A huge chunk of ice detached from a glacier in Chile—and the pictures are astounding.
The
iceberg detached from Grey Glacier in the Torres del National Park in
Chile, known for its backpacking opportunities and astounding views of
tower-like peaks in southern Patagonia. Images from Chile’s forestry
service reveal the blue and white colored ice, floating from its parent
ice into the Grey Lake this month. The iceberg is around 1,150 by 1,250
feet—much larger dimensions than usual, according to Ricardo Jaña, a
Chilean glaciologist from the Institute Antártico Chileno.
