While cruising about on NPR's Science Friday, I found this video "Secret Life of Ice" by Edward Aites, a Seattle photographer
NPR Science Friday's "The Secret Life of Ice"
This beautiful work is done with time lapse photography using a microscope with a polarized filter on backyard ice. Imagine "flying" about inside of Greenland's ice cap, on a continental scale, up to almost 2 miles thick! More NPR about the melting ice cap-- including some good news can be found at
