Science of Why Glacier Ice and Lake Ice Appears Blue. The blue ice of Grey Glacier at Torres del Paine National Park in Chile is blue because there aren't bubbles in it to scatter light. by Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Glacier ice and frozen lakes appear blue, yet icicles and ice from your freezer appear clear. Why is ice blue? The quick answer is that it's because water absorbs other colors of the spectrum, so the one that's reflected back to your eyes is blue. To understand why, you need to understand how light interacts with water and ice. Why Water and Ice Are Blue In both its liquid and solid form, water (H 2 O) molecules absorb red and yellow light, so the reflected light is blue. The oxygen-hydrogen bond (O-H bond) stretch in response to incoming energy from light, absorbing energy in the red part of the spectrum.
