Frozen tsunami wave in Antarctica?
CHILEAN EARTHQUAKE UPDATE: In response to the Chilean earthquake, one group that could use your donations is Doctors Without Borders. They have sent a team to Chile to assess the needs of the affected area. Even if they decide that there is little for them to do in Chile, they are also active in Haiti. Your funds will be well spent.

A series of images has been floating around in an email forward about a supposed tsunami wave that froze in midair as it came up and over other Antarctic ice.
One person suggests it is "blue ice." In any event, it is highly unlikely that it is a tsunami wave.

this is a very scary reality the tempuratures had to have been catastrofically cold but the fact is that these tempuratures may not be fiction. As also in the case of the mammoth frozen in midwalk, how can this happen?
this wave-like formation may infact be caused by earthquakes that have raised the ice above the ground and creating what is seen in this image.
the blue colour of the ice can be attributed to the same reason that water appears blue; it is a result of an overtone of an OH molecular stretch in the water, which absorbs light at the red end of the visible spectrum.
what are the chances in life you get to see that once it melts the polar bears will have water but that is so amazing though thats cool…………

Awsome mannnn!
ell of a wave!
orite maytee.
it’s a horrible disaster on Antarctica. i wish it should not happen ever after.
I think it is a tsunami. The fact remains that in antartica it is so incredibly cold that waves get frozen there all the time, and tsunamis move slower than normal waves because of their weight.
Did they sell cheese burgers in the Artic because i love a good cheese burger
