Icepennnn-1 Andy Rouse is a professional wildlife photographer. He recently snapped a photo of this, er, ice penis in the Bransfield Strait between the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands. (For full effect, rotate the photo 90 degrees counterclockwise.)

    I think he took a picture of himself and photoshopped it blue so he could show everyone his junk.

    Hey we dick with nature, now it can dick back.

    and what a cold prick he was…

  • Talia

    I’m not sure a penis shaped ice fragment would be the right shape to lure sailors to their doom..

    #11: hehee. nice catch.

    This is one more example of how global warming is going to screw us!

  • David Pescovitz

    CATT @11, The article I linked to referenced “Rouse” too, but apparently he’s a real guy.

    V @12, You win.

  • ZehnKatzen

    Well, whoever gave us this photo certainly doesn’t Suck At Photoshop (if you know what I mean and I think you all do).

    I also find the adviso to “turn the photo 90 degrees to get the full effect” to be screamingly hilarious. Also, at 90 degress the thing would melt anyway, so there you go there.

  • Drhaggis

    Bonus points for the first Peninsula pun.

  • ZehnKatzen

    @V (#12), I concur with Pescovitz. You get the prize.

    Boy that photo gave the the “uh-oh” feeling.

    i wonder if that’s the iceberg that screwed Titanic

  • darkbeanie

    I’m reminded by #12, a long time ago I saw a photograph (actually a slide I think?) of an extremely penis-shaped hoodoo which I believe was somewhere near Arches National Park in the Moab, Utah area, appropriately called “the Phallus”. The likeness was absolutely amazing. I’ve occasionally searched for a picture of it online, but haven’t turned up anything…

    I beg to differ. “Hello sailor!”

    Plural of penis is penes, not penises, IIRC.

  • Torley

    I appreciate how they did research on the photographer’s name just to assure it wasn’t a prank — so fitting it’s A. Rouse! ;D

    Now, where’s the female equivalent iceberg?

    All the Viagra that so many take has to get out of their system and then in the sewer, in the river, to the sea, to the Arctic ice fields…

  • yiftach

    This gives BoingBoing a whole new meaning.

    (I can’t believe it took this long for someone to say this.)

    Is that an iceberg, or is Antarctica happy to see me?

    Looks like somebody needs to cool off with a…warm shower?

    Meg: Dad, I’m sorry I have to say this, but… you’re a fat ass who’s completely incapable of performing the simplest tasks. But, you’re also my father, and you’re the only one I’ll ever have. So I’m not gonna fire you. Mr. Penisberg, I quit.
    Peter: “Penisberg”?!
    Mr. Penisberg: Yeah, yeah, get it all out of your system.

    I demand that filthy perversion of nature be removed immediately!!! Can’t I go anywhere without being assaulted by penis shaped drinking straws and penis shaped ice?! How am I suppose to give my child a cold glass of lemonade without her seeing someone’s evil, dirty, and unholy cock’n'balls!!! There is nothing more sick and degrading to all of human kind than reproductive organs! They should all be cut off!!! God WILL rain his wrath upon all those that continue to pervert his natural creations!!!

  • obeyken

    it’s not a penis, it’s a lighthouse.

  • Keppoch

    I’ve seen bigger.

  • SugarFree

    Given the proportions in comparison with the testicles, even rotated 90 degrees I doubt this little guy would give anyone the “full” effect.

    Maybe he’s a grower and not a shower.

    From the article

    The cockberg was photographed by Andy Rouse in the Bransfield Strait near Antarctica.

    Experts now believe that it is only a matter of time before an armada of penis-shaped chunks begin to break off the Antarctic ice floes, and then roam the oceans wreaking havoc and luring sailors to their doom.

    OMG, I’m crying because I’m laughing so hard.
