Glacier Power: Why is Glacier Ice Blue? | NASA Earthdata Glacial ice is a different color from regular ice It is so blue because the dense ice of the glacier absorbs every other color of the spectrum except blue — so blue is what we see! It’s Not Just Frozen Water Sometimes the glacial ice appears almost turquoise Its crystalline structure strongly scatters blue light The ice on a glacier has been there for a really long time and has been
