Thus it absorbs the visible light despite the scattered shortest blue fraction, giving it its distinct deep blue waved appearance. This cavity in the glacier ice formed as a result of a glacial mill, or moulin.</p> <p>Rain and meltwater on the glacier surface is channelled into streams that enter the glacier at crevices. The waterfall melts a hole into the glacier while the ponded water drains towards lower elevations by forming long ice caves with an outlet at the terminus of the glacier. The fine grained sediments in the water along with wind blown sediments cause the frozen meltwater stream to appear in a muddy colour while the top of the cave exhibits the deep blue colour.</p> <p>Due to the fast movement of the glacier of about 1 m per day over uneven terrain this ice cave cracked up at its end into a deep vertical crevice, called cerrac. This causes the indirect daylight to enter the ice cave from both ends resulting in homogeneous lighting of the ice tunnel.</p> </blockquote>http://perceptuallymuse.tumblr.com/post/6658884712http://perceptuallymuse.tumblr.com/post/6658884712Sat, 18 Jun 2011 12:49:50 -0400GlacierIceCaveBlue<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/81ZtwpUxUT0?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><span> <h1 id="watch-headline-title"><span> <h1 id="watch-headline-title"><span> <h1 id="watch-headline-title"><span title="One Leg Canyon [ORIGAMI STOP MOTION ANIMATION]" dir="ltr" id="eow-title">One Leg Canyon [ORIGAMI STOP MOTION ANIMATION]</span></h1> <p><span>Very well done</span></p> </span></h1> </span></h1> </span></p>http://perceptuallymuse.tumblr.com/post/6657607169http://perceptuallymuse.tumblr.com/post/6657607169Sat, 18 Jun 2011 12:04:21 -0400SHIGERU OKADAJapanOrigamiStopMotionAnimationコマ撮りストップモーションアニメ折り紙EpicStory<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/22439234" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>This was filmed between the 4th and 11th of April, 2011.
