Vatnajokull Glacier, Iceland

Vatnajökull Glacier (2110 m) is the largest glacier in Iceland and it’s also the largest glacier mass in Europe. It covers an area of roughly between 8100 sq. km and 8300 sq. km, and it’s about 1000 m thick at its thickest point. Its average thickness is 400 – 500 m, and the total ice volume of Vatnajokull is probably in the vicinity of 3300 cubic km.
The glaciers of Iceland are receding at an alarming rate. Iceland loses about 11 billion tons of ice per year, and scientists fear all of the island country’s 400-plus glaciers will be gone by 2200, according to Cymene Howe, associate professor of anthropology Rice University.

Lower Manhattan from Pier 1 Brooklyn Bridge Park

In 1642 the first ferry landing opened on the land that is now Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Empire Fulton Ferry section. Soon after, a thriving trading economy developed into a small town called “the Veer,” meaning “the Ferry.” As the Veer grew throughout the 17th century, it became known as the “Road to the Ferry.” On August 29, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, the Veer served as a crucial strategic location for George Washington and the Continental Army in the Battle of Long Island. In the middle of the night, Washington’s troops evaded the quickly-advancing British Army by escaping across the East River to Manhattan.

Battery Park, NYC

Battery Park NYC – Art of the Medicine Man
The earliest inhabitants of Manhattan, the Lenape and Munsee Indians, use the land around The Battery for hunting and fishing. A trading path is established from The Battery leading north through Manhattan. This wide roadway is called a “broad” way and continues today as the modern avenue, Broadway.
In 1986 a master plan for Battery Park (later returned to its historic name “The Battery) by landscape architect Philip Winslow, is accepted by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and approved by the New York City Arts Commission.
