Nature “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in”

This iceberg with a bright crack reminded me of the beautiful Leonard Cohen song 'Anthem', with the line - “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in”

Interesting shot. Just the illuminated crack itsef would make a nice image. But loooking at the cracking, I don't think I would want to be standing on the edge.

That is quite a unique image.

Nice shot.

Chilling. The crack did indeed let the light in. I wouldn't want to be in a small boat if that thing decided to calve off a small office building.

Definitely not the safest place to be close by. Well captured

That looks massive. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, there is nothing in the photo to show the its relative size. Very nice capture.

Nice photo! Isn't it the wrong time of year to be in or around Anarctica?

Sunshine was at the right angle to show it off. Good capture.

photo was taken from high up on a Seabourn ship - the height of the berg was close to that of the ship
