The picture NASA shared greatly differs from what is generally seen in the Antarctic region. Icebergs with straight edges can be commonly seen but an iceberg with two straight edges, meeting at perfect right angles making it look like a rectangle, can rarely be seen.The NASA aircraft covered the Arctic, Antarctic and Alaska region and took aerial shots of the place. The Operation iceberg was undertaken to study the height, depth, thickness and movement and change in behaviour of sea ice , glaciers, ice sheets and icebergs. This iceberg has been clicked above the Larsen C ice shelf. Its occurrence is very rare in nature.

Where the ocean peeks through the ice, it is dark blue. Most of the ocean surface is covered in rough-looking white ice, thinner and thicker in some places, interspersed with sea ice icebergs.\The icebergs have flat tops and sheer edges that rise above the sea ice. At this scope, perspective is hard to tell, but the icebergs rise far out of the water. In the center of the frame, an iceberg dominates.
