Two icebergs that broke free of Antarctica and floated out to the Southern Ocean can be seen creating waves in the clouds.

The air mass that forms wave clouds does not have to be at the same level as the icebergs. It simply must encounter a disturbance large enough to force the air up, instead of around."
Kelly Brunt, a glaciologist with NASA, said, “You see these features over the big icebergs
