Ice And Wonder
Personal memory by Timothy Fromer
2017 CE • Bergen, Norway
"I went to visit Norway a few years ago and while I was there I took a quick flight from Grimstad to Bergen to see see the glaciers, it took us hours to fly there and even longer to get into the area by boat, once we were there I saw an ice glacier and I saw it slowly melting as a result of global warming. It broke my heart to think that this would maybe be the last generation that would be able to even do this, I wish all the politicians of the world would visit these places to understand what there actions are resulting too on our planet."
