    amazing striped icebergs

    These were sent to me by a friend this morning. Crazy!

    Amazing striped icebergs

    Icebergs in Lake Michigan 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 melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

    When an iceberg falls into the lake, a layer of water 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 lake.

    The water froze the instant the wave broke through the 
    ice.  That's what it is like in    Lake Michigan    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!!!
