The slick on the water (top left hand side) is the sea beginning to freeze. / Photo taken in the Lemaire Channel Antarctic Peninsular For how much longer will scenes like this exist. Don’t let this photo fool you, the temperature in the Antarctic is rising 5 times faster than the global average. The time for eloquent oratory and pontification is over, the time for action is long overdue. The Gentoo Penguin is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species Melting sea ice and overfishing have triggered a dangerously rapid decline in penguin populations on the Antarctic peninsula – a direct result of global warming, warns a new report from the WWF. Temperatures on the frozen continent are rising five times faster than the global average due to the unprecedented rate of climate change, pushing four species perilously close to extinction. Warmer temperatures are forcing penguins to raise their young on increasingly thinner and more precarious ice floes, while stronger winds mean many eggs and chicks are being blown away from their parents before they are able to survive on their own. The gentoo, chinstrap and adélie – along with the emperor, the largest penguin species in the world – are now struggling to survive as melting sea ice destroys nesting sites and reduces vital food sources, such as krill.

If this was rock, it would be a fantastic climb.
Ice on trees is beautiful. Ice on the road, not so much.
A picture of my backyard during an ice storm.
the ice is hanging from the slide. the black is the concerete, the other thick layer is the pool.
I looked out my window this morning and it was hailing, the storm was furious, the sky bleak, but rainbows descended wherever i peeked.

cold winter icicles after first snow storm
Last winter we had a really bad ice storm. I figured it would be a good time to go out and find some rare scenes. This is one of the many trees that was covered completely in ice.
During a major ice storm, i went outside and took photos of the damage and some of the majesty of things being covered in ice. This is a flower that had died but was frozen.
