The ice from glaciers tends to blue because in ice the absorption of light at the red end of the spectrum is six times greater than at the blue end, which means that almost all of the light apart from blue light gets absorbed before it reaches our eyes. Any bubbles in the ice cause it to appear less blue, as they scatter the light before it can be absorbed. \u00a0As icebergs tend to be made up of ice that contains some bubbles, they normally appear bluish-white in colour. However, explorers and sailors have long reported seeing green icebergs around certain parts of Antarctica, with scientists previously unsure as to what causes this colouration.<\/p>\n<p>This new research proposes that iron oxides in rock dust from Antarctica&#8217;s mainland are responsible for the green hue of these icebergs. As glaciers flow across rocks on the mainland, they grind them into a fine powder known as glacial flour. When these glaciers encounter the sea, this glacial flour flows into the water, but if the rock dust becomes trapped under the ice, then these particles can instead become lodged inside an iceberg when it breaks away. Measurements of ice from the Amery Ice Shelf (a large body of floating ice in East Antarctica) have revealed high concentrations of iron, suggesting that it is indeed iron\u2010oxide minerals that are causing some icebergs to turn green. As iron is a key nutrient for phytoplankton (the foundation of the oceanic food web), this would suggest that green icebergs might play an important role in helping to support marine life, by transporting iron from the Antarctic mainland to the open ocean.<\/p>\n<p>An audio version of this poem can be heard here:<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-775-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/scienceblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Fields-of-Green.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/scienceblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Fields-of-Green.mp3\">https:\/\/scienceblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Fields-of-Green.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A continent of purest blue begins to flow, an unstoppable force That spills towards the sea in cinematic slow motion.
