Icebergs with colored strips

Found this forward in my inbox, more of nature’s majesty and beauty.
Icebergs with colored strips are amazing creations.

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.

Yikes Stripes, Fruit Stripe Gum!
