Unexpected bonus this January 2024, we went to visit the world’s biggest iceberg, an incredible 3,900 square kilometres of ice ploughing through the southern ocean at 30Nm per day. These are a force of nature, incomprehensible the human scale! I was working as a polar guide for EYOS expeditions guiding clients to remote spots, something I’ve done as a related work story to my professional photography and polar experience for a long time, that gave me the chance to see this behemoth up close.
It’s a mind bending experience to see something like this. The view goes on as far as you can see in three directions, and the unseen depth below the waves in incomprehensible.

The only way to conjure up an image to this was to think of standing two of our ships end on end and plunging them down below the surface vertical, that would be getting close to the hidden vertical dimension below us!

Our visit created a worldwide interest and many of our photographs travelled the world via news agencies like Reuters, BBC, CNN, and a nice piece in New Zealand Geographic etc
This article in NZ Geo has some great information about it’s life, journey and death:
