"Some time ago, a friend asked me if I believed in infinity. It was an easy
answer: infinity is walking through Antarctic glaciers, the repetitive and
overwhelming whiteness of the landscapes, and the feeling of walking in
circles.
Being born and raised in Patagonia, I’ve always felt attracted to Antarctica.
Shackleton became one of my heroes, and the fantasy of visiting and exploring
infinity in the iced continent has always been on the radar.
But my chances might be melting away. Because beneath its serene façade lies an
alarming tale that threatens not just the continent’s frozen landscape but also
the delicate balance of life on Earth.
Recent reports from July 30th, 2023, reveal that Antarctica has lost a mass of
ice the size of my country, Argentina, the 8th largest country in the world.
And this profound loss is sending shockwaves through the global community."
