Earth's "Crying" in Norway Ice Layer

NORDAUSTLANDET, -Glance glacier like other glaciers in the frozen Arctic. But in a closer observation, a painful face painted on the wall melting ice, which was the crying and the tears flowing river.

Image of 'Mother Earth' that was sadly seen by local residents during the process of melting, with melting ice and snow falling into the sea below.

Figure draw on Austfonna ice Nordaustlandet located at Svalbard Islands, Norway would almost certainly be used for environmental activists to protest climate change. Sea-level rise caused by melting ice is one of the main worries of the impact of global warming. Experts have warned that countries that are in the lowlands will be below the water surface.

Figure Mother Earth is crying was taken by a Navy photographer and lecturer Michael Nolan environment in an annual voyage to observe the glaciers and wild life around him.

Jon Ove Hagen, a glacier expert who is also a member of the World Glacier Monitoring Bureau (World Glacier Monitoring Service / WGMS) and Geosains professor at the University of Oslo, Norway, has confirmed that the layer of ice that gives the image of Mother Earth is 'crying' is continually shrinking as much as 160 feet every year for decades. Hagen has studied Austfonna ice since 1988.

Austfonna is the largest ice shelf area in Norway, precisely on the island of Svalbard Nordaustlandet. According to Hagen (59), has a broad Austfonna about 3000 square miles and is by far the largest ice sheet on Svalbard, and one of the largest in the Arctic.

He explains, glacier shrinkage on the surface in 12 years Austfonna averaged 160 feet per year. Geometry of the ice region, he said, is changing. The front continued to retreat, the bottom becomes thinner, with a depletion rate of three feet per year, while the interior thickened about 1.6 feet per year. Layer, said Hagen, decreased about 1.6 cubic miles of ice every year.

Austfonna is the area's second largest ice sheet in Europe after Iceland and Vatnajvkull in tersebesar classified seventh in the world.

COMUNITY CARE OF EARTH

Hello here I want to now try to share ideas or discussion about our situation this earth.
Where we can solve the problem of the earth, we are now this:
I think if, in protecting the earth we must start to change how we view life and little by little lifestyle change that can increase the problems in the earth, for example:
we must realize that this earth should we keep, through the awareness that comes from within us will create a love of the earth, it will trigger us to do things that can keep this earth.

at the start of this small example of what the nature lover who has to re-planting the forest bare, maintain ecosystem, not to destruction on the earth.
That is among the things that a small change we must start, not until our children and grandchildren can not experience or enjoy this beautiful earth that we ulah because in maasa now.
let's start from our own environment that is around us, do not do the berhayal big but never terealisasikan, just a concept or just idea.
With the movement to establish or solidarity / community care environment in which have plans to protect the earth and not only up to a plan without the realization or implementation of the verification.
