Wang concludes that the #scientific community should pay more attention to such coastal #glacier #basins. “Complete #disintegration” of the four glaciers in East Antarctica could trigger global #sea #level rise of more than 7m, he says.

Spilhaus projection is good, but
what about its recent avatar, the #CameronAquaticProjection, which also shows the drainage #basins and their #rivers along each #coast.

"By attaching river basins directly to the Lobes this geographical space is extended as far as the origins of rivers high up on watersheds, allowing, for example, the circulation of water originating as Arctic meltwater throughout the oceans to be tracked."

The black and white photograph captures a moment of domestic life involving three young children, presumably in the late 20th or early 21st century. The setting is indoors with two patterned chairs visible behind them suggesting that this activity may be taking place on a porch or front room floor near an entryway.

One child, wearing what looks like striped pajamas and slippers, sits directly on the wooden flooring while another stands nearby. This standing child wears casual attire, seemingly comfortable for playtime indoors. The focus of their attention is directed towards two shallow bowls placed at some distance from them—one containing a white substance which could be flour or similar material.

The seated girl appears to interact with this bowl; her hands are in motion suggesting she may have been engaging in an activity involving the contents before it was disturbed by one child. The third person, possibly an adult based on stature and clothing style (a sweater over another top), is bending down towards a younger toddler wearing light-colored striped pants.

The room's lighting seems dim with shadows cast across various elements including furniture like chairs suggesting artificial indoor illumination or perhaps natural twilight coming from off-camera sources. There are no visible kitchen appliances such as sinks, washing machines, or dryers in view which might suggest that this activity could be part of a washda [...]

This black and white photograph depicts a scene from Longoteme, Tonga in 1963. A woman is sitting on a low wooden stool outdoors, engaged with one of her young children who she appears to be dressing or caring for using cloth draped over the child's torso. To her left sits another young boy squatting on the same bench holding a coconut close to his chest. Directly in front of them stands a young girl wearing a white dress looking towards something outside of the frame with an attentive expression, while to their right is yet another small child who seems slightly obscured and focused elsewhere.

Behind this group, there's partial visibility of what appears to be part of a wooden structure resembling a traditional fale (a type of house), constructed from wood and possibly thatch or other natural materials. The setting suggests an outdoor rural environment with lush greenery visible in the background hinting at tropical vegetation typical of Tongan landscapes.

The image captures a candid, everyday moment reflecting on the daily lives of these individuals within their community during that era.

The image portrays a black and white photograph of four people, presumably family members, gathered around an outdoor setting. They are engaged in the task of washing clothes by hand using a large tub filled with water. One adult appears to be actively involved in the process while three younger individuals—one child sitting on each side—look at them or engage in their own activities nearby.

In the background stands what looks like a modest, rural wooden house and some trees, suggesting this scene takes place outside of an urban area. The attire worn by these people suggests simple living conditions with no modern amenities around.
The photograph captures a moment that appears both mundane yet intimate, depicting everyday life for its subjects. It is likely part of the series "Washday at the pa," reflecting on communal chores and family bonds through this shared activity.

The image shows two individuals. One person is holding a child, possibly made of clothes or dressed in a way that makes it appear like a baby being carried. This person seems to be posing for the photograph, looking towards the camera with a smile. The other individual appears to be engaged in some sort of outdoor activity, likely washing clothes based on the context provided, and is turned away from the camera, focusing on their task.

The setting is a natural outdoor environment with trees and open space. There is no text present in the image to provide further information. The color palette consists of various shades of gray, white, black, and hints of green and yellow, suggesting that the photo may have been taken during daylight with natural lighting.

The image has a vintage feel, indicated by the clothing styles and the overall appearance of the photograph. It captures a moment of daily life, perhaps from an earlier time period, as suggested by the style of the attire.

This image depicts a scene of traditional laundry practices. Two girls are seated on the ground, engaged in washing clothes. The girl on the left is using a large metal bowl filled with water and some detergent to scrub her clothes, while the girl on the right is using a washboard to clean hers in a larger metal tub. Both of them appear focused on their task. In the foreground, there's a large kettle, likely used for boiling water or steaming clothing. Behind them, a dog is drinking from another large metal tub, adding a casual and domestic atmosphere to the scene. The image captures a moment of everyday life in a location that seems to be a rural setting, possibly in a village or a community where traditional washing methods are still commonly used.

#Werewolf

The red waters of the Vežuva #rivulet can be seen in the photo. This is a very interesting water. The beds of this stream are naturally winding and protected. The valley is deep, wooded. The #Veržuva stream flows from the swampy #basins of the Bezdonii #fluvioglacial plain and is saturated with dissolved #minerals, which give the water of this stream a wide range of #colors.

The German Shepherd in the photo is mine.
