(Antfer) #1

Only some 300 feet
of this tabular iceberg’s
estimated 3,000-foot
height is visible at the
surface. A portion of its
submerged bulk glows
turquoise through the
clear waters of Ant-
arctic Sound, a narrow
passage at the north-
ern end of the peninsula.
Icebergs that break off
the Larsen C Ice Shelf
in the Weddell Sea get
swept along the sound,
which is also known as
Iceberg Alley.
