This week Carol got to go on a special trip to the New Zealand base here to see special ice formations made by layers of sea ice pushing against each other. 
The result is that huge chunks of ice get pushed up. You can see how big they care compared to people. We're standing on the ocean here. It's many, many feet frozen beneath us.
This is the favorite formation--looks like a sitting frog.
Some of the formations were blocks.
Some of the newer ones are a gorgeous color of blue.
This is beautiful with the sun shining through.
Some formations were pointy.
And sometimes the points were in a row.
Sometimes the ice was split.
The place made me think of a white, shiny version of the rock formations at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.
