Ice follies? A worker at Nuuk’s harbour stands beside a big chunk of ice cut from a nearby fiord for use in an installation that will go on display Nov. 29, a day before the start of the COP21 global climate change talks in Paris. The Greenlandic geologist, Minik Rosing, and artist Olafur Eliasson will ship 80 tonnes of ice from Nuuk for use in the installation, which will be arranged in a clock formation at Place de la République in Paris. To illustrate the effects of global warming, they’ll let their creation melt. But there’s no word on what they’ll do with all that fresh water. (PHOTO BY GROUP GREENLAND, COURTESY OF ICE WATCH)
