glaciers

Outside it looks like a black and white photo. The sky is so dark and the light so low, that through the window I can see no colour at all. Only clouds, snow and rock. Large chunks of ice float by in the water, when you g out on to the deck you can hear the glaciers and chunks of ice creaking loudly. But you can stay out on the deck for very long, since it is both cold and windy. Yesterday evening there was even snow, but that is gone now at least. This is possibly the bleakest part of earth I have seen, but it is beautiful in a way as well. We sailed past both the asia and amalia glaciers and they were stunning, the asia glacier was coated in a spooky blueish light that made it look more like something from another planet than something earthly….but some of the glaciers are dying, the warming temperatures have led to huge waterfalls and run off, they look beautiful, when in fact they are the signs of destruction…..
