As the ice melts and the tundra is exposed, two things are likely to happen to accelerate the process of the graying of the ice cap.

Some climate models say the Arctic will be ice-free during the summer by the end of the century; a few predict this much sooner. — Tim Marshall

And the broad arching portals of the grove
Welcome thy entering. — William C. Bryant

The streams than under ice. June could not hire
Her roses to forego the strength they learn
In sleeping on thy breast. — Helen Hunt Jackson
If I were reading a book and happened to strike a wonderful passage I would close the book then and there and go for a walk. I hated the thought of coming to the end of a good book.

Out I would go, rain, hail, snow or ice, and chew the cud. — Henry Miller
The landscape was snow and green ice on broken mountains. These weren't old mountains, worn down by time and weather and full of gentle ski slopes, but young, sulky, adolescent mountains. They held secret ravines and merciless crevices. One yodel out of place would attract, not the jolly echo of a lonely goatherd, but fifty tons of express-delivery snow. — Terry Pratchett

Grief does not expire like a candle or the beacon on a lighthouse. It simply changes temperature. It becomes a kind of personal weather system. Snow settles in the liver.

Big mountains are a completely different world: snow, ice, rocks, sky, and thin air. You cannot conquer them, only rise to their height for a short time; and for that they demand a great deal.

It is why I became a mountaineer. — Anatoli Boukreev
I see the regions of snow and ice, I see the sharp-eyed Samoiede and the Finn, I see the seal-seeker in his boat poising his lance, I see the Siberian on his slight-built sledge drawn by dogs, I see the porpoise-hunters, I see the whale-crews of the south Pacific and the north Atlantic, I see the cliffs, glaciers, torrents, valleys of Switzerland - I mark the long winters and the isolation. — James Joyce
