NASA scientist Jeremy Harbeck was on a surveying flight over the AntarcticPeninsula earlier this month when he spotted an iceberg that looked like no other. Itwas almost perfectly rectangular, with square sides and a flat top that made it lookmore human-made than natural.I thought this rectangular iceberg was visually interesting and fairly photogenic so,on a lark, I just took a couple photos, Harbeck said. These photos have since beenshared around the globe.
