This large piece of ice was the size of Jamaica, the largest moving object ever seen on our planet,\u201d said Heinerth.<\/p>\n<p>It took 12 days of travel to get to the remote destination for Heinerth and her team, which included dangerous situations, such as 60 foot waves causing injuries, ice coating the boat, and navigating through hard packed ice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we got down there, we [also] got stuck in the packed ice and this was all before we began our dives inside these icebergs. Nobody had ever cave dived inside an iceberg, so we didn\u2019t know what we would encounter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, the iceberg had an environment where Heinerth and her team could swim through and explore. They dove through passages and tunnels where no human had ever been. Some areas, Heinerth could swim underneath, discovering an incredible ecosystem that hadn\u2019t ever been documented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe experienced things I never even imagined, [there was] life inside the iceberg.
