The photo shown was taken by a diver of a rig off the coast of Newfounland. Icebergs can be a danger to rigs and they must be tracked to avoid disasters. This one had the sun high in the sky and the ice refracts the light through it to reach great depths. A light bulb in the ocean perhaps.....! Our thanks to the diver for this one!
