Stock Photo: Dramatic Ice Details On A Glacier Wall.
ID 293942327 © Vilaimages | Megapixl.com
Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears. Rocks scoured from surrounding valley walls create dark debris lines called lateral or medial moraines along the edges and down the center of glaciers.
