Hubbard Glacier's Big Splash

I shot this on a trip to Alaska on a cruse. This is Hubbard Glacier which was one of several the boat stopped by for us to see. I happened to have the camera pointed in the right direction when the calve broke off and splashed in the sea. I thought the colors in the ice were fantastic. I always thought that glacier ice was white. I found out that the light is refracted by the ice and turns it blue. EXIF data: D80, 70-300mm Nikkor Lens, Shot at 105mm, ISO 400, f/5, Auto White Balance, Shutter Speed 1/500 sec., Matrix Metering, Hand Held, No filters, Adobe RGB, Aperture 3 PP.
