Title:	Tabular iceberg at sunset, Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica
Description:	A large tabular iceberg surrounded by fog and sea ice at sunset in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica. Icebergs such as this one, and those on the horizon, can be up to 10 or 20 kilometres in length and have underwater keels between 300 and 500 m deep. They drift largely in response to ocean currents because of their deep keels.
