A dramatic picture taken by Michael Nolan has been dubbed the face of Mother Nature crying on a canvas of melting ice and cascading water on a Norwegian Glacier. Randy Schutt discovered this amazing photo which shows a crying face in an ice cap located on Nordaustlandet, in the Svalbard archipelago of Norway. The tears of this natural sculpture were created by a waterfall of glacial water cascading from one of the face’s eyes, thus painting an alarming picture warning the world about the effects of global warming. Michael Nolan is a marine photographer and environmental lecturer. He has captured this picture while on an annual voyage to observe the glacier and surrounding wildlife. It’s best to quote Nolan’s words on this:

This is how one would imagine mother nature would express her sentiments about our inability to reduce global warming. It seemed an obvious place for her to appear, on a retreating ice shelf, crying.”

    we the human race are pretty arrogant to think we can harm this PLANET that has been around for 60billions years. Sure we can change that atmostphere, pollute the soil, whatever, but guess what, the planet doesnt care, WE’RE just screwed. When all is said and done, the planet will still be here…the question is just, will we?

    Mother nature is crying for us, because she TRIED to help us, but we’re the rebellious teen who thinks “she just doesnt understand me” when all she is doing is looking out for us.

    Vince,
    Wow, what an amazing new theory of seasonal weather patterns — Spring only happens in the mainlands! LOL! Alert The Weather Channel.
    So how does the warm air know to stay just over the non-glacier-covered parts of the continents without drifting over the glacier-covered parts of the continents? And how do the warm Spring rains know not to fall on the glaciers? Or on icebergs in the middle of the ocean?
    Oh wait — maybe rain only happens on the mainlands, too.
    Where did you get your training as a meteorologist, from watching “My Fair Lady”? (‘The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains.’)

    Whether it’s an image of Jesus in a cheese sandwich, the Virgin Mary in a reflective window, or whatever, it seems to me the perceived image says a lot more about the person who ‘names’ the image than it does about the object being named.

    So this is what Picasso’s work was all about. On that note, I think I will take the long way home.
