Amazing Striped Icebergs

This was forwarded by E-mail. I am duplicating the format from the original sender. The dark blue font represents what was sent originally by someone named Eunice.

The photographs are quite magnificent.

Amazing striped icebergs...
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.

Antarctica Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing!

The water froze
the instant the wave broke through the ice.
That's what it is like in Antarctica
where it is the coldest weather
in decades.
Water freezes the instant
it comes in contact with the air.
The temperature of the water is
already some degrees below freezing.

Just look at how the wave froze
in mid-air!!!

Now, that is cold!!!

Having the Internet means
that we get to see something
that we never imagined!
Pass it on for others to enjoy!

These are truly amazing photographs.

They cry out with the glory of God’s power, calling all souls to acknowledge Him and to recognize the absolute dependence that we all have upon Him. They speak to our fallen condition, calling us to count our days rightly, humbly confessing our need for the regeneration unto life that is in Christ Jesus, and administered through His means of grace, to live trusting in His grace.




At Striped Iceberg Photographs the Hoax-Slayer reports that the E-mail’s information is flawed regarding the formation of the waves. The report says that the photos are all real and that the information regarding formation of the striped ice is accurate, but that the “waves” have another explanation. This explanation appears to be somewhat lacking as well, but does help to explain the blue ice in the “wave.”

Nevertheless, the photos are spectacular records of the magnitude of God’s creation and His mighty and gracious hand at work. Of course, those who are often called “scientists” explain these away as natural phenomena. Yet their science (knowledge) is based upon deductive speculation, and is as absolute as those who make the speculations based upon their extremely limited collective observations and subsequent conclusions (which change frequently).

The truth, the basis of genuine knowledge (science), does not change. It stays the same yesterday, today, and forever. There is only one Truth, and He has declared what was and is and shall be. Those who look to and believe the Truth, don’t change their stories. They also find that the declarations recorded by Moses thousands of years ago, still bear up today, and bear witness to the Truth that never changes.

Anyway, I continue to stand awestruck at the amazing things that I see God working in the cosmos. Anyone that prefers to stand in awe of what the science of modern man presumes will have many opportunities to stand in awe of new explanations in the days to come. Have fun while it lasts!
