 BLUE FACE

 

 
At left, Glacier Upsala as
seen from space; at right,
a tour boat approaches
the glacier from the sea.

In 50 years, five miles
The Glacier Upsala receded,
Leaving scattered blue-faced icebergs
Floating on a dead-calm sea
Lamenting warming of the world.

---Lake Argentino, Calafate, Argentina, at the foot of the Andes
