Wow- it's amazing to see how much the earth is changing, and not for the better. But those sunbathers! What the heck?!

Nice photo. Hopefully the ice is rebounding now. There is more ice this year than in 2007 and 2008.

Kristin, it is a lovely photo and speaks to us and the sunbathers, they must be very cold blooded creatures, funny how they look like us.

Many low land areas, including the Maldives have been trying their best to build barriers to against the rising sea level, Katyzzz. However, I didn't think that Maldives is going to survive from the disaster, if the Arctic icebergs are totally melt down!
