It is calving season in the Arctic. A flotilla of icebergs, some as jagged as fairy tale castles and others as smooth as dinosaur eggs, calve from the ice sheet that smothers Greenland and sail down the fjords. The journey of these sculptures of ice from glaciers to ocean is eerily beautiful and utterly terrifying.

From this nov you can see that the immersed part is greater than the emerge portion. Very nice colors of the icebergs. Vote

Your very low POV is very effective in showing just how scary it must be for a sailboat to venture through these waters! I feel as if I am swimming in that icy cold water and can just touch these icebergs! So beautiful! What great depth you have achieved here!
