A massive tabular iceberg sculpted by waves and weather stands sentinel in the King Haakon Sea, documented during a 60-day remote Antarctic voyage. The berg's aqua blue ice glows against dark ocean water showing visible wave texture and movement, revealing compressed snow from thousands of years ago. This is nature's sculptural power, where ocean currents, wind, and waves carve ice into monumental forms. The image captures both beauty and impermanence as climate change accelerates polar ice loss.
