Frozen world of the North. "Nature could give feelings of terror, awe, infinity, and minuteness". The images offer a glimpse into Earth's formation in the ancient past. Nowadays, Earth’s average surface temperatures have risen at a rate of 1.7 degrees C per century. The climate is changing. Glaciers and ice caps melt faster than usual. The meltwater drains into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise and the oceans to become less salty. I hope to convey the grandeur of nature with the purpose of appreciation and protection.
