Ok (Okjokull) is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path, said the inscription on the plaque written by Icelandic author Andri Snaer Magnason.

Less ice, more land. Mebbe the lost the recipe for ice cubes.
These people are idiots. Last month marks the first month Okjokull glacier was put on Wikipeda. There is no listing anyplace else I can find. It's also not on Google maps.
I wonder if they're going to mark the funeral of my ice maker when it brakes?

How did people feel back then when the glacier was getting larger?
It was called “The Little Ice Age” and we’re still emerging from it.

"Do I have larger glaciers in my freezer?"
If you don't here is a nice recipe:
One large bowl
five cups of water
leave in freezer over night.
you have a large glacier! ready for a funeral.

I planted memorials on Antartic shelfs Larsen A and Larsen B and now I can’t find them. I need a Go-Fund-Me campaign so I can find my dear memorials.

Lots of these idiots are billionaires they will not spend one dime to buy some of the "old growth" to save the trees.
But they will spend millions to destroy farmers livelihood to stop them from cutting them.
