implausibly real... layer cake of #Antarctic cloud, Victoria Land mountains (some being 4 km high) and an ocean right at the point of #seaice forming... we slowly drifted up to it before starting a sampling line moving up the coast. #oceanography#cold
Alaska’s Cold Snap 2024 is done. In some areas the past two weeks featured the coldest sustained weather in 15 years. At others, a day or two of intense cold was more prominent. While quite cold for the 21st century, this event doesn’t even rate an asterisk compared to 20th century cold snaps. Lowest community temperature was at perennially cold spot of Chicken at -62F (-52.2C). #akwx#Arctic#Cold#Winter2024#Alaska @Climatologist49
Sun's out today trying to melt this off but we had a full-blown snow storm all day yesterday, so I'm posting my most wintery of tunes, "Twisted Trees, Winter Tiger." A quiet minute and a half of slow moving harmonics and meditations on loneliness.

#MildlyInteresting The patterns and colors of this #cold#chocolate#coffee match that of the table. The reflection of the lamp hung on the ceiling and wall color also resemble that of the moon on a clear blue sky. #Photography
