Thanks for the science bit and the warning about penguin poo although the colour will depend on what the penguins have been eating and whether they have introduced air by farting!

gorgeous
And even more so with the scientific explanation -- thanks Henry! (If it was anyone else I'd say you'd just Googled that, but I reckon that's exactly the sort of trivia you have on hand for exactly moments like this.) I don't even like whiskey and I'm jealous of that drink at the end of it. xx

Wow - looks amazing. The picture post card photos look really professional, but also a bit unreal because you sort of expect to see snow on the green bits!! Do they get any snow?

Blue ice
Ice absorbs the red end of the light spectrum better than the blue end by a factor of about x6 so red light absorbed blue light reflected. Snow is flakes so light is all reflected not like compacted ice.

Your science seems to be the equal of Henry's. We've just seen geology to die for here and have seen an active volcano across the lake. xxx

Blue ice
All ice is blue, just like water. The reason most of it looks white is because of air bubbles. In glaciers the air bubbles can get squeezed out by the enormous pressure. If it is brown or red that means penguins have been pooing on it.
