Don't anthropomorphize glaciers. They hate that.

Haunting face crying a river of tears as glacier melts into the sea

At first glimpse it looks like any other glacier you might find in the freezing Arctic wastes of Norway.

But on closer inspection an eerie face is depicted in the melting ice wall that appears to be crying a river of tears.

The forlorn-looking 'Mother Nature' figure appeared to locals during a thaw, with the melting ice and snow falling towards the sea below.

The striking image of the Austfonna ice cap, located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago, would seem certain to be heavily used by environmentalists protesting against climate change.

On edit: It sure beats the Virgin Mary on a moldy wall.

2. That's awesome. Hope they have a video of it. It could become the "face" of climate change.

The Spirit of the Glacier. This is the new face of GW. It should be spread all over the intertubes.
