Ever See An Iceberg From Top To Bottom

Beautiful water magnification !​

Ever see an iceberg from top- to-bottom?
This is awesome!
This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling
In St. Johns, Newfoundland .....
They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the oil rig
by towing them with ships!
Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm and the
sun was almost directly overheadso that the diver was able to get into
the water and click this picture.
They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.

Amazing and that shows why the Titanic sunk.

You could hit that while you thought you were missing it.

What percentage is actually below the water anyway?

I saw a TV programs that estimated the age of that iceberg at 3,000 years. The calving process is fascinating.


Just think what that one that just broke off Antarctica must look like.
