Icebergs in Lake Winnipeg

Icebergs in Lake Winnipeg (Province of Manitoba, Canada) sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the lake, a layer of water 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 lake.

Wow!!! That is so interesting. Unusual colors giving the ice an unusual life of it's own. Good shots, thanks.

Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing!
The water froze the instant the wave broke through the
ice. That's what it is like in Lake Winnipeg where it is the
coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant
it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the
water is already some degrees below freezing.
Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!
Got it from an email all the photos

That was a great trip you were on, and you captured some wild and untamed water shapes. Great shots.

Did not take the photos they are from an e mail sent to me.
Hi Rolf. While the pictures are amazing they are not on Lake Winnipeg and there are no ice sheets (glaciers) near Lake Winnipeg to break off into the lake. If you check the internet you will find the pictures were taken at the bottom of the earth in Antartica circa 2002
Cheers and thank goodness they are not in Winnipeg or Lake Huron where another email said they were
