The 'frozen wave': Stunning 50ft blue ice monolith captured in the Antarctic

[apples]

At first glance these beautiful images from the Antarctic appear to show 50-ft tall waves that have been instantly frozen as they break.

Some people have posted the pictures online, taken by scientist Tony Travouillon at Dumont D'Urville, with a description claiming they are a tsunami wave which was frozen.

But although email chains and internet forums back this claim up, what is really pictured is the natural phenomenon of blue ice.

No, no,no.  Ice doesn't work that way.  It's a nice picture,  but no.
