Given we were talking about cracks in the landfast ice, here’s a small one we were figuring where to cross. Two Polar Bears had strolled along it earlier looking for seal. #Nunavut#Arctic
The BBC's Quentin Sommerville spent a month with revolutionary forces at jungle bases and on front lines in Myanmar....Two loudspeakers, as big as the men carrying them, are brought to the rocky hilltop. Some 800m below, in the town of Hpasang, lies a sprawling Myanmar army base....
What about the 35000 civilian deaths #Netanyahu already caused in Gaza, all the journalists and doctors murdered by the #IDF and the deliberate starvation of Gaza - all part of Netanyahus planned genocide. Is he also calling them "tragic accidents" ?
fuck that evil piece of shit #nazinyahu and anyone who supports him.
@CelloMomOnCars How many more will break off, with apparently no one in the media noticing or reporting?
Perhaps this would get more public awareness as an alternative to sports betting, the odds in which section of the ice shelf and when it would break off could be subject to betting.
At least then the public would realize that they’re betting on their future by not doing anything about climate change.
@CelloMomOnCars Sea ice stabilizes the land ice behind it. Meaning that collapsing ice shelfs can have dramatic effects on sea level rise when the glaciers behind them mobilize themselves.
@carolski You can see in this photo. The closer crack comes from the right, the further one comes from the left. The island of ice is almost joined at the upper right and almost at the left foreground.
The warmest 12-months in millennia for the Earth as a whole is right now. For the Arctic though, the warmest 12-months was in 2016, with the post-2019 years notably less hot.
I explore the "where" and "why" in the latest Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. #akwx#Arctic#Climate#Alaska
If I wanted to avoid escalation by militant Islam in the #middleeast, I wouldn’t start by making a quarter million able-bodied men homeless & motherless with nothing to lose.
@gimulnautti surely they will get gainful employment building the soon to be Israeli occupied Gaza apartment blocks with sea views. You know, the ones that Palestinians will never be allowed to visit once built.
@RadicalAnthro Thank you for the link - that's so fascinating!
I had to think about the global swap culture of embroidered patches for #Visiblemending via social media ... a very ancient behaviour!
My personal favorite camp on the continent. Fashioned out of a “jamesway” that was used in the Korean War. It’s a little more gritty and DIY than other camps, which gives it its charm and explains why I love it.
@nguarracino My family was in the post office for 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters back home in Roblin. This stamp was issued in 1929, the year my dad was born and the tattoo is meant to honour him.
Things you probably don't know about me. #1 I love antarctic science and stories. So much that I have pretty much every book written about the heroic age. I also have this. It's a picture drawn by Dr. Edward Wilson, who accompanied Scott on both his polar expeditions. This is a picture drawn by Wilson as a gift to his sister on her birthday in around 1880. I love it! #antarctica#captainscott
