Trapped Whales

There were both white dollops/spots and spidery cracks in the ice a while ago.


Up close, the white splodges looked like white whale shapes, trapped under the ice. I know the sounds that expanding, moving ice makes and it could definitely be mistaken for whale songs! Look at how whale-like this shape is:
 

I really don't know what has made some sections whiter and less opaque - they weren't proud of the ice surface and seemed to have formed beneath the ice. Zooming in even more, you can see how many little bubbles are trapped in the ice


Still fascinated!
