Frozen Plateau – A Tabular Iceberg in the Southern Ocean by Cindy Goeddel
Tabular Iceberg – A Monument of Antarctic Majesty
This stunning fine art photograph showcases a tabular iceberg, its flat top and steep vertical sides resembling a natural frozen plateau rising from the Southern Ocean. The crisp, geometric lines of this massive formation contrasts against the dark waters below and the dramatic skies above, epitomizing the ruggedness of Antarctica. Tabular icebergs form when massive chunks of ice calve from ice shelves, creating colossal floating plateaus that can stretch for miles. Some tabular icebergs are so large they can take years to melt, drifting thousands of miles from their origin.
