Frozen Time Capsules: Thousand-Year-Old Glacier Iceberg Royalty-Free Stock Image

A thousand-year-old glacier iceberg is a colossal piece of ice, broken off from a glacier or ice shelf, that has been accumulating snow and ice for centuries. This ice, which can be over a thousand years old, holds within it a history of the Earth's climate, as it contains trapped air bubbles and isotopes that scientists can use to study past atmospheric conditions and climate changes. These massive ice structures, often found in polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland, can tower hundreds of feet above the water and extend much further below, making them a spectacular sight and a crucial part of the global climate system.
