Who is with me to make some iceberg crop circles?

YC - fund a giant helicopter with a laser to cut out elaborate designs in the ice?

Not that it's particularly interesting, but I also took a photo of a rectangular iceberg: https://imgur.com/a/XNWz0IO I bet with some cropping or from a different angle it could be made to look as rectangular as the one in the photo.

By the way, "cropping" as you used it could mean either of two things.

I saw this the other day that may be even stranger than this rectangular iceberg, which is pretty weird too btw. https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1016610/weird-news-yout...

Everything on that site is sensational conspiracy theories and hoaxes. "Sailors fused to ship during electro-magnetic invisibility test", "Secret Alien Bases Found on Moon Using Google Earth"

That site is trash and isn't shouldn't be considered news.

How tall do you think that tabular one was in your photo?
