EVER SEE AN ICEBERG FROM TOP TO BOTTOM? This is awesome! This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St Johns, Newfoundland. They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships!
Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm & the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and click this pic. Clear water huh?! They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons. And now we also know why they say one picture is worth a 1000 words ... Now we also know why the Titanic sank!!!

it may be awsome....but it's also faked.....

shibby!

True dat.

why is it faked? im pretty sure ive seen that in science books

Yeah, an awesome picture but it isn't truly an iceberg from top to bottom.

wasn't there a thread on this a while back?

I think so but I can't remember what it was called

i gorgious yet frightning, kindalike realizing how small or how grand life is when you look at natures greatness.

all though it's been retouched(due to the fact that an iceberg is simply to big), still impressive.

neither do i

Is it fake or just a painting?

GO NEWFOUNDLAND!!!!!! It scares me to look at it.

Can someone save that image and attach it as an attachment?
I'm unable to see it because i'm at work and the site it's linked from is blocked.

ok here

Oooh, THAT picture. Yeah that's old news.

Thanks bro.

It isn't exactly a fake, but it is a drawing commisioned by the people at Successories for their workplace inspiration posters.

That's awesome

Yeah, that's some really amazing work.

I wonder if they could get a perspective view, by putting a tanker beside it. Maybe something smaller...

fake or not, it totally awesome

Yep!! I still think it's a cool pic, even if it may be a fake.

This how iceburgs look underwater.With every iceburg,only 10%is above water,the rest is below.

that looks really really nice. Good go have blown up and put on a wall

This is from Snopes.com on the photo:

Origins: Charming story, but this picture is actually an image called "The Essence of Imagination," marketed by Successories, the "premiere source for motivational media."

This image was produced in 1999 by Ralph A. Clevenger, a professional nature and underwater photographer who is also a member of the faculty of the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. As Mr. Clevenger explained, this image is not a single photograph but a composite of four different photographs (not all taken in the same place):

The iceberg image is a digital composite that I designed to illustrate the concept of "what you see is not necessarily what you get". As an underwater photographer I knew that my "vision" of what a big iceberg looks like was impossible to get in reality so I had to create it. The image exists in nature but due to water visibility is not possible to capture on film.

There are 4 separate images involved; the sky, the background, the top iceberg (shot in Antarctica), and the underwater iceberg (shot above water in Alaska and flipped in the final composite).

The pic still looks awesome though, the true majesty of nature is unbelieveable sometimes!

Sure is.

thats an awesome pic, earthygirl is butter baby cause she's on a roll with good threads!!!

wow that iceberg pic is soo cool, i saw a picture of that hanging somewhere i wanted to buy it put it in my room, but i had no idea that they weighed soo much wow!!! thanx for that post.. its amazing!!!

HERE is the original thread for this image.

From BA’s post;

The artist never claimed it was a real photo, but the fact that the image is a composite doesn’t make it any less dramatic. An awesome pic.

It may be bogus, but it’s stunning!

I THINK IT'S BEAUTIFUL.......

Thankyou Earthygirl I have been working out.....

I think the iceburg picture is great..... If only most people had so much beauty hidden inside the,....

ive seen that picture. like other folks said, its fake, but that is about what they look like from under water.

Awwww....thanks justfound.
Butter baby??
