The night of the disaster, the crew of the Titanic was well aware of ice dangers - in particular a massive icefield to the north. According to one account, it may have been First Officer Murdoch's decision to avoid this ice field that inadvertently lined the ship up with the dead iceberg. This photo, taken from the Carpathia, shows the extent of the icefield (as well as a giant iceberg), observed by one individual as "one solid wall of ice, at least 16 feet high, as far as could be seen."
