When I was a kid we took a field trip to the museum of natural history in New York City and watched the IMAX documentary “Antarctica”.
It was a long time ago. What I remember the most was being in awe of the existence of this place where ice and snow existed in such enormous quantities, that it felt like a wilderness that stretched on forever.
One of the side effects of getting older is that the world seems smaller. Particularly growing up in the past couple of decades, during the Information Age.
But the idea that these vast, frozen parts of the planet may someday disappear — in my lifetime no less — that’s a hard one to process.
