Humans may have spent thousands of years trying to master the art of the perfect sculpture, but these incredible photographs of icebergs show they are no match for nature's grand design.

Pictured off the Western Antarctic Peninsula, these colossal ice carvings have been whittled away by biting polar winds, freezing water and sub-zero temperatures to form incredible mega structures that take the breath away.

Notice the very last herd of penguins in existence trying to survive on the very last piece of ice on earth...it just makes the heart weep with sorrow for what we’ve done to the planet.

At least that’s what I just heard in Algore’s new movie, “An Inconvenient Penguin.”/s

Funny that no more comments are allowed on the article as the “Warmists” started their propaganda on cue.

During this past Winter, I almost had one of those things in my backyard, and then it finally warmed up(thank God).

That’s exactly what I saw! The ice looks more like an artistic representation of the Arizona memorial, than a natural occurrence.
