1. Those images are wonderful. I hope people will also be inspired to look up what is happening in the Arctic, which inspired these.

   and for those not exhausted by some very technical but vitally alive interactions about what is happening there now, with animations and whatall about the current breakup and what it means, this:

2. Hi Susan,

   Thanks very much for your kind words. This little project was inspired in part by the Worldwide Fund for Nature’s “Earth Hour” last night. Have you heard of it before? If so did you turn off some or all of your lights?

   Unfortunately whilst raising awareness of these issues is of course vitally important, the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic at the moment are already “baked in” to the system. For anyone interested in even more in the way of “vitally alive interactions about what is happening there now” there’s also the prior interactions:

   The Cracks of Dawn

   and the latest interactions:

   Arctic Freezing Season Ends with a Loud Crack

   and the alternative interactions:

   Fragmentation Event. Will it have impact over the summer melt season?

4. Hi Susan,

   Thanks very much for that suggestion. I emailed Greenpeace, including a link to this page. They haven’t got back to me yet though.

   We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
   By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
   Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

   Thomas Stearnes Eliot
   From “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”

   Thanks very much for that suggestion John
