Glaciers

This is a beautiful image of Iceland's expanding glaciers. Many people argue that glaciers all around the word are receding, however Iceland's glacier are growing more and more each year. In my opinion the term "GLOBAL warming" is inaccurate. I feel as though our population should refer to fluctuations in temperature by continent, using names like the “Piping Hot Polar Cap” and so on and so forth. This would be simply be more appropriate because while some regions on earth, such as Alaska have been experiencing increases in temperatures other regions, like Antarctica are observing slight decreases in temperature. Perhaps man kind needs to glance at the gorgeous glaciers in Iceland, or stand on Antarctica's thickening ice bergs to realize that this “warming” is NOT a “Global” phenomenon!
