Description
Glaciers close up are amazing, the colours and formations make you feel you are on another planet. The blue colour in the ice is often more intense on cloudy days rather than sunny ones, and is due to the structure of the ice filtering out light from most the parts of the spectrum while allowing the blue light to pass. Old, very compact ice can almost look like deep blue glass, ice with air bubbles in is a paler blue. This image was taken on the Grey Glacier in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia. Perfect if you are looking for pale blue artwork or cool colors for your walls!

Kudos, James......this is utterly fantastic,fine work......f.v.........VIVA..........This blue ice always fascinated me......and here's why it's blue, courtesy WIKI.......... Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier. Air bubbles are squeezed out and ice crystals enlarge, making the ice appear blue.
