ARCTIC THAW - makes you think doesn't it?

"Arctic Thaw" was a crystal sculpture I created a number of years ago to convey the increasing loss of the frozen ice cap and the Polar Bears natural habitat. Sea-ice coverage across the Arctic Ocean has dwindled to its second-lowest level since satellite records started in 1979, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The measurements for mid-September have yet to be collated but, according to scientists, the long-term trend points to an ice-free North Pole in summer within a decade.
