Emperor penguins: thousands of chicks in Antarctica die due to record-low sea ice levels

“Thousands of emperor penguin chicks across four colonies in Antarctica are believed to have died because of record-low sea ice levels that caused a “catastrophic breeding failure” in late 2022, according to new research.”

Hi fedi!
A dew days ago I saw a very nice interactive map showing the water coverage of the world at 1.5C. Anyone knows of a website like that?

Boosts appreciated :) :boostRequest:

Large rock slide probably caused by melting permafrost in alps

Ice is not only melting in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. What used to be hard rocks is now crumbly and soft.

The mountain in question is now 100 meters smaller and still unstable. Experts say that generally anything above 2,500 or 2,600 meters is in danger of similar events.

My ink drawing of the Arctic Angst sculpture made by Inuk carver Bill Nasogaluak. I drew this on this day in 2020 at the Art Gallery of Ontario. I have unfortunately not felt safe to return because they do not require visitors to wear masks. I wish businesses would make their premises safer for people with chronic illness. I very much miss going to the art gallery.
