Are you surprised at the existence of these ice islands, and that this one stretched 1.4 miles below the surface?

Are these for real?

I wasn't aware anything quite that large existed.

Here's one that extends 709 feet down.

I would like to see something like that.

I knew they existed and were of tremendous sizes. I watch a lot of non-fiction DVD's. I'd love to see them also, Lynda. We have a boat we can all take a little cruise.

I had no idea that they even existed

No - not surprised. But I have no reference as to whether the 1.4 miles is unusual or not.

I was very surprised by the depth it went to.
