When an iceberg has melted in a lopsided way it rolls over in a beautiful sort of slow motion--onto its side. It is very rare to see and it's over in less than a couple of minutes. This iceberg has just rolled over and you are now looking at the part that was under water. Look closely and you can see it slowly rising on the right side still as it adjusts. By the next day, the surface will have cracked enough to appear white again, then the sun will melt the ice leaving only the dirt trapped in it, which will make the iceberg look 'dirty'. See another of my videos for a close up. Tasman lake in Mt. Cook National Park. New Zealand South Island.
