I was there in 2017. It's really awesome! https://flickr.com/photos/henriquev/34177641420/
Wow.
These pictures are my favorite of this phenomenon: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/2...
Those lucky scientists. The picture is honestly breathtaking.
Can’t even begin to imagine how they must have felt in actually being there…in the cold, sitting in the small watercraft inching closer by the minute as the operator navigates what looks to be an ice-minefield, and finally being face to face with the phenomenon…up close and personal.
What an amazing thing to experience. Something that a camera just can’t capture.

The caption says they are tourists in Alaska.
Probably a cruise going in Glacier Bay National Park.
Those were the most coveted ones for putting in drinks back in Antarctica :)
> Blue icebergs develop from older, deep glaciers which have undergone tremendous pressure experienced for hundreds of years
Interesting, does anyone has a ballpark of the pressure they’re face with? Are we able to create artificial blue ice? (I’d assume so). A cursory search yield nothing but minecraft-related articles.

The pressure simply removes all air bubbles. To make blue ice you simply need a very long ice cube with no bubbles such that the red and green light is absorbed but not blue. I guess you could freeze a 10m long tube and look at the ends
Being able to see glacial ice, both in the sea and when in and around ice sheets, has been one of my most cherished life experiences. If you get a chance to see the mind-bogglingly beautiful palette of blues available, you won't regret it.
Hopefully we can keep some of this ice for future generations.

I thought minecraft made this up.
Jesse, wake up! Wake up, we overcooked, Jesse!
