Dark blue ice exposed due to glacier flipping
@stux That's really cool, but also depressing because of the reason it's happening in the first place.
@stux well that was pretty scary
@stux so the different types of ice in #minecraft are basically accurate?
@stux Seems like the kind of thing we should only be able to see in a documentary, where divers went under the iceberg at some risk to show us a thing we should never see *naturally*.
@stux wow, in the worst possible way
@stux For anyone else who just searched “why is glacier ice blue?” (the alt text gives a hint)

Why is glacier ice blue? - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

When sunlight shines on a field of snow, it reflects a bright—even blinding—white. But if you get a good look at the leading edge of a glacier, you’ll find that the ice inside is a brilliant blue.

Thanks for this post. I was about to ask ChatGPT when I saw your post.

@stux it's even more impressive to see this sort of thing in person. 🤯
