Yeah, the title is a bit click-baity. I too was expecting some interesting experimental imagery where an entire iceberg was used as a lens, either literally or metaphorically.

it says made from an iceberg... as in from part of an iceberg... do you know how big an iceberg is?

I thought it might be something similar to the neutrino detector. Where they somehow used an iceberg to deflect and focus some kind of radiation. The actual article was obviously in a very different direction but cool too in its own right.

Exactly! It'd be different if the heading said "A Camera Lens Made from a Part of an Iceberg". But as it stands, I went in hopeful that an entire 'berg would be used in some creative or ingenious way.

The title is correct. You would have been looking for "An iceberg as a camera lens"

likewise... I first thought... an iceberg? what?.... clicked through and was pffffft and the saw the blurry pics and was most un impressed. But now my expectations have sunk like the titanic I'm going, ok, that's pretty cool.
