A unique black iceberg was spotted in the ocean

Black iceberg spotted off the coast of Canada.

As reported by BAKU.WS, this was announced by the publication ScienceAlert.

The unique object was noticed by fisherman Hallur Antonussen, who was working aboard the trawler Saputi. In the past, he had encountered icebergs with inclusions of stones and dirt. "But this one is completely different," he claims. "It's not just all black. In shape, it's almost... rhombic."

Canadian glaciologist Lev Tarasov suggests that the black iceberg is a fragment of a glacier. In his opinion, as the glacier crawled toward the ocean, the ice could have mixed with dirt. This is what gave it the unusual color.
