Ice bergs are eroded by a
combination of temperatures above freezing and the effects of wave
action. Here in a fairly rough sea, waves are washing up the
side of this berg to a point about 2 metres above sea level and will
probably make two separate upright areas that are divided by the
developing trough. We did for a short time consider trying to speed
through the gap when it was awash in our small powerfully driven
zodiac boat, but decided against it - probably for the best!
