This image was taken from the ISS by an astronaut. It shows a coffin shaped ice-berg named BT-15 migrating to the "Ice-Berg Graveyard". This graveyard has been named since as ice flows into this region of the ocean, ocean currents rapidly warm the water and ice begins to melt, "killing" ice-burgs. The fact that it is a coffin adds to the "morbid reality" and also a metaphor for our volatile climate change.
