Glaciers are melting all over the planet. Green Land and both poles are contributing vast quantities of fresh water into the sea. The melt water is changing the salinity and temperature of the sea water which in turn is affecting the Gulf Stream by slowing its movement down. Should the Gulf Stream, which effects weather patterns in the Atlantic, actually stop its circulation, extreme weather patterns would increase and Europe would be thrown into an ice age. This piece is about glaciers the color of the ice at it breaks off and "calves" into the sea. The darker green horizontal section is the Gulf Stream, and the dark blue the constant dripping of melt water into the sea.
