She weeps. She wails.
She sighs,
hopeful
that one day her children will learn to use their knowledge wisely.

The Big Ice.
Caribbean-blue melt-water pools
the size of small countries
spread upon Mother Earth’s once pristine pate.
Creaking, cracking
she moans,
under their weight…
Her troubles
carried on the four winds,
dust her once pristine complexion…
wreaking havoc upon not only her beauty,
but the very existence
of her children.
SERMERSSUAQ UKARPALUGPOQ
One can hear the inland ice calve
then crash
in a thundering clap…
Sermerssuaq,
a shining example of change
as her sweet tears transform into raindrops
– imaq –
Life giving source of all.
– may we learn to love, respect, and honour our world –
❤ Happy Earth Day ❤

Great shots! Concerned about the melting too. My shots are not as pretty as yours, but my post on Glaciers in Retreat might be of interest.

I did try to capture it, but seeing it the vastness of the change is even more dramatic in person
