"Chasing Ice"
Published on Dec 14, 2012
On May 28, 2008, Adam LeWinter and Director Jeff Orlowski filmed a historic breakup at the Ilulissat Glacier in Western Greenland. The calving event lasted for 75 minutes and the glacier retreated a full mile across a calving face three miles wide. The height of the ice is about 3,000 feet, 300-400 feet above water and the rest
below water.
The Blackbucks at GNP and Tal Chappar
My good naturalist friend Bhanu was at Taal Chappar, Rajasthan recently, and as I plan to go there in January, I have been following her closely!
These pictures below were just so magical, that I had to share them here, so I can revisit them whenever I want to. It looked like a scene from some fantasy movie with a pair of mythical creatures, and if I blinked they would be gone.
These are the beautiful blackbucks that the Bishnoi protect and why not.
I look forward to seeing these beautiful creatures on the lovely grasslands of Tal Chappar. Thank you Bhanu!

These were larger and with more widespread horns than the ones I had seen at GNP, and Bhanu informed me that the two were different subspecies. |
North-western Blackbuck - subspecies (Antilope cervicapra rajputanae) found in northern India, from Rajasthan upto Punjab. |
South-eastern Blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra cervicapra). |
