I'd say it was longer than that -- it was pretty big so I'm saying at least 50 meters long (so 150 feet). Each of those columns was probably 2-3 feet wide?

Bill, as I look at your shot, I'm inclined to agree that I underestimated the overall length (and height)...but that led me to go back to my shots and look...I've uploaded a Flash gallery of the entire iceberg including the side with the seal on it. These are all shot in order of our circling the iceberg...is that you guys in the "other" Zodiac in my last shot? You'll notice the base that connects the iceberg is huge. When we came around and shot in the arch before seeing the columns we thought it was way cool. When we saw the columns, we were blown away.
Here's my gallery: [a href=\"http://schewephoto.com/TheColumns/]The Columns[/url] (warning, you need the latest Flash player and the previews are large so it sucks bandwidth).
P.S. Bill, is that us in YOUR shot? :~)
P.P.S. Usually, I wouldn't show pretty much an entire take of a location (I only edited out duplicate shots) but this place was really magical and though interested people would get a kick out of it.
P.P.P.S. This isn't intended in any way to take away from Micheal's shot which stands on its own...just a series to show the whole thing.
P.P.P.P.S. You can also catch a glimpse of tis iceberg in our video located at:
