Floating off the Antarctic coast, there's a profoundly angular iceberg that has unwittingly become the object of internet intrigue. 。
Though scientists in Antarctica regularly spot these steep-walled "tabular" icebergs -- many nearly square or rectangular -- they certainly look like bizarre, unnatural forms in such a wild Earth environment.。
Seen from space, this particular iceberg has a rich diversity of sharp-edged friends -- and although it initially seemed perfectly rectangular, it's not.。

Thanks for signing up!。"It is definitely not that exceptional for tabular icebergs (as the one in the NASA image) to have very sharp corners," added Lhermitte. "If you look at the recent icebergs that calved of iceberg A-68 (near Larsen C), you will see that many of them have pretty ‘rectangularish’ shapes."。
