Before Arctic Sea freezed many areas, most coldest season in March, but 2019 first was few days -50C, after -50C was nothing in this 2019. Barent Sea, Greenland Sea, Bering Sea are nothing ice sheets on this March 23 2019. Continuting bad conditions since 2015. Badman Nishioka/ rainforest action group/HUTAN Group/Osaka　 Now Northern-west Greenland only be -20C, anothers nothing, +10C over of temperature!!!
The Greenland Ice Sheet has an area of 1.7 million square kilometres and in places is 3.2 kilometres thick. The Ice Sheet consists of 2.9 million cubic kilometres of ice, and if all the ice melted, the water level in the oceans would rise by around seven metres.
The Greenland Ice Sheet is the world’s third-largest ice cap. It is beaten only by the two large ice caps on Eastern Antarctica and Western Antarctica.

The graph on the right shows the annual variation of the volume of the sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere, excluding the Baltic Sea and the Pacific. The volume of the ice is calculated on the basis of the ice thicknesses from the HYCOM-CICE model. In each grid cell the volume is calculated as thickness multiplied with concentration and with area, with contributions from all grid cells to the total volume. The grey band around the climatologic mean value corresponds to plus/minus one standard deviation based on the 10-year average 2004-2013.

Read more about the model the map is based on.

The Stairs - 2

+Elizabeth Kearvell I was looking back through old posts tonight Elizabeth and discovered very sadly that Roger Agnes had passed away a year or so ago. We had a good many chat and shared a love of flowers and westies. It's a terrible thing that the work of so many people is being simply deleted soon.

Cave Creek Nepean (Woodhouse Canyon)

For fun. Woodhouse Creek enters a deep canyon through the long cave seen in this picture. A long exposure picks out color detail on the walls, including greenery where sun penetrates. This can become a raging torrent after rain in the catchment above.

The US unemployment rate is currently close to 4%, and the country has added jobs every month for a record 101 months in a row. Wage growth, which has lagged behind jobs growth since the recession, is finally, if slowly, picking up. US #GDP - the widest measure of economic health - is now about 3.4%, up from 1.8% in the first quarter of #Trump’s presidency. Trump says he’s truly Making America Great Again.

Republicans suffered a major defeat in the #midtermelections despite a strong economy. But midterms are often seen as a protest vote. When it comes to the general election - if the #economy continues on its current course - the Yale economist Ray Fair, Moody’s chief economist, Mark Zandi, and Luskin all believe Trump would win. Unless he is in prison.

With spring well on its way, I thought I'd share with y'all this cozy transitional look. Layers are vital this time of year, but we can still start incorporating a few lighter colors that are fitting for the season! http://www.fallingforautumn.com/2019/03/springtime-scarf.html

Fall of Giants Wadbilliga National Park
Celebration: countdown 5

A giant once stole three girls swimming in a pool at the top of these falls. One of the girls called all the birds in the sky to help free them, and a multitude of birds came and threw the giant's head to the ground. The giant's head may still be seen at the foot of these falls. Look closely, and you will see the tears falling from his eye.

The Giant was not alone. Look and see the other giants all around us. When they torment, remember the birds. Turn to the sky and call them with all your breath.

This is the Tuross River at the Wadbilliga near the sunken forests of the Duea. It drops about 200m (600') and is one of the most remote falls safely accessible to bushwalkers.

Image: I have processed a slightly wider image (for printing as one of the images in a 'brutal art' exhibition). This is a wider angle version. I chose a soft 'ink and watercolor' approach to pick out each of the rocks in the scene (working with a black and white image before washing color back into the image).

Celebrate: Thank you. To celebrate what we all achieved on G+, i am publishing the 50 most viewed posts in this collection (with 450m views) until shutdown. This is a reprocessed scene of this fall (5th most viewed).

So This is Making America Great Again?
Check out which bases in foreign countries are being considered for school and child care cuts. Then look at the Alaskan air base with no room for a school with 240 children additional. These are political targets. In Arizona McSally reports there should not be any such cuts. But we know who she’s a big fan of.

Trump's border wall money may come at expense of schools for military kids
