Antarctic Summer - Icebergs

We did not have to go far .... and there was our first iceberg .... a blue that looked unreal - but not all look like that.

Tabular icebergs have steep sides and a flat top.
Non-tabular icebergs have different shapes, and include:
Dome: An iceberg with a rounded top.
Pinnacle: An iceberg with one or more spires.
Wedge: An iceberg with a steep edge on one side and a slope on the other
Dry-Dock: An iceberg that has eroded to form a slot or channel.
Blocky: An iceberg with steep, vertical sides and a flat top. It differs from tabular icebergs in that its shape is more like a block than a flat sheet. (Wikipedia)

Wishing you all a great Sunday ... and thank you for your visits and comments!!
