Pic of the Day: Melting Polar Bear

Posted on December 22, 2009 in: Culture, Pics, Travel

This photo was taken by my friend Ernie. It’s an ice-sculpted polar bear melting outside the pavilion set up by the World Wildlife Fund at the recent Copenhagen climate summit to portray global warming’s effect on the polar bear habitat.

My friend Ernie is spending the academic year in Italy teaching math to American high school students who are spending a year abroad. You can read his informative and funny adventures on his blog. His recent trip to Copenhagen (I love how cheap it is to travel within Europe) coincided with the world climate summit. As part of that event, he took this picture of an ice-sculpted polar bear outside the pavilion set up by the World Wildlife Fund to portray global warming’s effect on the polar bear habitat.
