There are books with these images, and I once tore out all the pages(30 or more) and cut and taped them carefully
to a wall and it made a huge beautiful mural.

OMG, incredible pictures! The one of Brazil's San Simao Reservoir reminds me of a quilt pattern, lol!! Some one should make this image into a REAL quilt, and the proceeds go to more research!

I only saw Cmndr Hatfield's pictures, and they were astounding.

The article says how much ice is lost in the summer, but how much refreezes in the winter? Knowing what the net loss is on annual basis might be more useful.
