Some Say The World Will End In Fire, Some Say In Ice*

Inspired by the work of Alfred Bierstadt

Melting glaciers and ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have a direct and profound impact on sea-level rise which, in turn increases coastal erosion and elevates storm surge as warming air and ocean temperatures create more frequent and intense coastal storms like hurricanes and typhoons.

NASA reports that Antarctica is losing about 150 billion tons of ice mass per year, and Greenland is losing about 270 billion tons per year.

This phenomenon is not limited to the poles and is happening around the world, including the U.S.

Alfred Bierstadt (January 7, 1830 – February 18, 1902) was a painter known for his romantic and luminous paintings of the American West and the Hudson River. Born in Prussia, his family moved to the United States when he was just one year old. He started creating art as a child and continued throughout his life. A member of the Hudson River School in New York as well as the Rocky Mountain School, Bierstadt made several trips out west to sketch the dramatic scenes he encountered. He would bring them back and complete large paintings in his studio in New York. He completed over 500 paintings in his lifetime. Some feel that his grand landscape paintings of Yellowstone and Yosemite helped create support for the conservation movement at the time. He died in 1902, largely forgotten.

*Our title Some Say The World Will End In Fire, Some Say In Ice* is from the poem “Fire and Ice,” by Robert Frost
