Frozen Wave?

Mike,

No matter how cold it gets, and no matter how much it snows in NE or CO, there is always one place that’s colder and snowier — Antarctica, where these pictures of a “Frozen Wave” were taken. One wild-eyed blogger claims that these show an ocean wave that punctured the sea ice and froze solid.  That may be what it looks like, but it is probably part of a glacier poking up through the sea ice. If anyone finds out an accurate attribution for these amazing pictures, please let me know.
