The Fish Islands are located west of Prospect Point off the western extremity of Graham Island in Antarctica. This area is known for stunning glacial scenery and large tabular icebergs derived from ice shelves in the Bellingshausen Sea. For a sense of scale, the iceberg is rising out of the water about 75 to 100 feet above the surface. Four-Fifths of the iceberg is below the surface so the blue plunging down is at least 300 plus feet beneath the surface.
