On October 16, 2018, during a flight for Operation IceBridge over the northern Antarctic Peninsula, the crew aboard had their attention drawn to a remarkable sight. They spotted an iceberg with a distinctly rectangular shape next to a well-known sharply-cornered iceberg, while the massive tabular iceberg A68 loomed in the background. This striking image, taken by NASA photographer Jeremy Harbeck, highlights the diverse array of ice formations found in this remote part of the world. It’s truly captivating to observe the various shapes and sizes that icebergs can adopt in such an untouched environment. This photograph not only showcases the intricate beauty of nature but also serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics at play in the pristine landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula.
