Blue Berg
This berg was as big as a house! We were bobbing around in a little lifeboat so we could be close to these and get some photos. Our main ship, the Skorpios III, although happy to plough through ice flows would not venture closer than 1 kilometre to the glacier face. The glacier in the background is the Pope Pio XI, the largest glacier (I think) in South America. Southern Patagonia, Chile.
Blue Berg belongs to the following groups:

That is some wild adventure you went on! It is so beautiful and blue.
This is definately a favorite.
WOW.
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks Mar! I look adventurous, but I never even flew on a big aeroplane until this trip in 2003! I just made the most of my 3 trips to South America, and Italy is a local drive from the UK! ;o)
Nancy Polanski
Wow is right! There must be few if any people in the World (besides yourself) who have taken the same photo!!!
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks Nancy! You’re right – I’m pretty unique – the berg has probably melted somewhat now! ;o)

OMG! this is sooo beautiful! I love ice bergs; I want to someday go to Alaska and hopefully catch a …..what is it called….where the ice breaks off? Anyway, this has so many beautiful shades of blue and I love the shapes of the icebergs; and that B/G is gorgeous!
Krys Bailey replied
Thank you so much! I think the word you are looking for is calving – where the ice breaks off the glacier and falls into the sea. We saw some of this happening on our second trip to Chile, at the San Rafael Glacier.
