Believe It Or Not: These Natural Photos Are Completely Real

Riding A (Frozen) Wave

While this photo may look photoshopped, it’s completely real. Weirdly, it looks like a tsunami was flash-frozen, but the truth is more interesting. The photographer simply captured a phenomenon known as ‘blue ice’. Blue ice is when snowfall gets so crowded on a glacier that it ultimately becomes part of the glacier.

The main cause to make it blue is that the ice consumes lower light frequencies while reflecting the higher ones. This results in colors like orange, red, green, and yellow getting absorbed, but blue and violet are reflected for us to see.
