"Glaciers, colossal figures of ice that dance aimlessly after a long process since its inception as liquid water. They swarm in a calm that ends a slow and violent erosive process. Now they are shown as statues carved capriciously by the elements of nature".

 

A glacier is a significant accumulation of crystalline ice, snow, rock, and sediments that originates on land and moves slowly down a valley from above the snowline towards the sea under the force of gravity.

​

Ice, because its reflectivity white color, acts like a protective cover over the Earth and our oceans and sends back the excess heat back into space and keep the planet cooler.

​

Climate change favors the rapid glacial melt in Antarctica and Greenland. It also influences ocean currents, as massive amounts of frigid glacial-melt water entering warmer ocean waters are slowing ocean currents. The main consequences of this will be rising sea level, sinking land, eroding coasts, and temperamental storms.
