Free speech, exercised both individually and through a free press, is a necessity in any country where people are themselves free.

Striped Iceberg

I try not to do a lot of "Oh this is so cool!" posts, but wow, this is so cool:

Those are layers of sediment embedded in an iceberg.

I find it interesting that people are so wary of doctored photographs that this would need to be covered at Snopes, but it is, and their article includes a few other pics. I can't say it caused any skepticism on my part, but it did inspire a lot of awe.

The Austrailian government's Antarctic Division has some more excellent pics of striped icebergs posted on their website, if that kind of thing floats your boat.
