A view from yesterday's science flight over Antarctica: what sea ice looks like from 20,000 ft. straight up.

It does look like chunks of styrofoam! Look at the stress fractures in those babies!

Y'know what the patterns on some of those pieces remind me of? Extreme close-ups of skin.

Wow is right- If I didn't know better I would guess that a jackhammer was turned loose on a large chunk of concrete as in a parking lot. Very similar to what I've seen in construction projects. But fascinating regardless. Good Day!
