The iceberg photographs were snapped in an area several hundred miles north of the Antarctic.<\/p>\n<p>As the message explains, blue stripes are formed as iceberg layers melt and refreeze quickly, while green stripes are created by the freezing of algae-rich sea water. Other coloured stripes, such as black, brown and yellow, were created by sediment collected by the ice as it moved down a hillside towards the sea. The icebergs may have taken hundreds or even thousands of years to form.<\/p>\n<h2>An example of the circulating \u00a0message:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"example\">\n<p><b>Subject: Striped Icebergs<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Amazing striped icebergs<\/p>\n<p>Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.<\/p>\n<p>When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.<\/p>\n<p>Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.<\/p>\n<p><a
