One of the most important elements of Planet Earth that's becoming extinct the fastest is our ever-shrinking glaciers. It'll probably be the thing that ends up killing us all off eventually, but that's best left for a different discussion. In this batch of work, I wanted to include glaciers in with the stuff I've been doing with wildlife, and consider the glaciers another species that should be understood and appreciated.

I took a single photograph acquired from Pixabay, and rendered it four different ways. The first one is the original and was taken in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile and is one of The Patagonia Glaciers. The South Patagonian Ice Caps are a jagged set of glaciers that are a mixture of ice and rocky terrain.

There is an excellent Travel Organization called Swoop Patagonia that provides some outstanding trips to The Patagonia's. The have cruises, hiking, kayaking, and day trips which all looks like an experience you'll remember the rest of your life.

The reason I did the final one as a comic book rendering is that I'm planning to do another kids book about glaciers and their dilemma. I wanted to try it out and see how they looked done that way.
