Iceblink Luck
Iceblink Luck is a term used in the context of sailing and navigation, particularly in polar regions. It refers to a phenomenon where a sailor sees a bright, shimmering light on the horizon, which can indicate the presence of ice. This optical effect occurs when sunlight reflects off ice or snow, creating a false sense of safety or direction.
The term also highlights the unpredictability of navigating icy waters. While Iceblink can signal nearby ice, it can also mislead sailors into thinking they are in safer waters. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for safe navigation in challenging environments.
