Inspired by his first visit to Patagonia fifteen years ago, artist Frank Thiel returned in 2011 and 2012 to capture
the glacial ice formations and changing landscape of Patagonia.
(São Paulo, Brazil) Gallery welcomes German artist Frank Thiel, for his second solo exhibition, product of his many visits to Patagonia, where he turned his camera on the massive
glacial ice formations in the Parque National Los Glaciares in Argentine, Patagonia, which is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the third largest ice cap in the world.
Nowhere is a Place marks the international debut of Thiel's latest work, in which he has turned his camera on the massive
glacial ice formations in Argentine Patagonia.
Not exact matches
Unlike a lot of the upper Midwest, which has a boring, homogenous landscape because of the
glacial drift during the last
ice age, this region has cliffs and rock
formations.
Scientists have suggested that similar
formations in Sweden formed when the immense weight of
glacial ice forced sand and other loose material into fissures in underlying rocks.
The beginning of the last
glacial period was characterized in the Northern hemisphere by significant accumulation of snow at high latitudes and the
formation of a huge polar
ice sheet.
Also, I believe we are seeing the beginning of a new
glacial southern migration, the Arctic
ice cap has thinned and the surface mass has been on the increase which to me is indicative of a
glacial formation
The fire - ball was covered by dusty -
ice when crossing the horizon event, which resulted in the
glacial era and oceans
formation.
It also reproduces the Eemian - last
glacial transition where CO2 levels remained high, while temperatures were near minimum (and
ice sheet
formation was near maximum).
Glacial outburst floods due to such melt and
ice dam
formation in the major
ice sheets are catastrophic events of geological scale and impact.
Negative delta C - 13 (as) values in
glacial AABW were likely caused by poor ventilation during
formation, probably associated with extensive sea
ice coverage.
Changes in the oxygen features of
glacial ice indicate variations in temperature during
formation.
These results also increase our overall understanding of
glacial − interglacial cycles by putting further constraints on the timing and strength of other processes involved in these cycles, like changes in sea
ice and
ice sheet extents or changes in ocean circulation and deep water
formation.
The observed effects of cryosphere reduction include modification of river regimes due to enhanced
glacial melt, snowmelt advance and enhanced winter base flow;
formation of thermokarst terrain and disappearance of surface lakes in thawing permafrost; decrease in potential travel days of vehicles over frozen roads in the Arctic; enhanced potential for glacier hazards and slope instability due to mechanical weakening driven by
ice and permafrost melting; regional ocean freshening; sea - level rise due to glacier and
ice sheet shrinkage; biotic colonisation and faunal changes in deglaciated terrain; changes in freshwater and marine ecosystems affected by lake -
ice and sea -
ice reduction; changes in livelihoods; reduced tourism activities related to skiing,
ice climbing and scenic activities in cryospheric areas affected by degradation; and increased ease of ship transportation in the Arctic.
