Photo by @FransLanting “Iceberg Cathedral” Every iceberg tells a story. Each one is a snapshot of water frozen in time. This gigantic one, afloat in Antarctica’s Weddell Sea, looked like a turquoise cathedral with soaring archways and fluted columns sculpted by the corroding force of waves. When a group of chinstrap penguins came into view, they added reality to a surreal scene—their moment aboard the blue berg as fleeting as the life of the ice itself.
