Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier. During compression, air bubbles are squeezed out, so ice crystals enlarge. This enlargement is responsible for the ice's blue colour.

May 30, 2015 · One of the most amazing sights in Antarctica is its stunning blue ice, rippling like a frozen sea. Patches of blue-hued ice emerge where wind and evaporation have scoured glaciers clean of...
Blue ice forms when air bubbles are squeezed out of compressed snow and firn layers, which are layers of partially-compacted snow left over from previous seasons. The ice appears blue as a result of the absorption of solar radiation at yellow and red wavelengths.
Jan 30, 2023 · Blue ice is relatively rare, covering only around one percent of Antarctica. One other cool thing about blue ice is that it tends to contain lots of meteorites. Meteorites crash down all...
A blue-ice area is an ice-covered area of Antarctica where wind-driven snow transport and sublimation result in net mass loss from the ice surface in the absence of melting, forming a blue surface that contrasts with the more common white Antarctic surface.
Antarctica’s interior is circled by glacial ice flows that move outward from the frozen continent’s surface.Imagery collected over Antarctica by satellites l...
