Ice Wall, a photo from Ross Sea, Lesser

Photographer's Note

Unfortunately there is no scale on this picture to figure the huge size of this iceberg. I can estimate his height to be more than 100 meters and it is only 10% of his size as 90% of his mass is below the sea level. Believe me we where less than ants in front of this giant.

Malheureusement il n'y a pas de repère pour estimer la taille de cet immense iceberg. D'après nos estimations il doit faire au moins 100 mètres de haut, nous étions vraiment minuscule face à ce géant.

It surely is too bad about there not being any scale reference but it is easy to get excited just thinkng about it with the picture to help it along.

Hi Antoine...
yes, my first thought was the scale also. But still, it seems so impressive! The frame is perfect! It´s a big ice wall!!!

This is amazing. Any idea how tall it is though? The detail in the iceberg is quite interesting. It's quite miraculous actually. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Antoine
Splendide, cette paroi d'iceberg avec ses motifs d'une régularité tout à fait étonnante... dont on a du mal à s'imaginer l'origine...
