❄️Between the last glacial maximum & today, humans were exposed to severely rising sea levels 🌊 & recurrent phases of strong abrupt cooling events.🥶 #MPIM researchers have uncovered the origin of these strong temperature fluctuations over the past 20,000 years using a novel coupled climate-ice sheet model. They found that #iceberg armadas 🧊🧊🧊 & changed river courses were responsible for #AMOC weakening & abrupt cooling.

Scientists thought this Antarctic sea floor would be barren. But it's teeming with life
When the crew aboard an ocean science expedition learned that an iceberg the size of Chicago had broken off from an Antarctic ice shelf, they knew they had to stop what they were doing and go check it out. But they didn't expect to find a rich and flourishing ecosystem.

…The scientists didn’t think much life could thrive tucked under such a thick blanket of ice.

But what the team members found under the #iceberg surprised them: giant sea spiders, octopuses, ice fish, corals & sponges, including a vase-shaped one that might be hundreds of years old. In total, the researchers believe they will be able to identify dozens of #NewSpecies from the expedition.

A Translucent Iceberg in Diamond Beach, Iceland

Diamond Beach, or Jökulsárlón Beach, is a stunning natural wonder located near the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in Iceland. This unique beach gets its name from the sparkling ice chunks that wash ashore from the lagoon, resembling diamonds scattered across the black volcanic sand. The contrast of the crystalline ice against the dark sand creates a breathtaking visual spectacle.
The icebergs that make their way to Diamond Beach are remnants of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, which calves into the lagoon, producing large chunks of ice that float before eventually drifting out to sea. Some of these icebergs are small, while others can be quite large, and they often take on fascinating shapes as they erode over time in the ocean.
The beach is especially enchanting during sunrise and sunset when the light casts a warm glow on the ice and sand. Wildlife enthusiasts might also spot seals swimming in the nearby lagoon or seabirds soaring above.
