With all this talk about ice features, I have to include an iceberg. I just think they are so powerfully dignified, like the alpha males of the sea ice. Every once in awhile we get to fly close to them, and they never cease to impress me. It’s really hard to get a sense of scale. From above, I often estimate an iceberg to be tens of feet high, only to fly down close and realize it’s hundreds of feet high. Really astounding. I think they should be called icebeasts instead of icebergs.
