Burning Flower by Marek Biegalski.

‘One of my favourite things when exploring Iceland is the incredible glacial river perspective seeing from up high. They’re called ‘braided river’ systems, as they often resemble an intricate jumble of patterns, intertwining in an almost inexplicable fashion. These networks of river channels flow from the glaciers toward the sea … When the flow of the rivers decreases, sediment [leaves] small temporary islands of dark volcanic sand that cause the channels of the rivers to split. Its remarkable colours are very original and mesmerising’

"Not agressive" ... no only trying to break through the window to get at the juicy meteorologist!

Firing signal guns to scare the meteorologists away seems pretty aggressive to me!

Isn't it obvious the bears were attempting to rescue the Santa-hat-wearing white creature just on the other side of the window?   (What is that creature, anyway?)

Scientists in northern Alaska recorded a polar bear swimming for 9 days straight, covering a distance of 687km.

Any tips for us endurance swimmers, bears? 🏊‍♂️🐻‍❄️

I saw a fair number of these spots first-hand last summer. Scars on the land. It was sad.

Greenland really is green.  Or at least a very tiny part of it.

I did a bit of hunting in google maps for what is in the populated parts of Greenland, with my curiosity aroused by recent political discussions.
