed to capture the uplighting on the underside of the iceberg  :) Maybe there is an area of the North Atlantic sea bed where the silver sand causes this effect.

Reconise any icebergs here.
