Blue ice is formed by compression of snow in glaciers. Air bubbles are squeezed out by the pressure.
We saw this iceberg cave whilst sailing between icebergs in a Zodiac boat in the Gerlache Strait, just looking to see what we could find. One iceberg had a couple of crabeater seals resting but this blue ice cave was easily the highlight. The day was overcast and this brought out the colours of the ice.
The Gerlache Strait, 64S 62W, is wider and east of the Neumayer Channel.

Beautiful color.
I'd like I've lived similar situations...
