These Amazing Striped Icebergs in Antarctica Look Like Candy..

Striped icebergs are not exactly rare, but quite uncommon still. It was Norwegian sailor Oyvind Tangen, on board a research ship that first photographed and described these glaciers (from what I was able to find, I'm not quite sure however). Anyway, they're an astonishing sight by any standards, and it's easy to understand why sailors have pictured them as humbugs. If you're ever lucky enough to go to Antarctica, keep an eye out - you just might see one of these awesome wonders!
