A flat-topped tabular iceberg drifts across the Southern Ocean beneath a pewter sky, its sheer cliff face standing out against an otherwise featureless horizon. Tabular bergs calve from antarctic ice shelves — most from the Ronne, Filchner, and Ross — and can take years to drift north into the Southern Ocean's circumpolar current before melting out. The cleanly squared top edge gives them their name and reveals their origin: a piece of an ice shelf, snapped off whole. Photographed from a research vessel at long focal length to compress the berg against the empty sea. Polar minimalism, sized at the scale of a city block.
