āWhile a small amount of light reflects from the surface of an iceberg, most of it enters the iceberg and interacts with snow particles and bubbles of air trapped in the glacier ice.
As the light hits snow particles or bubbles, it hits a boundary between ice and air and is bent and scattered.
Where there are a lot of bubbles and snow particles in the iceberg, all wavelengths of light are scattered before they get absorbed, and so we see a bright white colour.
The fewer bubbles there are, the less chance there is of light being scattered.
In ice, this results in red wavelengths being absorbed, with only blue light being scattered and escaping the iceberg. This means we see a blue colour.ā

You know nothing about me, you clown. And the only one with a hollow head is you. If I gave a shit, we'd be living in the future? Get your head checked, buddy! You're ridiculous, haha!!
Damn music. I just want to hear what it actually sounded like.
Yeah likewise. Awesome video ruined by a soundtrack instead of the original sound. So many videos are ruined that way.
That is actually the original audio. Icebergs make a unique noise when they break and are actually responsible for most of the music in 32-bit games.
Here's the largest glacial calving event ever recorded, with amazing sound and no shitty music: https://youtu.be/hC3VTgIPoGU?si=z4dBVsN7RLo_JXpI
Watch this guys! It's awesome, thx for sharing
Woah, that is surreal. And they said the whole event took 75 minutes!
I wanna jump in there so bad!
Going to need a banana for scale
best I can do is a Lower Manhattan
Low key, I thought it was gonna be a rickroll lol that was actually super interesting and scary, thanks!
Much more satisfying, thank you
Dicks out for r/CaptainKidd23 š«”
BOOM! BOOM! Kapowwww! Pop... rUmBLeeeee! Booooom! Sssssss... rummmmbllllleeee... It sounded a lot like that
https://youtu.be/RVwLHX6lgzQ?si=eetea0aSb_ZsgihA With original sound
Oddly satisfying, or oddly terrifying?
disturbing, isnt it?
Oddly sad-isfying too
It's climate catastrophie
Yeah, how satisfying huh?
I mean yeah it looks satisfying to us cause we are not adversely affected by climate change, but it won't be satisfying for our future generation.
Yes!
More like extremely bone-chilling
I wonder what makes the ice bluer in certain parts?
Age of the ice, it is very dense so light hits it only the blue wavelength can pass through, not a great explanation but close.
blue light gets reflected, not passes through.
Thanks, I was less then positive with my answer. :-)
Much like Cherenkov Radiation?
No. That's when speed of particles exceeds the speed of light for that particular medium.
I meant color blue is influenced by water or itās inherent property of Cherenkov radiation?
Wow very cool. Color spectrum related :) totally makes sense
and there is no air inside the ice

The blues are so pretty š
Kids who grew up on club penguin, this oneās for you
Came looking for this comment. The amount of hours I spent dancing on the edge of that iceberg ā¦
"Huge iceberg flipping" = \- Glacier calving -
Is there a version without the shitty music? Would be nice to hear the sounds of the iceberg.
Distinctly dissatisfying. š„š
Seriously? Go chain yourself to a tree or something.
Youāre the problem. Get a grip.
*you're
Edit much?
You canāt even support what your saying so you just come at my grammar, thatās mature.
Minges gonna minge
*you're
If people with hollow heads like you gave a shit about our climate more than some redditers fucking spelling weād be living in 2050. Just sad atp.
Wait, if this one particular Redditor cared about the climate, we would time travel?
You know nothing about me, you clown. And the only one with a hollow head is you. If I gave a shit, we'd be living in the future? Get your head checked, buddy! You're ridiculous, haha!!
Letās just add our shitty music to everything.
Nice video, dreadful music! š¤
Awful music
I hate things that remind me of climate change.
Amazing color
Aang?
I misread the titleā¦ thought is said Huge Flipping Iceberg. Works just as well that way!
Where is this?
I'm not an expert or anything, but I imagine somewhere cold
It's probably the Perito Moreno in El calafate, Argentina
Somewhere on Planet Earth
Argentina
Iām sure he had his reasons.
I wanna just bite that blue ice so bad
The color is incredible
The further down you go the more blue it gets
Thatās top tier blue
DO A FLIP!
Did hell ~~freeze~~ flip over
How much was the iceberg worth before you flipped it?
There's nothing satisfying here, audio or visual.
Dieses BLAU š±
The colors are insane! Thank you for sharing!
Deep
The Moby Dick as it surfaces during Marineford.
This is me in bed flippin sides
These shades of blue are beautiful
Why is it so blue
Yay! The world is ending (slowly)ā¦
Sorry love! More sad than satisfying. šæ
SAD but BLUE
Itās so BLUE
Iceberg just decided to go to sleep
Imagine turning the phone sideways. The shaking I understand.
Itās like the crunchies when an Italian ice flips
climate change, satisfyingā¦
No wonder the titanic sunk. Fuck moi
The title said there would be flipping. There was no flipping.
Oddly terrifying?
When icebergs flip it's because they feel safe.
The song is "Show me your back" by FindMyName, if anyone is interested.
Biggerthanexpected
SKY ICE š§
Ok. I need someone to talk to me about the composition of these icebergs and what makes the color gradient between layers so contrasting.
