Ice Floe

06 February 2010 Ice Floe The glacial epoch is now part of history The spectacle of glacier widely seen in the Arctic A habitat for Arctic mammals and where the trees end This is the land of the midnight sun A huge mass of the glacier is shrinking Detached to become an iceberg And now melting into chunks of an ice floe Resembling a broken and frozen waterfall Steller’s Sea-eagle flying over the sea Do watch the Inuit hunter stranded on a high cliff The orcas' graceful dive into the deep And the flickering of an iceblink Extremely cold slowly subsiding by this global warming Shrinking Arctic ice and rising the sea levels Can there be another aurora borealis to glow in many colors While the last polar bear clinging to the top of the last piece of an ice floe
