The expedition leader said docking an iceberg was too dangerous as it could capsize at any moment. That’s what actually gives them such beautiful shapes, sculpted by the waves and the constant turtling. I was finally allowed 30 minutes. I quickly placed around the whale bone the seal skulls borrowed from a Ukrainian biologist. When I finished my TimeShrine the wind suddenly dropped and the white setting sun radiated a golden light. Gold can make white blue. In 2018 Antarctica has again shrunk to its lowest level on record. By 2100 global sea level rise could turn hundreds of million of humans into climate refugees.
