According to the RDPL: Because the orange (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the bluer it appears
The purity and age of the ice also play an important factor in the color of ice in glaciers. As the ice ages it is compressed, melted and frozen again eliminating air bubbles that scatter the light rays and bounce them back out in the same color they came in (white). Once the ice becomes pure the light waves are much more likely to be absorbed promoting the deep blue color.

What type of water do icebergs consist of?
Frozen water.
What are the effects of icebergs melting?
Icebergs melting adds fresh water to the oceans. Icebergs are floating already, so when they melt they do not cause a rise in sea levels. Glaciers and land ice, like the Greenland ice-cap, and any ice on Antarctica, do cause a rise in sea levels when they melt.
What colors are icebergs?
Icebergs themselves are colorless. The appearance of color in icebergs is the result of reflected and refracted light.
Who monitors icebergs in Australia?

Depends on the latitude. Sufficiently close to the poles there are ALWAYS icebergs. And sufficiently close to the equator there are NEVER icebergs. After that, icebergs or not is always a probability influenced by latitude and season.
How does global warming affect icebergs?
Icebergs are made of ice and since the greenhouse gases are making the earth warmer the icebergs are melting.
Where do north Atlantic icebergs come from?
