Hi and welcome to wikipedia. Thanks for uploading the image for the Ice spike article. I've been trying to find an image that better illustrates the classic shape of the naturally-formed spikes but, although there are some spectacular ones on the web, there was nothing in the public domain that I could use. However, the one you've uploaded shows the classic spike shape and it projects at an angle from the surface - brilliant! I have uploaded a new version of the image that is slightly cropped and I would have used it for the main image except that, sadly, the spike itself is ever so slightly out of focus so it can't be blown up more. Having said that, I wish the I'd taken some photos of the side view of the trapezoidal one I contributed, but these things are so rare you usually only get the chance to photograph them once unless you're very lucky. I've expanded and rewritten the ice spike article in the last few days and submitted it for the Did you know? section on the main page so it should be appearing there in the next few days see:here. I've added some stuff below that you may find useful. Richerman ''  (talk) 18:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
