    My Scholarship entry - JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE EARTH

    NOT ALL CHANGE IS GOOD - It's like a gunshot in pin drop silence when the ever calm atmosphere of Antarctica is shredded apart every now and then these days when large chunks of ice break off into the water. Although billed as a natural phenomenon by scientists, day by day, the rate at which the ice is breaking now is counter productive as there is little to no time in recovering that lost ice before the next big 'break'. What I've captured here is a part of the Larsen B ice shelf that broke off in 2002, which is one of the largest break offs known to recent humankind. Experts suggest that this was due to series of warmer summers in Antarctica and that, is a clear heads up to Climate Change.
