More Snapshots
We're currently on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island, in a small town called Fox Glacier. Most glaciers in the world (and most ice cover in general) is shrinking at an alarmingly fast rate and it is possible that during our lifetime there will be only a few glaciers left on the planet. In our usual part of the world (the eastern arctic) the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf has been rapidly disintegrating. The Fox Glacier is one of the few glaciers on Earth that is currently growing in size (due to very particular local weather patterns). Dr. H and I had a chance to hike high on the glacier and explore some of the beautiful ice caves. It was an amazing experience, but unfortunately one that may not be possible even 20 years from now.
