Blue Ice From Frozen Waves, Antarctica

In some areas, earthquakes have raised the blue ice above the ground and created formations much like large frozen waves.
The blue color is often wrongly attributed to Rayleigh scattering. Rather, ice is blue for the same reason water is blue: it is a result of an overtone of an oxygen-hydrogen (O-H) bond stretch in water which absorbs light at the red end of the visible spectrum.
