    　　Incredible images taken in the freezing waters of Greenland reveal just how
huge icebergs are BELOW the surface
        格陵兰岛叹为观止的照片揭露水面下冰山的真实面目
    导读:人们常说“冰山一角”，意指海面上的冰山只是显露出来的一小部分，更多部分在水面下，一起跟随水下摄影师领略水面下冰山的风采。
    A spectacular set of images taken in the freezing crystal-clear waters of
Greenland has revealed what icebergs look like below the surface.
    一组在格陵兰岛严寒却清澈透明的海里拍摄的照片令人叹为观止，为世人揭露了水面下冰山的真实面目。
    These breath-taking photographs were shot by 35-year-old underwater
photographer Tobias Friedrich who dived up to 30 metres to capture the enormous
icebergs on film.
    这组惊人的照片由35岁的水下摄影师Tobias Friedrich潜到水下30米深处，才拍摄到了这些巨大的冰山。
    Tobias, from Niedernhausen, Germany, said: ’It was truly overwhelming. You
forget all about the ice-cold -2 degrees Celsius water while photographing
    Tobias来自德国尼登豪森，他说：“这真是令人无法抗拒，拍摄时你完全忘记了自己是在零下二摄氏度冰冷的海水中。”
    The photographer snapped the icebergs near Tasiilaq, the capital of East
Greenland but admitted that it was a risky business. He said: ’It’s quite
dangerous diving so deep around the iceberg because at any moment something on
it could break off and hit divers or the boat. Unfortunately I’m only able to
capture images like this from time to time as the travel costs of getting to,
and staying in, Greenland are very expensive.’
    这位摄影师在东格陵兰首都塔西拉克附近拍了很多冰山的快照，然而他承认这是非常冒险的。他说：“在冰山周围潜到这么深是很危险的，因为冰山上随时可能会有冰块塌落砸到潜水者或船只。不幸的是，像这样的拍摄我也只能偶尔来一两次，因为前往格陵兰岛以及在这里逗留的旅行成本非常高昂。”
    Tobias explained that he has to wait for good weather before donning his
scuba gear and taking his camera into the water. From there it’s a case of being
in the water as long as he can before finding a good perspective to shoot
from.
    Tobias解释说他必须耐心等待好天气，才能穿戴潜水用具带上摄影机下水。自那时起就得呆在水下，直到找到一个好的拍摄角度进行拍摄。
    He added: ’I love working in such an extreme environment and taking
pictures where nobody or only a few people have been before.’
    他补充道：“我喜欢在这种极端的环境下工作，拍摄没有其他人能拍到或者只有很少人曾拍到过的照片。”
