Rare Striped Icebergs

From the Dailymail

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.


When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.


Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

Public Enemies

Johnny Depp on the set

 

I’ve talked about this film before (and it sounds wonderful).  Also starring are Christian Bale, David Wenham, Stephen Dorff, Channing Tatum, and Marion Cotillard.  According to imdb the film is described:

 

The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.

“Street Kings” is a crime thriller about a disgraced cop who discovers corruption inside a police department and sets out on a mission to redeem himself. (Yeah, so not a terribly original idea, but I bring it up because of this cast.

 

Keanu Reeves

Hugh Laurie (can’t get enough of him)

Chris Evans

Common

Cedric the Entertainer

Forest Whitaker

Jay Mohr

 

And that’s just to name a few.  The film opens on April 11th.
