Melted iceberg used as bird perch

The photo shows a melting iceberg where holes appear bigger and bigger but which structure seems solid enough for this antarctic skua using it as a perch.
It takes approximatively ten years for a massive iceberg to melt down entirely. This one will probably disappear by the end of summer. When iceberg are melting, the visible part takes every possible forms under sunrays exposure while the immersed part is carved by air bubbles released by the melting of ice.
