PASSAGE

For many years, ship captains navigating the waters of Antarctica have been intrigued by sightings of emerald icebergs. Scientists have now explained their mystery.

Their green appearance results from sea water that has frozen at the bottom over hundreds of years. The frozen sea water has dissolved organic matter which givens it a yellow tone and the fresh water 'ice shelf' above has a blue tinge.
