crazy to think that guy has been on that boat for over 100 years
He clearly switched boats.
Boat of Theseus
No boat would live that long…
Thank goodness they cleared out all that snow and ice so that we can finally see the pretty mountains.
We should put some factories there!
This might be silly but we could replace the ice with trash?
Already working on it, my dudes.
At least we got some space to build car centric suburbia, eh? /s
yeah but it’s much more colorful now. that’s good, isn’t it?
OP always thinks positive.
But at what point does it become toxic positivity?deleted by creator
people 107 years ago loved sepia filters.
Good luck, everyone. I genuinely hope you make it through as okay as you can.
Thank you. I’ll do my best regardless. Will you be joining us?
I’ll do my best, yes.
I myself asked “What time of year was the lower photograph taken?” Then I realized I was being dumb, because if either photo was taken in winter time, we would see at least some ice in the water, if not a very large ice sheet.
That, and it’d be dark. You’d need to pack one hell of a flash.
New real estate!
Notice the first guy is in a wooden boat and the second guy is in a boat most likely made out of some plastic-based fibers. 🤔
Oprah buying up development rights on the coastline there too?
air is probably cleaner now than it was then
Elaborate?
go read a historybook on the industrial revolution
That would make the air… less clean now?
Edit: looks like PM2.5 and PM10 levels were 10-100x more around a hundred years ago. Seems like air quality is in fact better now.
This is wild 🫨
ah to have seen the raw undisturbed beauty earth once had…

I mean anyone is free to try their hand at reproducing it better, I’m sure the spot hasn’t changed that much since the modern one here was taken, and if it has, well it’ll just make the comparison that much more dramatic.
Yes, let’s focus on that.
The motorized boat is an accurate representation of how things are today.
What time of year in each photo?
Are you suggesting that Antarctica typically thaws out in the summer?
Is this Antarctica or the Arctic? The title said the Arctic, but you said Antarctica and the mountains do remind me more of the south than the north.
I assumed it was northern Canada, Russia, Iceland, or one of the other land masses at the edge of the Arctic Ocean.
- It is the Arctic, not the ant-arctic.
Actually that’s all.
What is this, an Arctic for Ants?!
Would you say it’s ant-antarctic?
Mountains of ice melt in the summer then the water refalls in the fall and winter as snow and freezing rain in truly apocalyptic amounts. Rebuilding the ice mountains to start the process over.
Can’t tell if a joke or if user doesn’t understand how glaciers work.
Joke
Given that the sun is up at roughly the same amount, and at the poles the sun remains consistently up or down according to the season, I think we can rightly assume these two photos are taken at least approximately at similar times of the year.
Also, are you trying to insinuate that 100+ foot tall glaciers are somehow “seasonal?” Because they aren’t.
Glaciers actually do retreat and advance seasonally or on even longer cycles. Some have terminuses that move back and forth literal miles. One of the key indicators of climate change is the fact that globally, glaciers are retreating more than they’re advancing on average.
Sure, but completely disappear in a season as if that’s “normal?” No.
“I must try to look smart by saying lots of things but being one hundred percent wrong about the topic at hand”
Question. How fast do you think glaciers reach that height?
I’m not your thread’s OP but I want to know the same question (what were the seasons) because no, I don’t know how fast glaciers reach that height either. Nothing about that implies denial of the validity, it’s a question to help quantify the change. Varying 10ft between seasons means this is a massive change regardless of season. Varying 100ft, not so much. No, I don’t beleive it’d actually be 100fr of change in 6 months, but I could see it being more than 10ft.
Did you think my question was a veiled attempt at climate change denial, lol?
What was it, ignorance and stupidity?
A question.
“I’m just asking questions!”
Are you trolling? The seasonal variation in arctic glaciers is negligible.
Is the boat the same distance from the shore?
