Icebergs and Their Shapes – Sculptures of Time

Antarctica is a gallery of ice, and icebergs are its masterpieces. Each one is a unique sculpture, carved over centuries by wind, waves, and temperature. Some rise like cathedral spires; others bend gracefully into arches and curves. Watching them drift slowly across the horizon, I was mesmerized by their silent grandeur.

On one morning expedition, a massive iceberg floated near our Zodiac. Its surface glittered in the rising sun, revealing shades of sapphire and silver. I circled it, awe-struck by the complexity and delicacy of nature’s architecture. Every ridge, every crevice, told a story of time, endurance, and transformation.

The lesson was clear: beauty and strength are forged over time. Icebergs endure storms, tides, and shifting currents, yet they remain resilient. Like them, we too must navigate challenges while preserving our essence.

Come drift beside me among Antarctica’s sculpted ice. Observe the timeless beauty, feel the stillness, and let these silent giants teach patience, resilience, and the art of enduring with grace.
