Kind of cool. Nothing at all suspicious. This doesn't belong in the "conspiracy" group at all. Nope nope nope.

The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf. <a href="https://t.co/XhgTrf642Z">pic.twitter.com/XhgTrf642Z</a></p>&mdash; NASA ICE (@NASA_ICE) <a href="https://twitter.com/NASA_ICE/status/1052601381712887809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [/TWITTER]

Somehow I doubt it is a naturally calved iceberg. Nature just doesn't design things like that.
Be interesting to find out what it is.

What? Ice is naturally square. You never get ice in your drink at a retaurant?

On a more serious note, plenty of crystalline structures in nature that form perfect squares/cubes so nature does often design things like that.

And ice formed from water deposition (i.e. snow) does have an ordered structure, and the majority of polar ice is formed from water deposition. That said, that iceberg is suspicious as hell.

Actually my ice here at home is not square it is rounded. The round part always forms a dam in the glass and I get a flood when the dam overflows.
