Stunning Photos Of What’s Hiding Under
The Tip Of The Iceberg
G'day folks,
Scientists have long since discovered that 90 percent of all icebergs
lie underwater. No wonder there’s a famous saying “just the tip of the
iceberg” meaning that something is only a small, usually
unrepresentative portion of something much larger that we cannot see
yet.
One photographer decided to prove this saying by diving to
undiscovered places where most people don’t have a chance to go and
capturing what lies beneath the iceberg.
39-year-old German
photographer Tobias Friedrich started photographing his adventures and
making a name for himself as a top underwater photographer in 2007.
Traveling from tropical locations to the arctic, he captures the sights
of icebergs from below, making the underwater world his home.
During
his trip to Greenland, he had a really good close-up and personal view
of icebergs laying there and got the chance to appreciate their
incredible size and greatness. His photographs perfectly represent their
various shapes, sizes, and textures, proving that each of them is
unique and the real beauty of them can only be seen if you look
underneath.
These magnificent underwater photos convey a very
strong message about the effects of global warming and how we need to
take some urgent actions so these incredible icebergs won’t melt away.
As a frequent visitor of Greenland, Friedrich has seen the huge impact
that global warming has had on this land and how this country’s ice
melts earlier with each passing year.
Now, let's have a good look at these giants.
