Natural Wonders to See Before They Disappear

The Poles:

Soaring ice bergs, Aurora Borealis, magnificent animals like penguins, polar bears and whales - the natural occurrence you find at the Poles are exceptional and inspiring. It is envisaged that eighty percent of the emperor penguin population of Antarctica will be lost and the rest endangered to extinction if global warming continues. In the Arctic, the steady loss of ice (ice has decreased three percent per decade since the 1970s) endangers the existence of polar bear. The entire ecosystems are in threat if sea ice wanes at the poles: the phytoplankton that grows under ice sheets feeds zooplankton and small crustaceans like krill, which are on the food chain for fish, seals, whales, polar bears and penguins. If studies that predict persistent global warming are true then it means, within twenty to thirty years, no ice will for in Antarctica.
