| Striped Icebergs |
| 05.28.08 | No Comments |
Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions. Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form. When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe. Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.


Thanks to Bryan’s dad for sending me this one, sorry I can’t find a photo credit.

The crab spider Thomisus onustus. Some individuals are a most unspiderly color: they are hot pink. This allows them to hide in hot pink flowers — and ambush unwary bees. Other individuals are yellow, and hide in yellow flowers. Even more surprising, their colors are not fixed: move a pink spider to a yellow flower, and she can change her color to match.
