Glaciers......since you'd have to "travel" to see them.

Watching a show on Netflix about Glaciers melting. I never get past the subject, have to see what is happening.  Saw a picture on line yesterday. A small town on the coast of Newfoundland (Ferryland), has an iceberg that got stuck in shallow waters, and there's an iceberg 150 feet above the water, at its tallest point.

IF you don't believe in global,warming take a trip to Alaska and look at what global,warming has done to the glaciers there.

I was in Alaska in 1992, and again in 2010.  I could plainly see a difference in the glaciers, especially in Glacier Bay NP. They're melting at an alarming rate.

Speaking of icebergs, read about this interesting hunk of ice.

We did an Alaska cruise last summer, and you are so right. You can see where the glaciers have receded. We were hiking near the Mendenhall glacier near Juneau, and there were markers where the glacier used to be, decades ago. It's very worrisome.
