The Seamagic website is now up and running and packed with all sorts of fascinating pictures and articles, even a poem or two, from a variety of contributors – all of whom share a passion for all things marine. If you haven’t been over there yet then I suggest you take a look – and do bookmark it – there’s new stuff being posted all the time and it looks to be shaping up into a fascinating project!
At the moment I’m talking about sea ice and posting pictures I took in the arctic during my days on board the survey ships.
But I’m also talking about sea ice because of its relevance to my forthcoming novel, Red Rock.
You may have already checked out the blurb for the novel which is now up at the Greenhouse website. And if you have you will have noticed the opening lines:
“The world is changing. The ice is melting. But as the icecaps retreat secrets are revealed” …
There isn’t any sea ice in Red Rock. In fact it’s all gone, but that’s the point. And as the ice melts this has an effect on other things – sea levels rise, the climate changes.
If I went back to the Greenland Sea I’m not sure how much ice I would find, compared with what I saw all those years ago. So I’m posting those pictures of the ice that was – a seamagic that may soon be gone.
The world is changing….
What a beautiful picture. I will check out the Seamagic link. I have read your book blurb it sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzanne :-)
DeleteThis sounds like a good site, I'll check it out. I agree the photo is amazing. The fast rate that the ice is melting is a real worry, especially for those of us living a few feet above sea level.
ReplyDeleteA huge worry that could affect a great many people!
