This image captured the moment, my question is, why are the colors of the ice so different on different parts, grey and blue, this image could be one the best images if colors where more natural.

Hello, thanks for your comment. The colors were indeed natural, they have not been changed during the development of the raw file. The colors of the ice depend on the age of it: Older ice contains less air than newer one (I am not expert, it may be the other way around), and look much more blue. In the white continent not everything is white!! :)

I believe you, then this picture is clearly one of the best images here:)

Thanks!

Having been to Antarctica, I can confirm these colors are natural

I believe you too:) I love this picture.
